Number of Switches

Use a single switch to scan to any button in your vocabulary.
Plug a switch into either switch jack A or switch jack B on
your device. When 1 switch is selected, the Auto scan type is
available.
2:
2-switch scanning uses two switches to scan from left to right
and top to bottom to any button in your vocabulary. Plug
two switches into switch jack A and switch jack B on your
device.
Scan Type
Auto:
When the auto scan method is selected, the scan box
advances automatically. Auto is available when 1 switch is
selected.
Step: When the step scan method is selected, you must activate
your switch each time you want to move the scan box to a
different button in your vocabulary.
Scan Pattern
Linear: Each button is scanned one by one moving from left to right
and top to bottom. This type of scan pattern requires the
most amount of time to get to the bottom right hand corner
of the grid; however, it is easy to understand.
Row /
Column:
The row/column scan highlights each row of buttons
beginning with the top row and moving down the screen.
When the row that contains the button you want is
highlighted, activate your switch. The scan then highlights
the separate buttons in the row you selected, moving from
left to right across the screen. When the button you want is
highlighted, activate your switch.
Column /
Row:
The column/row scan highlights the columns first instead of
the rows, moving from left to right across the screen. When
the scan reaches the column that contains the button you
want, activate your switch. The scan then begins to highlight
each button in that row. When the button you want is
highlighted, activate your switch.
