Getting Started

Refer to Figure 1 for an introduction to the various buttons and features of your 

n-ABLER

.

Figure 1

LED

 

The LED is used to show 

which features are active:
Green 

Drag Lock off 

Red 

Drag Lock on

Blinks off briefly 

(either colour)

 

Single Axis mode selected

Flashes Green

 

Learn mode

Single Axis Button

 

This button is used to freeze movement in one axis allowing you to ‘home in’ to a 

position one axis at a time.
Press the button once to give left-right cursor only movement. Press it a second time 

to give up-down cursor only movement. Press it a third time to give scroll movement 

(similar to that on a ‘wheel mouse’). Press it a fourth time to return to normal operation.

If the buzzer is on it emits a single beep to indicate each change of axis and the LED 

blinks while in single axis mode.

The cursor speed setting 

affects the relationship 

between ball movement 

and cursor speed (see top 

of next page).

If the buzzer is on it emits an ascending two-tone beep as the Drag Lock is turned 

on and a descending two-tone beep as it is turned off. Whilst the Drag Lock is on 

the LED turns red to give you a visual indication that Drag Lock is in operation.

If you have decided to 

have the buzzer on (see 

Additional Features and 

Learn Mode) it emits a 

‘beep, beep’ to indicate 

the double click has 

taken place.

Left Mouse Button

 

(Red)

 

Performs exactly the same 

function as a mouse ‘left click’

Right Mouse Button

 

(Yellow)

 

Performs exactly the same 

function as a mouse ‘right 

click’

Drag Lock Button (Blue)

 

When dragging an object on 

the screen it can sometimes 

be difficult moving the 

cursor whilst keeping the 

Left Button depressed. To 

overcome this difficulty 

your 

n-ABLER

 has a Drag 

Lock Button. Simply press 

this button to perform the 

‘dragging’ operation.
When you have finished 

press any button to cancel.

Cursor Control

 

Move the trackball in the 

direction you wish the 

cursor to move

Double Click Button

 

(Green)

 

Double clicking on the Left 

Button can sometimes be 

awkward, so we’ve 

included a button to do it 

for you! Just press the 

green button once and 

your 

n-ABLER

 does the 

double click sequence 

automatically.
