Section 7: Configurations

Note to Scanners:

With the exception of the

List

and

Morse-Only

configurations, all configurations are

designed to work properly with scanning input. However, because they are not all optimized specifically for
scanning, it is recommended that scanning users learn to use the

Scan-List

or

Scan-Char

configuration to

take full advantage of all the communication and message production features of the device.

Note:

Most of the configurations include additional features that can be accessed through the

use of the

Ctrl

or

Shift

prefix keys. Functions such as Speak Word or Speak Sentence, Undo and

Redo, and Back-Word or Back-Line are a few of the special functions that can be found. Look
for these shortcuts to make your communication experience fast and efficient.
