How do I Use the Internal Tracker in my Springboard?
Summary: Headpointing is an optional accessory. Headpointing for the Springboard uses Madentec's Tracker™ technology which 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.
To Set the SpringBoard to Headpointing Mode:
1. Select the TOOLS key on the front of the case.
2. In the Toolbox, choose the SELECTION TECHNIQUE MENU.
3. Change the Selection Technique option so it reads Headpointing.
4. Select the Internal Tracker to ON.
5. Select OK to exit the menu.
When everything is working correctly, the LED inside the small picture of the head on the front of the case will light up. If the LED does not light, 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 Springboard.
Once the headpointer is working correctly, go to the SELECTION TECHNIQUE MENU and select the options you want to use. Make sure the Internal Tracker option is set to ON.
You can read about other headpointing options in the Selection Technique Options part of your SpringBoard manual.
NOTE: If you want to use an external headpointer, not the internal Tracker, turn the Internal Tracker option to OFF in the SELECTION TECHNIQUE MENU.
