Disabling Extended Press Features
Users who take an extended time to release when touching the red and green buttons [B and C], or to release
the external switches, may find that Siri and Voice Prompt deploy accidentally.
To disable (or re-enable) the extended press facilities, first put the unit into Programming Mode by pressing
the Feature Button [G] for approximately 2 seconds. The unit emits a warbling beep as it enters Programming
Mode and the status LED [D] lights.
While in Programming Mode, move the joystick [A]
upwards
and listen to the number of beeps that are
emitted from the unit. This tells you the current setting without making any changes, according to the
following table:
Once the current setting has been established, should you wish to make a change, simply move the stick
upwards
a number of times until the correct number of beeps are emitted. Once you are happy with the
setting, press the Feature button [G] briefly and the unit emits a warbling beep once again to indicate it is
leaving Programming Mode and storing the new settings.
1 Beep
Allow extended press features (default setting)
2 Beeps Disable extended press features

shown on the rear of
J-Pad
for
easy reference.
Using External Switches
If, due to limited motor skills, the user needs to lean on the red and green touch sensitive buttons to gain
access to the joystick, the buttons will operate inadvertently. To avoid this situation, plug external switches
into sockets [H] and/or [J]. Doing so disables the touch sensitive buttons and they cease to function until the
external switch is unplugged.
Note that disabling the touch sensitive buttons is done on an individual basis, so if you need to disable
the green button [B], plug a switch into socket [H]. Similarly, to disable the red button [C], plug an external
switch into socket [J].
Accessing Siri
More recent iPads and iPhones contain a voice
recognition feature named Siri. This can be quite
useful for users who would benefit from
J-Pad
. To
gain access to Siri on an iPad, the user presses and
holds the Home button for two seconds. This may
prove difficult for some.
Therefore, a facility has been included in
J-Pad
where pressing the red button [C] for two seconds
also launches Siri. A further, brief, press hides Siri.
Users who find it difficult to release a button
quickly may find that Siri deploys inadvertently. To
avoid this, please refer to the following section:
Battery Life and Battery Charging
A fully charged battery gives
approximately 30 hours of use.
When the battery is getting low,
the charging LED [E] begins to blink
red. This is an indication that you
should charge the battery soon.
Plug the charging cable into the
charging socket [F] and then into a
USB socket on a computer. Ensure
the computer is turned on.
While charging, the charging
LED will be illuminated green.
Once charging is complete (a
matter of around 2 hours if fully
discharged) the charging LED will
be extinguished. You can then
unplug the cable. Note that you
can carry on using the
J-Pad
while
it is charging.
J-Pad
plugs into a computer USB
port for charging purposes only-
it does not give any functional
connection this way).
J-Pad
can also be charged via the
charger plug supplied with iPad-
simply plug the USB cable into
this instead of a PC.
