Using your O6 Device 

22 

 

 Triple-click the 

Ring

 button again. A single haptic Buzz indicates the transition to 

this default mode. 

Tip:

 Each subtle tactile click performs an action, e.g., increasing or decreasing the volume by 

one level. 

Tip:

 O6 consists of different modes, and the transition into these different modes is 

indicated by unique haptic (Vibration) buzzes. If your O6 is not behaving as expected, please 
change modes to check whether you are in the correct mode. 

Advanced Modes 

Advanced Mode is a powerful mode for remotely controlling any of your existing apps 
with or without visual attention. This mode is intended for more advanced users and 
leverages the iOS VoiceOver screenreader feature.  
 

Tip:

 Before you use this powerful feature in your car, or in any other setting, please practice 

at home! 

 
Advanced Mode is followed by the Media and Settings mode. Here are the differences 

between “Advanced” and “Media and Settings”

 modes: 

 

Advanced Mode  

This is the default mode in Advanced mode. This mode replaces all touchscreen 
gestures with an intuitive remote control using O6. Use this mode to navigate 
between apps, open apps, go back to Home screen, switch between apps, and 
listen to apps

all without touching the screen. 

 

Media and Settings Mode

 

Media & Settings mode has the exact same functionality as Basic mode, including 
volume change on press and turn of bezel dial. The intention here is for VoiceOver 
users to use the Media mode functions without turning VoiceOver Off. In addition to 
the Basic Mode functions, here are the additional commands: 

Enabling the VoiceOver shortcut on your iPhone (setup only needed once) 

Before you can use these modes, you need configure iOS VoiceOver as follows: 

1.

 

Tap 

Settings

 on your iPhone home screen. 

2.
