Fitting the Battery

Remove the 3 screws from the underside of the unit and remove the base cover. Fit one 3V Coin Cell CR2032 battery, noting that the ‘+’ terminal goes uppermost (i.e. ‘+’ sign visible once installed). Replace the base cover and fix with the screws. If you are not intending to use your SWITCH 75 for an extended period of time, it is advisable to remove the battery to prevent leakage, which may damage the product.

Low Battery Indication

Your SWITCH 75 unit automatically checks the battery voltage each time it transmits data to the SimplyWorks receiver. If the battery voltage is found to be low, the middle segment of the LED display [A] flashes briefly. This is an indication that the battery should be changed soon, using the

Pairing with a USB Receiver

Before your SWITCH 75 can be used it must be paired with the SimplyWorks receiver that you require it to work with. If the receiver is a computer access such as RECEIVE, follow the instructions in this section. If, alternatively, the receiver is a stand-alone type (e.g. CONTROL or CONTROL PRO) then refer to the next section.

1. Place SWITCH 75 close to your RECEIVE
2. Briefly press the Pair button on the front panel of RECEIVE. The Pair LED will begin to flash slowly.
3. Within 10 seconds, press the Pair button on SWITCH 75 [P].
4. The Pair LED on RECEIVE will continue to flash for a short time while it negotiates with SWITCH 75. Once complete, the Pair LED will light steadily for 5 seconds to indicate success. The SWITCH 75 is then ready to use. Whenever data is successfully sent to RECEIVE its Pair LED flashes briefly to give a visual indication that the wireless link is operational.
5. If the Pair LED stops flashing after 30 seconds and does not light steadily, repeat the process from (2). If it is still not successful, please refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Pairing information is retained in SWITCH 75 internal memory even after changing the battery.

Operating with a USB Receiver (e.g. RECEIVE)

The function of each SWITCH 75 that you pair with a USB receiver can be selected using the Mode button and associated LED display on the underside of the unit. Press the Mode button (M) once and the LED display (A) will show the mode that is currently selected. Use Table 1 to look up the function from the number/letter displayed. The default Mode is 7 (Space). The modes that can be selected are a mix of button, mouse and keyboard functions. Simply select the mode according to your requirements. To change the mode press the Mode button repeatedly (or press and hold) while the display is lit. It first scrolls through 0-9 and then A-U and then back to 0.

The LED display is extinguished 4 seconds after the last press of the Mode button to conserve power and the unit begins sending data again. For example, if you are using a computer program that requires Space and Enter as access switches, pair two SWITCH 75’s with your RECEIVE, setting one to mode 7 (Space) and the other to mode 8 (Enter). Alternatively, if you need Left and Right Click, pair two SWITCH 75’s with your RECEIVE, setting one to mode 4 (Left Click) and the other to mode 5 (Right Click). Note: If the unit is set to Drag Lock (function 6), ensure the drag lock is off before moving to a different mode. The drag lock status is indicated by an LED on the receiver unit to which it is paired.

Pairing with a stand-alone Receiver

If the receiver you are Pairing SWITCH 75 with is a stand-alone type (for example a CONTROL LITE, CONTROL or CONTROL PRO) then follow these instructions:

1. Place SWITCH 75 close to your receiver unit.
2. Briefly press the Pair button on the front panel of the receiver. The Pair LED will begin to flash slowly. Note that some receivers have more than one Pair button – one for each channel. Make sure you press the one you need.
3. Within 10 seconds, press the Pair button on Switch 75 (P)
4. The Pair LED on the receiver will continue to flash for a short time while it negotiates with SWITCH 75. Once complete, the Pair LED will light steadily for 5 seconds to indicate success. SWITCH 75 is then ready to use. Whenever data is successfully sent to the receiver its Pair LED flashes briefly to give a visual indication that the wireless link is operational.
5. If the Pair LED stops flashing after 30 seconds and does not light steadily, repeat the process from (2). If it is still not successful, please refer to the Troubleshooting section. Pairing information is retained in SWITCH 75 internal memory even after changing the battery.

Manual Power-Off

Your SWITCH 125 automatically goes to sleep when not transmitting and wakes up whenever the switch is pressed. When being transported, this can lead to the switch being active when not intended. To avoid this situation, it may be powered down manually by pressing and holding the Pair button until all segments are lit on the display. When the Pair button is released the unit goes to sleep and will not wake up when the switch is pressed. To awaken it, press either of the Pair or Mode buttons. Normal operation then resumes.

Operating with a stand-alone Receiver

The function of a switch paired with a stand alone receiver is implicit and does not need to be programmed. It does not matter which Mode SWITCH 125 is set to, it will Simply Work!

Maintenance

Your SWITCH 125 has no user serviceable parts. If repair is necessary the unit should be returned to Pretorian Technologies or an authorised Distributor.
