time press and hold the button, or switch, until you hear a second set of beeps indicating the new
drag lock time.

input to hear what the Right Switch is programmed to do. 1 beep = Normal (Right mouse click), 2
beeps = Change Mouse Speed, 3 beeps = Smart Mode 1, 4 beeps = Smart Mode 2. If you want to
change the right switch function press and hold the switch, until you hear a second set of beeps
indicating the new function. Smart Mode is further explained in the next section.
Step 6: Exit program mode
To exit program mode press the program button again. The Point-It! will emit a long low beep as the
changes are saved.
