What are the User Define Keys and How Do I Use Them on my Vantage/Vanguard?
On the Vantage 2 and Vanguard 2/Plus units there are 2 USER DEFINED Keys on the top of your Case.
The key next to the Toolbox key is programmed for you as the CHOOSE ACTIVITY key, which return your activities to their original state, exiting the activity you currently are in.
The last key is programmed as the SET-UP key. You may re-program the keys with whatever commands or tools you wish.
Using the SET-UP Tool
The SET-UP Tool makes modifying Activities, Pages and vocabulary easier. Using the SET-UP Tool means that you don't have to go to the Toolbox and open various menus each time you want to make a change to an icon or Activity or Page, etc.
*Note: In some devices, this was already done for you at the factory.
To Assign a Tool to the User Define Key:
1. Go to the Toolbox. Activate the ASSIGN CORE KEYS.
2. Activate the SET-UP key on the top of the case. If the SETUP-KEY is already programmed, you will receive a yellow message box telling what the current assignment is. If it already is assigned as Set-Up, Select NO. If it is assigned as something else and you would like to change it, select YES.
3a. You may receive a screen asking you Choose the tool you wish to insert. Select More Items at the bottom of the display until you see SETUP KEY then select it. Next select OK to exit.
*If you did not see the screen in 3a. Please follow the instructions for 3b.
3b. a. Activate the Tool key in the Assign Key As box.
b. Activate the Enter Assignment key.
c. Activate INSERT TOOL on the Spelling overlay.
d. Now you see the ALL TOOLS LIST. Select More Items at the bottom of the display until you see SETUP KEY then select it.
e. You return to the Spelling keyboard. Next select OK to exit.
f. Activate OK to exit.
Using the SET-UP key for Programming:
1. Go to your vocabulary overlay.
2. Select the SET-UP key
3. Select the key on your overlay you want to modify.
4. Modify it.
5. Select SET-UP key again and then select another key to modify.
If you have an older device that does not have User Define Keys on the top, the Toolbox also contains a SET-UP key. Whether you are using your overlay, an Activity or a Page, you can activate the key on the front of the case, then activate the SETUP key in the Toolbox. The device will take you back to where you were and ask you to select a key to modify.
The SET-UP Tool works with Core vocabulary, Activities, Pages—any menu where you are allowed to assign, store or modify keys.
