There  are  different  considerations  for  the  Function  settings  depending  on  the  Activity  and  the 

receiving SimplyWorks device you are using. The following describes some of these considerations:

Dice

In  Dice  Activity, 

KINETIC

  always  outputs  numbers  1-6  to  correspond  to  faces  1-6,  irrespective  of 

the Function setting. This enables it to interface directly with the Smooth Talker AAC app and other 

forthcoming Pretorian apps. Therefore you do not need to set up the Function setting when in Dice 

Activity.

Dice-as-a-Switch, Find-Me, Find-Me-Sequence, Tilt, Tap/Catch

The choice of Function depends largely on what you wish to achieve when 

KINETIC

 is triggered. It is 

almost impossible to describe all the possibilities, but here are a few popular configurations:

• 

If you are using switch adapted apps, most use Space/Enter or 

~

1/

~

3 to scan and select.

• 

If you would like to play music when 

KINETIC

 is triggered, this may be achieved in several ways.  

You can simply use Play/Pause to toggle the music on and off each time 

KINETIC

 is triggered, or  

you could use the Timed Play settings to give a burst of music of a pre-determined length. Note  

that Timed Play can be cancelled by pressing either Activity or Function during playback.

• 

iOS Switch Control may also be used and it is recommended that Space and Enter be used as the 

switch settings, although other keyboard settings may equally be used. You should avoid   

using ~1 and ~3 for Switch Control since they begin with the same character. Media functions 

cannot be used for iOS Switch Control.

• 

Using the camera is an ideal way to engage children, whether it is still or video photography. The 

Volume Up setting acts as the shutter release for still photography and also for Record/Pause 

for video.
