Refer to Figure 1 for an introduction to the various buttons and
features of your
n-ABLER
.
Getting Started
Cursor Control
Rotating the ball in the
direction you wish the
cursor to move moves the
cursor.
The cursor speed setting
(see figure 2 below) affects
the relationship between
ball speed and cursor
speed.
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’
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Speed Control
(see Figure 2)
This button allows the cursor speed to be changed to suit your
personal preference. Press the button briefly to reduce the
speed. There are four speed settings to choose from. Once you
reach the slowest speed pressing the button again will return you
to the fastest speed.
If the buzzer is on it emits a ‘beep, beep, beep’ to indicate each
change of speed.
Note the speed setting you have chosen is automatically retained
in your
n-ABLER’s
memory and recalled after loss of power (e.g.
if the computer is turned off).
