Operation
Reverse and Function Control Buttons
Direction Indicator LED
An indicator LED alerts the operator to the current direction of the
scrolling prompter text. The indicator LED illuminates green when
scrolling is in forwards direction and red when in reverse. Reverse
indication is active when either the reverse foot switch or the reverse
button on the MFC-D are being operated.
Priority Control
During operation, the control system has built-in intelligence to work on
the principle of ‘last in takes control’. This means that whichever
controller (hand, foot or desk) is currently being operated will take
control of the prompted text and override the previous controller.
Reverse button - Toggles reverse scroll of
prompter text. Press again to return to forwards
scroll.
Function button - This can be programmed through
WinPlus for various functions, or controls devices
through a general purpose interface.
Second function button - Same programmable
capability as F1.
When the foot control is idle and reverse is selected via the
desk pad, the prompter text will creep backwards slowly.
This is to make the operator aware of the direction the text
will scroll when the foot pad is depressed.
