Before plugging the LipSync, make sure of the following:

2.
Computing device and LipSync are securely mounted to a stable surface.
3.
LipSync USB, adapter cable and external power source are plugged together (see

Mounting
Wheelchair:
Every wheelchair has different points available for mounting. Common mounting
points available on power wheelchairs are the headrest rail, back of wheelchair, armrest rail,
under chair cushion, chair rail, and footplate. Try out different areas and see what works best. If
you are not familiar with mounts, consult with a local assistive technology professional.
Desk:
Find a clear space on the front edge of your desk or table. Orient the mount bracket toward
the user being careful not to move the LipSync. Secure the bracket and adjust the mounting arm
so the LipSync is within easy reach. Tighten the knob when the arm is in the desired position.
Checklist for after mounting:
Are the clamp and mount secure and do not move?
Is there clearance around the wheels, wires, and chair frame with the mount attached?
Does the wheelchair fit through doorways?
Is the driving view of the user clear with no obstructions?
Is the mobile device within viewing angle of the LipSync?
Can the user easily reach the LipSync to use it?
