Compatibility
The it-Switch is compatible with any Simply Works receiver.
These include:
• it-Receive - for connection to a computer.
• it-Control, it-Control Lite and it-Control Pro - for connection
to battery toys or mains power adaptors.
Batteries
The it-Switch requires 2 x AAA batteries. These are tted by
removing the screw from the battery compartment and then the
cover on the underside of the it-Switch. Ensure the batteries are
inserted correctly - match the + and – symbols on the battery with
those in the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover and
screw. It is recommended that good quality batteries are used
(such as Energiser or Duracell).
The it-Switch has an automatic power saving mode to prevent
the batteries running down. If you are not intending to use the
it-Switch for an extended period (e.g. a number of weeks) it is
advisable to remove the batteries to prevent leakage, which may
damage the device.

Pairing it-Switch with it-Receive (for computer
connection)
1. Ensure the it-Receive is connected to your computer.
2. Place the it-Switch close to the it-Receive (within 1 metre).
3. Press and release the PAIR button on the front of the it-
Receive. The red light next to it will begin ashing.
4. Within 10 seconds press and release the PAIR button on the
it-Switch.
5. The light on the it-Receive will continue to ash while the
devices communicate with each other.
6. Once the pairing is successful the red light on the it-Receive
will stay on for 5 seconds.
7. If the light continues to ash for 30 seconds and then stops,
repeat the process above. If it still does not pair successfully,
refer to the Troubleshooting section.
8. If pairing two it-Switches, repeat the process above for the
second switch.
Pairing information is retained in the it-Switch’s memory even
after changing the batteries.
Operation with it-Receive
To enable the it-Switch to interact with software on the computer,
the correct mode will need to be selected. The mode is selected
by pressing the MODE button on the underside of the it-Switch.
The mode is shown on the display as a number (0-9) or letter
(A-H). The table overleaf shows the function for each mode.
Repeated pressing of the MODE button will cycle through 0-9
then A-H, then back to 0.

A single press of the MODE button will display the current mode.
To nd the mode you require, refer to the manual for the software
you are using. For example the function needed for using one
switch with Inclusive Technology software is Space (Mode 7). If
you were using two switches with Inclusive Technology software
you would set one to Space (Mode 7) and one to Enter (Mode 8).
