Configuring Switches
To use an external switch, plug the switch into either switch jack A or
switch jack B on the side of the device.
You can choose to have scanning activate automatically, or you can
choose to either hold the switch or step to each location. With Auto
Scan off, a switch activation is required to move the scan through each
button, one at a time.
1. To enable scanning, choose Menu > Settings > Input > Scanning >
Enable Scanning.
2. Choose Switch Access > Switch Configuration.
3. Choose the selection method: Touchscreen Only, One Switch, One
Switch + Touchscreen, or Two Switch.
4. To set scanning to activate without holding a switch, choose Switch
Access > Auto Scan.
5. To find other switch scanning options, choose Back.
Setting up Touchscreen Scanning
There are times when a user is not capable of activating specific areas
on the screen. For example, maybe the user does not have the pointing
skills to hit one button. Using the touchscreen to scan allows the user to
tap anywhere on the screen to initiate a scan of the buttons. In this
scenario the device screen acts as a single switch.
1. Choose Menu > Settings > Input > Scanning > Enable Scanning.
2. Choose Switch Access > Switch Configuration.
3. Choose Touchscreen Only.
4. Configure other settings as appropriate.
