Now with intention!
We’ve added an intention adjustment to our popular latch timer Jumbo Switch. Great for
those with uncontrolled movements or tremors. This feature requires the user to hold
the switch for a specific amount of time (1-15 seconds before the device is triggered.
Once the intention time is set, you can select momentary, latch or timed output (0-120
seconds . Mounting plate is removable. Includes two free clear covers for placing your
icons: one with a lip and one without. Size: 5"D x ½"H. Requires 1 9-Volt Battery.
Weight: 1 lb.

Intention Mode:Intention Mode:
Intention Mode: allows the user to activate the device as in the Standard Mode above
only after pressing the switch for a preset amount of time. The intention time can be
adjusted from a fraction of a second to 15 seconds. The time is adjusted by rotating the
small knob on the side of the unit. Note that this knob is the same knob used to adjust
time when the Jumbo Switch is set for Time function. Therefore, if you will use the
Jumbo Switch Time function when in Intention Mode, you must first set the time in
Standard Mode before switching to Intention Mode. The Jumbo Switch will "remember"
the time setting indefinitely until the Time is readjusted in Standard Mode.
Switching to Intention Mode:

Switching to Intention Mode:
1. Connect the Jumbo Switch and device as detailed above. Make sure the Jumbo
Switch is off for approximately 10 seconds. Failure to wait 10 seconds may prevent
the Jumbo Switch from switching in and out of Standard and Intention Mode.
2. Press the Jumbo Switch before turning it ON and keep it pressed. Then, turn ON
Jumbo Switch. Continue to keep the Jumbo Switch pressed for 5 seconds. The
Jumbo Switch should now be in Intention Mode.
3. Set the Time/Momentary/Latch Switch to the function you wish to use.
4. Adjust the knob to adjust Intention Time. This is the amount of time needed for the
capability switch to be constantly pushed before the device will activate. Rotating
the knob fully clockwise will allow the device to activate immediately, while full
counterclockwise will take a full 15 seconds before the device will activate. The
Momentary/Latch/Time functions are as outlined in the Standard Mode
instructions above.
