AeroSwitch User’s Guide 3

Safety Information

Any mounts used should be fitted by a qualified person. Failure to install the mounting system according to

the manufacturer's instructions may result in an injury to the user.

Analysis of positioning by a qualified person is required to prevent repetitive stress injuries to the user.

Cables are a potential entanglement or strangulation hazard.

Do not immerse the switch in water.

When removed, the battery can be a choking hazard or could pose a hazard if ingested. Keep the replacement

battery in a safe location until used and properly dispose of the old battery according to local, state, and/or

country regulations.

The battery cover screws can be choking hazards. Keep them in a safe location if removed and refasten the

cover securely.

The screwdriver provided with the switch could be a hazard for poking an eye. Store it in a safe location when

not in use.

Implantable Medical Devices: A minimum of six (6) inches should be maintained between a handheld wireless

mobile device and an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker, implantable cardioverter defibrillator,

vagus nerve stimulator, shunt, or stent, to avoid potential magnetic interference with the medical device. Persons

who have such devices:

•Should ALWAYS keep the mobile device a minimum of six (6) inches from their implantable medical

device;

•Should not carry the mobile device in a breast pocket;

•Should move the mobile device away from themselves immediately if there is any reason to suspect that it is

interfering with the implantable medical device;

•Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of the implantable medical device. If you

have any questions about using your wireless mobile device with an implantable medical device, consult

your health care provider.

AeroSwitch User’s Guide 4

A Quick Look at AeroSwitch Features

The AeroSwitch™ is a wireless switch that can be used to control electronic speech generating devices. It has two

ports that allow for the connection of wired switches (mono or dual). A rotary dial allows you to set up options for

sending in broadcast mode or keyboard mode.

Turning the AeroSwitch On

Slide the power switch to the on position. The blue LED will flash to indicate the remaining battery charge. You

may need to wait a few seconds before the LED begins to flash.

Number of Flashes

Remaining Battery Charge

4 flashes

76% - 100%

3 flashes

50% - 75%

2 flashes

25% - 49%

1 flash Less than 25%*

1 very short flash

Less than 10%*

* Consider getting a replacement battery.

Deciding on Broadcast Mode or Keyboard Mode

The AeroSwitch has two connection options: Broadcast mode and keyboard mode. The switch ships in broadcast mode.

Broadcast Mode

Keyboard Mode

Limited to scanning WITHIN

the communication software

(NuVoice, Empower, Chat software)

Able to run scanning both

WITHIN and OUTSIDE the

communication software.

Longer battery life (1-3 years,

depending on use)

Shorter battery life (2-3 months,

depending on use)—replace with

rechargeable batteries

If you have a choice between

broadcast and keyboard mode

AND want to stay strictly within

the communication software,

this is the better option.

If you have a device that’s not

compatible with broadcast mode

AND/OR want to use the switch

outside the communication

software, this is the better option.

AeroSwitch User’s Guide 5

Using the Rotary Dial

Use the 10-position rotary dial on the bottom of the AeroSwitch to change the switch mode. A small screwdriver is

included to adjust the rotary dial.

If a keyboard mode is selected, the switch essentially sends that specified keystroke (for

example, “one” or “enter”) to the communication device.

0-Broadcast

1-Broadcast

2-Broadcast

3-Keyboard = Space

4-Keyboard = Enter

5-Keyboard = One

6-Keyboard = Two

7-Keyboard = Tab

8-Keyboard = Left-click

9-Keyboard = Right-click

Important! After you change the switch mode, turn the AeroSwitch off and back on.

AeroSwitch User’s Guide 9

Cleaning and Disinfecting the AeroSwitch

To get the most from your AeroSwitch, keep it clean and disinfected. If the switch will only be used by one person,

routine cleaning and disinfecting should be sufficient. If, however, multiple persons will be using the switch, take

additional measures to clean and disinfect it after it has been used by one person before allowing it to be used by

someone else.

Routine Cleaning and Disinfecting

Wipe the AeroSwitch with a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water, and dry it with another soft, lint-

free cloth. Do not spray or splash liquid directly on the switch.

To disinfect the switch, moisten a clean cloth in a solution of 1/4 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water.

Disinfecting for Use by Multiple Persons

Note: This section applies only when multiple persons will be using the same AeroSwitch. Each time someone uses

the switch, it’s vital to effectively disinfect it before another person uses it.

First Step: Put on protective gloves

Next Step: Clean the AeroSwitch

1. Wipe down the switch with disinfectant wipes (Virucidal, Bactericidal, Pseudomonacidal, Tuberculocidal,

Fungicidal)—Metrex CaviWipes™. Follow the disinfectant product manufacturer’s instructions for

cleaning.

2. Take a Q-tip with cleaner applied (for example, Windex®cleaner or another commercial cleaner) and

clean inside all cracks and crevices. You may want to use a toothbrush or similar brush.

3. Blow the switch off with an air hose or wipe it dry.

Important! Make sure all soil is removed from the switch. This is vital before proceeding to disinfecting the

equipment.

Next Step: Disinfect the AeroSwitch

1. Wipe down the switch with a new disinfectant wipe (Virucidal, Bactericidal, Pseudomonacidal,

Tuberculocidal, Fungicidal)—Metrex CaviWipes. Follow the disinfectant product manufacturer’s

instructions for disinfecting.

2. Make sure to clean inside all cracks and crevices, and wipe more than once if necessary to keep the

switch wet for a minimum of three (3) minutes.

Final Step: Allow the AeroSwitch to Dry

AeroSwitch User’s Guide 10
