Ability Switches
(only available on SmartNAV EG and AT models)
Ability switches provide an alternative clicking method that can be operated by hand, foot or sip-and-puff
switches. On the back (SmartNav 4) or side (SmartNav 3) of the SmartNav there is an industry standard
Ability Switch jack which allows users to plug Ability Switches in to perform various actions. By default
the switches are mapped to emulate the Left and Right mouse buttons, but may be configured to perform
other functions related to the SmartNAV software such as Middle Click, Pause, Scroll or Precision Mode.
A Y-split adapter is included with the SmartNAV EG and AT models to allow two single action (mono)
Ability Switches to be used. A dual action switch with two buttons and a stereo cable can be plugged
directly into the back (SmartNav 4) or side (SmartNav 3) of the SmartNav without using the Y-Split
adapter.
Left & Right
Use the drop-down menus to select the action that the ability switch will perform when it is
activated.
Sticky
The Sticky feature changes the way the Ability Switches work such that activating the switch once
turns the assigned action on, and activating the switch the Hotkey again turns the assigned action
back off.
Show Dwell Clicking Toolbar
(SmartNAV AT users only)
When selected the Dwell Click toolbar will be enabled, this enables the dwell clicking functionality.
Double Click Assist
When this box is checked a small pause will be inserted after single-left clicks to make it easier for the
user to double-click. This works with left clicks issued by both the Hotkeys and Ability Switches.
Enable Voice Recognition
To enable speech recognition for the SmartNAV software; go to the 'Clicking' tab and check the box titled
'Use speech recognition for clicking and hotkeys'. This will enable the voice recognition functionality. If
you receive an error, please see the Chapter 9 (Trouble Shooting Section). If you receive no error, then the
speech recognition engine has been engaged successfully, plug in your microphone and get clicking!
