Conversation Icon/Split Screen
This function allows for both users of the UbiDuo 3 to communicate
simultaneously with each other; and is the re
ason for the UbiDuo’s existence.
When a key is pressed on one half of the UbiDuo 3, its corresponding character
is immediately transmitted to the second half and displayed on the screen. This
gives each user the ability to type and read simultaneously without having to
wait for the other user to finish typing.
The Enter key does not function as a command to send a line of text; it only
commands the UbiDuo 3 to start a new line of text.
Both halves of the UbiDuo 3 must be turned on for a split screen chat to be initiated. The two halves will
automatically connect with each other when the split screen chat is selected on one of the halves.
The text you type will appear at the top of the screen. The text the other user types will appear at the bottom
half of the screen.

ab
key to switch to your partner’s chat window; then use the up,

Press the TAB key again to toggle back to your own chat window.
Exiting the Split Screen Chat
To exit the split screen chat and return to the Main Menu without saving
