Bluetooth on: this prevents grip changes, but the
hand may still open and close as normal.
Before you get started
The TASKA Hand works seamlessly with the Coapt Gen1 or Gen2 systems.
Please read the following to ensure a successful startup for the TASKA Hand:
The Bluetooth on the TASKA Hand must be turned off at all times for correct
operation of the Coapt system.
Electrode settings are automatically configured by the Coapt system.
There is no need to modify electrode settings using the TASKA software.
The OK (custom1) grip is assigned to Pincer Grip in the Coapt system and must
not be modified.
Do not configure Grip Triggers and Idle Return grips using the TASKA software.
These will cause unpredictable operation with the Coapt system.
A 6-band Coaxial Plug is required when using the Coapt system with a Quick
Disconnect TASKA Hand.
All Low Profile TASKA Hands come with a digital connection plug (labelled
COMMS only). No additional adapters are required.
Bluetooth off: the Coapt system functions
normally with the TASKA Hand, including driving
grip changes.
Connecting to HandCal or MyTASKA
1. Ensure HandCal is installed and the Bluetooth dongle is connected to the PC.*
2. Hold down the hand button to turn Bluetooth on.
3. Start the HandCal software or MyTASKA app and connect to the TASKA Hand.
4. Adjust the required settings as per section
4. Configure**.
5. To disconnect from the hand, click disconnect in the software.
6. Turn the hand Bluetooth off by holding down the hand button.
7. Power cycle the hand to reset Coapt.
Once reset, the Coapt system will operate as normal.
As the Coapt system automatically sets most essential settings in TASKA Hand,
connecting to HandCal or MyTASKA for the initial setup may not be necessary.
* Not required when using MyTASKA.
** If creating or modifying custom grips, do not modify the OK grip (custom1),
this grip is assigned to the Pincer grip within the Coapt system.
