Using the Bluetooth Adapter with the SpringBoard Lite.
IMPORTANT: Before you plug the Bluetooth adapter into your computer:
Notice that the adapter has a PRC label on one side and a label with an icon of a white circle switch and an arrow pointing down on the other side. The switch label covers a small switch called the "pair button". You will have to press this white switch during the set-up process. Depending on where the USB ports are on your computer, it may be difficult to reach the circle and also reach your device. You may want to ask someone to help you.
Setting Up:
1. Plug the Bluetooth wireless adapter into the USB port on your computer. Remember
where the white circle switch is on the adapter. The LED on the adapter may flash for a
moment when you plug it in.
2. On your SpringBoard Lite, go to the Toolbox and open the OUTPUT MENU.
3. Set Output to ON.
4. Set Output Method to Bluetooth.
5. Press the Pair with BT Adapter option.
6. You will see a yellow box telling you to press the Pair button on the adapter. Press the white circle label on the Bluetooth adapter.
7. The LED on the adapter will begin to blink. When you see a solid blue light, the adapter has paired with your SpringBoard and computer. This can take up to 20-30 seconds.
8. Exit the OUTPUT MENU and go to your spelling overlay.
9. Open a word document or an application you can type into.
10. Begin typing on your spelling overlay. Your information should appear on your
computer screen.
Note: It does not matter in what order you perform steps 6 and 7. You can press the white circle first, then press the Pair option in the OUTPUT MENU or vice-versa.
Once your adapter is paired with your computer, it should always be paired. You can remove it from your computer and the next time you plug it in, the LED should turn red and it should be ready to go as long as your OUTPUT MENU is set correctly.
Note: The Bluetooth wireless adapter has a wide range. Your SpringBoard Lite and the adapter do not have to "see" each other to work.
