6) Type and control keyboard by foot 

 
If you have on-screen keyboard software installed, such as 

Microsoft

®

 Tablet PC Input Panel

you can perform the functionalities of a traditional keyboard using your feet. Simply point the 
mouse pointer (controlled by the Foot Mouse) at the ‘keys’ of the on-screen keyboard, then click 
using the 

D

 button on the Califone Footime

 Pedal to enter. 

Important note:

 Remember you 

need to ensure that the push-button on the left side of the Pedal is 

not

 pushed in to use buttons C, 

D and E as mouse buttons. 
 
The on-screen keyboard enables your feet to type letters/symbols, control keyboard functions 
and surf the Internet in a manner similar to using a traditional manual keyboard.

Ensure

 the button on the left side of the pedal is 

pushed in

iii.

unrecognized. It should ask you to select its type.
