Two button scanning allows two switches to be
used. One switch for initiating scanning and the other
switch for selecting the desired message. It is often used
where the two phases of scanning (initiation and selec-
tion) need to be broken up whether for cognitive or
physical reasons. Two button scanning works with
visual scanning, both types of auditory scanning and
with sequential messaging. Two button scanning is
turned on while in the Active state using SW2. If SW2=
ON, two button scanning is on. An external switch must
be plugged into the SCAN jack and another switch
plugged into the jack marked SELECT. The switch
plugged into the SCAN jack will start the scan and also
advance the scan to the next message by repetitively
tapping the switch. The switch plugged into the
SE-
LECT jack will stop the scan and activate the desired
message.

With standard auditory scanning, each message
plays one-by-one, quietly, privately through a headphone
or pillow speaker (included with your VoicePal Max).
The headphones or pillow speaker plug into the jack
marked SCAN SPK. The volume level played through
the headphones cannot be adjusted using the Volume
knob. When the operator hears the desired message, he
or she can then select it by pressing the external scan
switch. This causes the message to play loudly over the
built-in amplified speaker. The LEDs illuminate during
scanning as each message plays.

AUSE
This feature applies only to auditory scanning. The
VoicePal Max can be programmed with a pause between
each message, thus changing the scan speed. This gives
the operator more time to select a message. The
interauditory pause can be 0, 1, 2, or 4 seconds.
Example 5: Set interauditory pause to four seconds.
