How do I Use the Internal Tracker in my Vantage/Vanguard?

Headpointing for the Vantage and Vanguard II uses Madentec's Tracker™ technology and is already integrated 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.

Go to the TOOLBOX, open the SELECTION TECHNIQUE MENU, and select Headpointing for your selection technique. Make sure the Internal Tracker option is set to ON.

On the Vanguard:  When everything is working correctly, on the Vanguard II, the LED inside the small picture of the head on the front of the case will light up.

On the Vantage: an LED inside the oblong window on the top front of the case will light up.

If the LED does not light on either device, make sure your head, or whatever part of your body you used for the reflective dot, 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 the Vantage or Vanguard II. Move the dot around and up and down until you see a hand appear on the touchscreen and the LED stays on.

Once the headpointer is working correctly, go back to the SELECTION TECHNIQUE MENU and fine tune the headpointing features you want to use.

NOTE:  If want to use an external headpointer, not the internal Tracker, turn the Internal Tracker option to OFF on the SELECTION TECHNIQUE MENU.
