Setup and User Guide

The Assistive Mouse Adapter AMAneo BTi allows people who cannot
operate a touch screen to operate an iPad and iPhone with any assistive
or ergonomic mouse. A touch pointer can be moved like a mouse pointer
within the touch screen. For people with a hand tremor, the operation of
an iPad and iPhone is easier, also people who may have previously not
been able to operate an iPad or iPhone at all, are now able to.
AMAneo BTi connects assistive and ergonomic mice via Bluetooth with
iPad or iPhone and electronically lters the shaking of the hand or head
if necessary, so that the touch pointer on the display still moves smoothly.
The intensity of the tremor lter can be adjusted.
Additionally, an adjustable click delay (the touch pointer is held at the
current position corresponding to the click) and a dwell click function can
be activated.

small USB micro-plug with the
connector (1).

Once connected and
a mouse is plugged
into AMAneo BTi, the
touch pointer appears
on the iOS device.
See AssistiveTouch for more
information.
You do not need an App for the
AMAneo BTi. All functions are
immediately available when
connected to the iPad or iPhone.
Touch Pointer and AssistiveTouch Functions
When connecting AMAneo BTi to the iOS device, AssistiveTouch operation
is automatically activated and a moving touch pointer is displayed. This
touch pointer is moved like a mouse pointer.
6www.inclusive.co.uk/amaneo-bti

All hardware switches or other
system features of the iOS device,
as well as gestures, can be used
directly via the AssistiveTouch
menu.
With a click of the right mouse
button or the external button on
the “Menu” connection (10), the
AssistiveTouch menu opens. With
another click it is closed again.
Simply move
the touch
pointer
within the
AssistiveTouch
menu and
trigger
corresponding actions by clicking
on it.
If no right mouse button can be used, the AssistiveTouch menu on the iOS
device is under; Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch
This can also be switched on permanently and clicked directly with the
touch pointer. In these settings, the basic speed of the touch pointer and
the transparency of the AssistiveTouch menu can be set.
Pressing the left mouse button or
the external button on the “Touch”
connection (8) simulates the
tapping of the touch screen.
This will allow you to navigate to
any App or menu item like you
would use your nger to operate
the touch screen.

There are 3 buttons on top of the
housing. You can switch between
the various setting modes (as
described below) with the
selection key (7) , the plus key (5)
and the minus key (4) are used to
modify the respective adjustment
option.
Status LED (6) if the green LED
ashes/lights up, the AMAneo BTi
operates normally (working mode).
Assistive Settings
Tremor (anti-tremor lter)
Press selection key (7) briey once
(shorter than 2 seconds) the LED
(6) changes to blue.
Now you can set the tremor
lter with the plus key (5) and
minus key (4) from light to strong
ltering, as is shown on the green
bar graph (6) in 10 stages.
No bars in the bar graph means no
ltering, 10 LEDs in the bar graph
means the strongest ltering
effect. To return to working mode,
press the selection key (7) 3 more
times until the LED (6) ashes/
lights up green again.
Dwell click (click timer)
Press selection key (7) 3 times
(shorter than 2 seconds) the LED
(6) changes to yellow. Now you
can adjust dwell click by pressing
the plus key (5) or minus key (4).
No bars on the bar graph means
no dwell click. The dwell click
function releases the left mouse
button automatically, if the mouse
remains or is held for a certain
time on the same point. To return
to working mode, press the
selection key (7) ‘once more’ until
the LED (6) ashes/lights green
again.
The range in which you can move
to trigger a dwell click can be set
with the click delay function. See
the Click delay section for more
information.

Click delay (button delay)
Press the selection key (7) briey
two times (shorter than 2 seconds)
and the LED (6) changes to red.
Now you can adjust the delay of
the mouse buttons by pressing
plus key (5) or minus key (4).
The mouse buttons react
only after a certain time according
to the display in the green bar
graph (3). No bars in the bar graph
means no delay.
To return to working mode,
press the selection key (7) 2 more
times until the LED (6) ashes/
lights green again. If you want to
use the click delay for the mouse
buttons, make sure that the auto-
click function is set to zero (no
green bars in the bar graph (3).
If the dwell click function is
activated, i.e. is not at zero, the
click delay has another function.
In that case the tolerance for the
dwell click function is set with the
click delay (i.e. the range in which
one can move to trigger a dwell
click). For a good function usually 2
(2 of 10 stages) sufces.
Function off
Press the selection key (7) longer
than 2 seconds (shorter than 4
seconds) and the LED (6) ashes
white and all lters and delays
are switched off (normal mouse
mode).
In order to restart the functions,
press the selection key again for
longer than 2 seconds until the
LED (6) ashes/lights green again.
If you press the selection key (7)
for longer than 4 seconds, AMAneo
BTi is completely switched off.
In order to switch the device
on again, the selection key (7)
must be pressed again until the
bar graph display (3) lights up
completely.
