How do I Use the Internal Tracker in my Pathfinder Plus?
Pathfinder uses Madentec's Tracker™ technology for headpointing. The Tracker is already built into the device. If you purchase the headpointing option, the only "headpointer" you will need is the reflective dot that came with your device. You stick this small dot on your forehead, on the bridge of your glasses or any moveable location on your body where the headpointing sensor on the front of the case can see it.
As you look at the keys you want the headpointer to activate, you must keep the reflective dot within a 30-35 degree angle of the sensor. You should be seated within a 1-3 foot range of your device.
To Change the SELECTION TECHNIQUE Settings to Headpointing:
1. Go to the TOOLBOX.
2. Open the SELECTION TECHNIQUE MENU
3. Select Headpointing for your selection technique.
4. Select More Items to go to the next set of headpointing options. Make sure the Internal Tracker option is set to ON.
When everything is working correctly, an LED inside the infrared window (the dark, oblong window) on the top front of the case will light up. If the LED does not light, make sure your head, or whatever part of your body you attached the reflective dot to, is within the 30-35 degree range of the sensor. Also make sure you are seated neither too far away from, nor too close to your Pathfinder. Move the dot around and up and down until you see a hand appear on the touchscreen and the LED in the infrared window stays on.
Once the headpointer is working correctly, go back to the SELECTION TECHNIQUE MENU and select the headpointing options you want to use. Please see your Pathfinder Basics manual for detailed information on Headpointing settings.
Note: If want to use an external headpointer, not the internal Tracker, turn the Internal Tracker option to OFF.
