to one of the Omni’s ‘User Switch’ jack sockets. For details of installation and
connections, please refer to the ‘Single Switch Scanner’ section of Chapter 1.

The method of driving is dependent on whether the R-net system is configured
for ‘momentary’ or ‘latched’ operation.
In momentary operation, continuously depressing the User Switch whilst one of
the ‘arrow’ icons is shown will cause the powerchair to drive in that direction until
the switch is released. If the User Switch is depressed when the ‘M’ icon is shown,
the Omni will enter the User Menu.
