How do I Switch User Areas and Load a New Overlay in my Vantage/Vanguard?
To Switch User Areas:1. Go to the Toolbox screen by pressing the button with the picture of the hammer and screwdriver on it on the front of the Vantage/Vanguard case: .
2. When you see the Toolbox screen, press the key labeled CHOOSE OVERLAY MENU.
3. The user area you are currently using will be listed in the text area at the top. If you just want a different User Area with a default overlay in it, activate the Switch User Area option.
4. Select the Area you want to switch to. You can now use this new Area with the overlay that was already loaded into it.
If you want to load a different overlay into a particualr Area, select a user area where you have not stored valuable custom vocabulary; or select an Area that contains vocabulary that you know you won't be using. In the next step you will load a new overlay into that Area.
To load a different overlay for a User Area:
IMPORTANT! If you wish to keep any of your custom vocabulary in a particular User Area, make sure you switch user areas before loading a new overlay from the Overlay Menu into that User Area. All vocabulary that is stored in the User Area you are currently in will be lost when the new overlay is installed!
You can also perform a Memory Transfer to save a particular Area before loading a new overlay into it.
5. Activate the Overlay Menu option.
6. Select the overlay you want to load into the User Area you selected in step #4. Blank overlays in the Overlay Menu option do not contain pre-stored vocabulary.
7. A warning mssage will now appear that says, "Are you sure you want to erase everything?" If you want to load the new overlay, select YES. If you decide you don't want to load the overlay, select NO.
8. Activate OK when you are finished. Now Go To Minspeak to view your new overlay or you can start adding custom programming if you wish.
