Turning QuickMediaTM on for one Device/Level does not make changes to the other three Devices/Levels. The
QuickMediaTM settings are saved in memory.
Note that function 22 (in Table 1) allows any socket to be set to change the QuickMediaTM setting, although if it
is to be used, it is strongly recommended to use socket 4 as this becomes QuickMediaTM on/off in QuickMediaTM
mode, allowing the user to go in and out of QuickMediaTM mode using a single switch.
Switching from Device to Device (or Level to Level)
If you have your APPlicator Max set to Multiple
Device use-case, you will need to be able to select
between devices. This may be achieved in two ways:
Next Device/ Level Socket [P] is used solely to move
from device to device (or Level to Level). Note that
it will only move between slots that are occupied, so
for example if you have three devices on slots 1, 2
and 3, APPlicator Max will omit slot 4. Only a brief
press is required to move from device to device.
Alternatively, you may congure any one of the
other sockets [A] to move between devices on a long
press. Only one switch can be set this way and by
default none of them are set to do this. To congure
this feature, press and hold the Down button [G]
until the display shows ‘nd’ (Next Device). If none
of the channel LEDs [B] light at the same time, this
indicates that none of the sockets are currently set
for this feature.
If you wish to set a socket for this feature, press the
Mode Down button repeatedly until the channel LED
adjacent to the socket in question lights. When you
are happy with the setting, simply allow the display
to extinguish and the setting will become current
and will be saved in memory.
Note that just like the Device/ Level Switching
Socket, a long press on the chosen switch will
only move between slots that are occupied, so for
example if you have three devices on slots 1, 2 and
3, slot 4 will not be selected and APPlicator Max will
instead return to slot 1. Also note that the Device/
Level Switching Socket works simultaneously
with an extended press setting but if not required,
simply refrain from plugging a switch into it.
Irrespective of which switch is used to move from
device to device, a beep is emitted as an audible
indication of the change, with the beep for device
slot 1 being of a higher tone than the others, which
is useful when APPlicator Max is out of sight.
If, on the other hand, APPlicator Max is set to Single
Device, Multiple Levels use-case (1d), the Device/
Level Switching Socket and/or a long press on
the chosen switch moves from Level to Level, the
display showing L1, L2, L3 or L4 to indicate the new
Level. In all other respects, operation is the same.
Landing back at Level 1 causes the unit to beep with
a higher tone to give an audible indication when it is
out of sight.
Buon Lock
To prevent unintentional/ unauthorised changes to APPlicator Max settings, the unit may be locked so that
button presses have no effect. To Lock the unit, press and hold Up and Down [F, G] together. The display will
show ‘L’. To Unlock, press and hold Up and Down again until the display shows ‘U’. When locked, you can still
view all the settings but any attempt to change them will bring up the ‘L’ symbol.
This feature is useful when APPlicator Max is set up before rst use by a therapist, carer or family member
and then left with the user, who might otherwise make changes which would prevent correct operation.
Mouse functions
APPlicator Max includes mouse functions Left Click, Right Click, Double Click and Drag as well as cursor
movement settings and swipe functions.. Although these will prove useful on devices such as PCs, Macs and
Chromebooks, Left and Right Click have been included principally in support of eye-gaze devices on iPad,
whichcannotbeusedatthesametimeasiOSSwitchControlsinceAssistiveTouchandSwitchControlcannot
be engaged simultaneously. Instead, setting a switch to Left Click allows navigation using eye-gaze and
selection using a switch, which for some users is a very efcient way of working. iPadOS15 and above support
eye-gaze devices.
Users who have difculty in releasing switches may benet from turning on Single-Shot mode on channels
set to Left Click or Right Click (see below for more details). Double-click is self-terminating so doesn’t
benet from single-shot mode.
