What Access Methods are Available in the Vantage Lite?
An access method (or selection technique) is how you will control your device. You can select Touch, Headpointing, 1-Switch, 2-Switch, and Joystick. Any Joystick other than a USB joystick takes an adapter.
Access Methods and their options are in the ACCESS METHOD MENU 
in the Toolbox.
Warning! All access methods require a positioning analysis to prevent repetitive stress injuries.
The Access Methods
Touch:
You must be able to touch the keys on the screen to activate them.
You make direct selections on the keyboard by pressing on the keys you want with your finger (or with the eraser end of a pencil or some “point and press” device). You can use Touch with any screen.
Note: The touch screen is hard plastic. Be careful not to scratch it with your pointing device.
1-Switch
Use a single switch to scan to any key on the screen. Choose to scan by rows and columns or by columns and rows. Plug a single switch into either the SWITCH A or SWITCH B jack on your device.
You can also use the PRC Bluetooth Switch for 2-switch scanning. See the directions that came with your Bluetooth Switch.
2 Switch
Use a dual switch or two single switches to scan left, right, up and down to any key on the keyboard. Plug a dual switch or two single switches into either switch connector on the device.
You can also use the PRC Bluetooth Switch for 2-switch scanning. See the directions that came with your Bluetooth Switch.
Headpointing/Joystick
Headpointer
If you want to use an external USB headpointer with the Vantage Lite. Plug the external headpointer into the USB connector on the right side of the device case.
Joystick (USB or must have an adapter)
Note: You can use a USB joystick with the Vantage Lite. Plug it into the USB port on the side of the Vantage Lite case. If you have a regular joystick, you must have an adapter for it. If you have a 4 position joystick, may also need to plug a switch into the adapter so you can make selections.
