Hable One How to use

Hable One Starting Guide for Android
Welcome to the Hable One starting guide! The Hable One is a controller that allows you to
navigate and type on your mobile phone. Through TalkBack you get feedback while using the
Hable One. With the help of this guide, you will be able to use the controller quickly. The
starting guide explains how to hold, set up and use the Hable One.
Preparation:
Inside the box you will find the Hable One controller and USB C charging cable. The Hable
One controller is around the same size as the iPhone 6, but a little thicker in size for better
grip. The controller has 2 sides, the button side and the flat side. The Hable One has a matt
black finishing, the middle 6 buttons have a white finishing. Together, this gives the
controller a futuristic and modern look.

Step 1: Holding the controller securely
1. While using the Hable One you keep the controller in the air with both of your hands,
do not put it on a table or desk.
2. Make sure the on/off slider aims towards the ceiling. The flat back should face you,
this way the buttons should automatically face away from you.
3. Keep the controller fixed with both hands. You do this by wrapping your hands
around the smaller sides of the Hable One. If you do this correctly your fingers will
automatically fall on the middle six buttons. Note that you will press the buttons
towards yourself.
4. From now on, each button will be referenced with numbers. The six small buttons
are numbered like a braille cell.
5. The three buttons on your left hand are numbered 1, 2 and 3, where button 1 is the
closest to the on/ off slider and button 3 is the furthest away.
6. The three buttons on your right hand are numbered 4, 5 and 6, where button 4 is the
closest to the on/ off slider and button 6 is the furthest away.
7. Place your left index, middle and ring finger on button 1, 2 and 3.
8. Place your right index, middle and ring finger on button 4, 5 and 6.
9. There are two more buttons, the function keys. On the left side of your left index
finger, you find button 7. On the right side of your right index finger, you find button
8.
10. You can also move your left index finger to button 7 and your right index finger to
button 8.
