Manual selection
You can select a screen item directly using dedicated switches instead of having iPod touch
alternately highlight every item.
Stop scanning and highlight items yourself. Add switches in addition to your Select Item switch to
perform the Move To Next Item and Move To Previous Item actions. (You can use the iPod touch
FaceTime camera with head-left and head-right movements for these switches.) When you’ve
addedtheswitches,turnoSettings>General>Accessibility>SwitchControl>AutoScanning.
Important: Don’tturnoAutoScanningifyouuseonlyoneswitch.Youneedatleasttwo:oneto
move to an item and a second to select the item.
