3.13.2. Configuration Backup
If you have been making a lot of changes to a configuration that is stored on your device, it might be prudent
to make a backup of that configuration in case something unforeseen happens on the device. The “Palmtop
backup“ will save your device setup information (and other important data), but it will not save the
configurations you have customized.
To backup your configurations, you must first connect your Palmtop device to a PC as described in section
6.3. After the device is connected, launch the PC Editor software on the PC, and select
Tools > Transfer
Utilities > Transfer Files . The program will give you a list of all the user configurations currently on your
device. Select the ones you want to backup and click the Copy to PC button. The software will transfer the
configurations (as well as any custom sounds and images) to the PC. You now have a copy of the
configuration that can be exported to the device in the event that the original becomes corrupted or is
accidentally erased. See section 4.17 for more details on transferring configurations (and other files)
between your PC and your Palmtop device.
When the process is complete, you may disconnect your Palmtop device from your PC.
3.14. Dedicated Device Mode
In some cases, it is advantageous to restrict the user to only access the Palmtop software and not the other
software that comes with the device. This can be done by putting the Palmtop software into "Dedicated
Device" mode. To enable this mode, choose
Tools > Options to bring up the Options dialog, select the
System tab, and check the Act like dedicated device box. If you are using a Medicare-compliant Palmtop
device, you will always be in Dedicated Device mode. For details on this special mode, refer to section 4.11.
3.15. Using Digitized Speech
For some individuals, recorded speech may be preferable to synthesized speech. Your Palmtop device is
capable of recording sound using the device's built-in microphone. For details on the process of recording
digital speech (or other sounds), see section 4.21. For information on how to assign a recorded sound to a
button, see section 4.19.7.
3.16. Setting up Scanning
Your Palmtop device provides several configurations that are designed specifically for scanning users. The
Scan , Scan-List , and Scan-Char configurations are designed to be efficient for scanning users, placing high-
probability letters and punctuation in locations that accelerate message production.
3.16.1. What is Scanning?
Some Palmtop users require a scanning interface to make selections. Scanning allows individuals with
limited motor abilities to use a Palmtop device through one or more switches rather than using the
touchscreen. The user can activate a switch or switches to select the button group or individual button
highlighted on the Palmtop screen. All of the standard configurations provided with Palmtop allow for
scanning input. Palmtop supports three different methods of scanning. Each method allows for customization
of the features and options that control how the system performs.
