Setting up Switch Scanning in TouchChat
As an alternative to directly selecting each button on the screen, the application offers single switch and
two-switch scanning.
Setting up One or Two Switches
You can set up one or two wired or wireless switches to work with scanning in the TouchChat app.
1.
Connect or pair each switch.
Wired switch:
Plug the switch into switch jack A or switch jack B on the device. If you are using two
switches, plug a switch into each jack.
Cords and cables are potential entanglement or strangulation hazards. Please consider this prior to placing these
items with device users.
Wireless switch:
Turn the switch on and pair it with your device according to the instructions that
came with your switch.

you can disregard.
