Have tons of fun while promoting eye tracking and developing
switch access skills. The brightly colored balls move upward on a
cushion of air when you activate and hold your switch. Create
hundreds of different games. For example, put marks on the tube
at various heights and give points for reaching each mark.
Includes six colored ping pong balls. Size: 7 ¾ "L x 7 ¾ "W x
34"H. Requires 2 AA Batteries and included AC wall transformer
included. Weight: 2 ¼ lbs.
peration:
. Tube Tracker requires 2 AA batteries (Not included). Use
alkaline batteries only (e.g. Duracell or Energizer brand). Do
not use rechargeable batteries or any other type of batteries
because they supply lower voltage and the unit will not
perform properly. Never mix old and new batteries together or
different brands or types together.
2. The battery compartment is located on the bottom of the base
unit. To remove the battery compartment cover, unscrew the
small Phillips Head screw from the compartment, then slide
the covers back and off. Install new batteries, being careful to
observe proper (+) & (-) battery polarity. Replace cover and
screw.
3. Plug the Tube Tracker’s AC wall transformer into a 20 Volt
wall outlet. Next connect the Tube Tracker to any external
capability switch via the /8" jack, also located on the side of
the unit. If you need to use a ¼ " to /8 " adapter for your
switch, it must be a mono adapter, not stereo like our item
# 70.
4. Make sure that the connections between the external
capability switch and the jack on the Tube Tracker is plugged
in all the way. There should be no gaps.
5. Load only one or two supplied balls into the Tube Tracker at
once (See photos on back of guide). The top Vinyl cap on the
tube is removable. Replace the Vinyl cap when finished
loading the balls. Begin play by activating your external
capability switch. The brightly colored balls move upward on a
cushion of air when you activate and hold your switch. Once
you release your switch the balls will fall back down the tube.
Troubleshooting:
Problem: The Tube Tracker does not work.
Action #1: Do not put more than two balls at a time in the Tube
Tracker.
Action #2: Check or replace the 2 AA batteries with fresh new
batteries. Never mix different brands or old and new batteries.
Action #3: Make sure the AC wall outlet you are using is
working. Try another outlet you know works if not sure.
Action #4: Make sure the Tube Tracker is on a flat level surface
and that nothing is restricting any of the balls. Use only the balls
included with Tube Tracker, other balls will not work with this
product.
Action #5: Try a different switch that you know works with other
toys/devices to rule out the Tube Tracker as the source of the
problem.
Care of Unit:
The Tube Tracker can be wiped clean with any household multi-
purpose cleaner and disinfectant.
Do not submerge the unit, as it will damage the contents and the
electrical components.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will scratch the surface
of the unit.
