Using the Settings Menu and Programming a Quick Key for Easy Access

Save Your Set-Up Settings

Depending on the MAP you are using, you may be asked to select from three already-created Settings choices as part of a set-up wizard.  If you want to change any of those choices, or if your MAP does not offer that option, use this menu.

The SETTINGS MENU in the Toolbox allows you to set up to 3 different groups of settings and then save the settings for each group under a key or an icon sequence.  The settings you select from the Toolbox menus with blue titles can be saved. 

 (The menus are: AUDITORY PROMPT, FEEDBACK, OUTPUT, ACCESS METHOD, SPEECH, and WORD PREDICTION).

For example, you may want to set up more than one access method in an Area.  Perhaps you use the Touch method in the morning when you are fresh, but like to use a switch in the afternoon or evening when you begin to tire.  You can save the settings for up to three different set-ups.

 

To Save Settings:

1.    Select the settings you want in the menus listed above.

2.   Open the SETTINGS MENU in the Toolbox. 

3.   Select a Save Settings key.  For example: Save #1 Settings.

4.  You see:  "Are you sure you want to save settings under #1?"

5.  Select YES or NO.

6.  Select OK.

When you want to use one of your settings, open the SETTINGS MENU and select the Use Settings key that you want.

Store the "Use Settings" Keys on your MAP

Depending on the MAP you are using, pre-stored Use Settings keys may be part of your set-up wizard. 

If they are not part of a Setup Wizard, you can copy your Use Settings keys and store them under keys or icon sequences on your MAP.  When you do this, you do not have to go to the Toolbox each time you want to change to different settings. You can also assign your settings to a specific key using one of the ASSIGN KEY menus.

To Program an Easy Link to a Use Settings Key:

1.      Navigate to the location where you would like to store the Use Settings Tool.

2.      Select the Tools key on the top of the case then Setup Key from the menu

3.      Choose the key you wish to program the key under.

4.      Select Spell Message or Define Key Function.

Settings 1, 2, and 3 tools

5.      Select Insert Tool.  Here you find many tools listed, select More Items until you find Settings 1, 2, or 3.  Select the Settings you wish to use. The Settings 1 tool is the same as the Use #1 Settings in the Settings Menu.  Select OK.

6.      Change Icon and Label so you know this key changes you to Settings 1.

7.      You may want to modify another key as Settings 2 or 3 if you are toggling between 2 different Settings options.  If so, Choose Next Key to Define then follow steps 3 – 6

8.      Select OK to exit.
