2.5.3 Inspire Headset Button Navigation
The Inspire headset has 4 buttons you can use to navigate different views
and settings. In addition, you can use voice commands to navigate view
and settings. If a menu is on screen and no button is pressed for 10
seconds, then the menu will close, and the user will be brought back to
the current view. If a horizontal adjustment bar is on screen and no
button is pressed for 10 seconds, then the currently selected value will be
applied, and the user will be brought back to the current view.
As referenced in Section 2.3.2, the Inspire headset has 4 buttons that you

application and adjust the different view settings, then the following

zoom out of the current view, or move a horizontal adjustment bar

zoom into the current view, or move a horizontal adjustment bar up
one level
Each view has a menu that can be activated with button 2. Once the
menu is on-screen, then you can use buttons 3 and 4 to navigate through
the different settings. You can use button 2 once the desired setting has
been highlighted to make changes to the given setting.
