Modes of operation
The ProxPAD™ choice maker has two modes of operation, TOUCH and PROXIMITY. The mode is selected
by the position of the labelled slide switch on the end panel of the device . The device will play a sound
tag when it is pressed or swiped depending on the mode switch setting.
• in TOUCH mode you have to press the tag onto the target area
• inPROXIMITY mode you need only present or swipe the tag near the target area
Power
The ProxPAD comes with batteries installed and can also run from an external power supply (sold
separately).
In TOUCH mode there is very little drain on the batteries because the device goes to sleep when not
speaking, in this mode you will get good battery life.
In PROXIMITY mode the device is consuming power continuously. In this mode the batteries will last a day
or two. We recommend switching out of this mode as soon as you’re done using the device. Alternatively,
you can plug the device into a wall power supply and leave it in this mode as long as you
Batteries
The device is delivered with 4x AAA alkaline batteries installed; we strongly recommend the use of
Duracell™ alkaline batteries. When replacing batteries DO NOT use carbon batteries as they will wear out
very quickly. Never mix battery types!
To replace batteries:
1. turn the device over so the hatch faces away from you.
2. remove the battery cover by pressing gently on both sides of the arrow and pushing in the direction
indicated.
3. remove the exhausted batteries noting which way they are pointing.
4. insert the new batteries into the battery compartment. Note the orientation of the battery as indicated
in the plastic in the battery compartment. Make certain that all the batteries are inserted pointing in
the correct directions.
5. replace the cover.
