What are the Default Settings for the User Defined Keys at the Top of the ECO2?

Below you will find the Default Settings for the keys on the top of the ECO2 when using Unity.

Top Panel on the ECO2

There are eight recessed keys on the top front of the ECO case.  The six keys with numbers on them are user-defined keys.  This means that you can assign the tools that you want the keys to activate. 

 

 On/Off key  ON/OFF:  Turns the device ON or OFF.  If you turn the ECO off with this button, you must use it to turn the device back On.

 

 Tools Key TOOLBOX:  Takes you to the Toolbox where you can use the system menus.

 

Keys 1-6 are User Defined keys. They have been pre-programmed for you to perform some often-used functions.  You can re-program them to do whatever you wish. ÜKeys 3, 4 and 6 will work only if you have purchased the Computer option for the ECO.

 

Choose Activity key.  CHOOSE ACTIVITY:  Press this to toggle through your Activity Row.

 

 Set-Up key. SET-UP:  This key allows you customize vocabulary in your Pages and Activities.  

 

Keyboard Mode  ECO KEYBOARD MODE: This key allows you to see both the Windows desktop and the ECO software at the same time. This means you can use your overlay to interact with the Windows programs. Your keyboard minimizes halfway so you see half your overlay and half of the Windows environment.

 Scroll key SCROLL:  Use with internal computer. Select this key to scroll through your overlay when you are in Keyboard Mode, so you can access all your overlay keys.

 

 Right Mouse Click MOUSE-RIGHT-CLICK: Use with the internal computer. Select this key then select a key on your overlay. A small context-sensitive menu will pop up next to the overlay key you selected that will allow you to perform various functions such as Cut, Copy, Paste or use the Setup key. 

 

Maximize and Minimize ECO software  MAX/MIN MODE: Use with internal computer.  This maximizes and minimizes your communication overlay when you are in Keyboard Mode so you can see all of the Windows application you are using. ECO goes into the task bar.

To change a user-defined key:

Go to the Toolbox and select Assign Core Keys Menu.  Follow the prompts on the screen.  The user-defined keys are also accessible to scanners.  Scanning through them is an option that you can find in the Access Method Menu.
