There are programmable options for the timings and sensitivity of the operations. Refer to the Bluetooth® Programming
chapter for further information.
4 OPERATING AN ANDROID DEVICE
The operating method is similar to that of a Windows PC and the same programmable options apply. Refer to the Bluetooth®
Programming chapter for further details.
4.1 CONSIDERATIONS
The Omni2 cannot switch an Android device on or off.
The Sleep function of the Android device must be disabled.
If the device does ‘go to sleep’, then a manual wake-up process will be needed.
5 OPERATING AN IDEVICE
The Omni2 can control an iDevice in two ways:
Using the iDevice’s Switch Control functionality.
Using the iDevice’s Switch Control functionality in conjunction with the iDevice’s VoiceOver functionality.
These two methods will be referred to as Switch Control and VoiceOver respectively, and each is explained in the following
sections.
5.1 SWITCH CONTROL
The principle of Switch Control is that certain iDevice commands, such as the Home button or tapping the screen, can be
assigned to commands received via Bluetooth® from an external device such as the Omni2.
The process for assigning Omni2 commands to the iDevice commands is covered in the Switch Control Set-Up Section.
An example of Switch Control is given below. Please note, the screen navigation sequences are defined by the iDevice and not
the Omni2.
