Understand Learn Modes

• Functions of the two switch sockets
  
  

Learn Mode 2

Used to set:

• Dwell Click function (type of click)

Press and hold the Feature button until you hear an ascending beep.

Step B – Set Orientation

6. Using the product 

Basic movement

Move the joystick gently in any direction to move the cursor.

The cursor speed is set separately (see below).

Switch-based clicking

If switches are connected, you can assign them to:

• Left click
• Right click
• Drag-lock
• Double click
• Cursor speed control

Dwell Click (no switch required)

If Dwell Click is enabled, the joystick will click automatically after the cursor stops moving for the chosen delay. Ideal for users who find switches difficult.

Drag-Lock

A single press latches the left button on.

A beep sounds (if enabled).

Press any switch again to release.

7. Adjustments & options

Cursor speed

Press the Feature button briefly to cycle speeds:

• 1 beep = slowest
• 4 beeps = fastest
  You can also assign cursor speed to a switch socket.
  

Audible feedback

Can be turned on/off in Learn Mode 1.

(The buzzer still operates during Learn Modes even if disabled.)

Orientation

Crucial when mounting for chin/head control — set “up” to match how the joystick will be positioned.
