Setting Scan Timing
Scan speed is the amount of time it takes for your device to move from one button, row, or column to
the next in a scan. For example, if the scan speed is set to 1.0 seconds, it takes one second from the time
one key is highlighted until the next key is highlighted.
To change the scan speed, choose
Menu

Settings

Scan Speed

may need to test several speeds until you find the one that works best. Available speeds range from 0.2
seconds to 10 seconds.
