3. PRODUCT INFORMATION AND USE AS PER REGULATIONS
IntegraMouse Plus is an electronic computer device made using the latest technology. It
complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Details of this can be found in Chapter 17
"Declaration of Conformity".
IntegraMouse Plus is a fully adequate computer mouse that is operated with the mouth. For
the operation of computer games, a joystick mode and a cursor mode are provided. This
allows persons who are no longer able to operate a traditional mouse to use a computer.
Possible users are persons with high-level paraplegia, with arms amputated on both sides or
advanced diseases such as muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or multiple
sclerosis.
IntegraMouse Plus is connected to the computer by a USB cable and is Plug-and-Play
capable, i.e. it is recognized and installed completely automatically as a Human Interface
Device (HID). Power is also supplied via the USB cable. Alternatively the IntegraMouse Plus
can communicate with the computer via a wireless radio link connection in the 2.4 GHz ISM
Band. With this option, the power is supplied from the inbuilt battery or the power pack
included.
IntegraMouse Plus is mainly designed to be used in dry rooms, in stationary settings on a PC
or laptop. These include living rooms, clinics, rehabilitation centres, institutes, schools,
universities and similar. However, usage in dry outside areas i.e. on patios, is also possible.
The ambient temperatures during application must be between 50°F and 104°F. Avoid direct
sunlight.
The placing and positioning of the IntegraMouse Plus must not be changed during use (tilt
etc.) Also, the IntegraMouse Plus must not be influenced by external forces (for example,
accelerations).
The mouthpiece can be changed. Cleaning is possible according to Chapter 9 "Hygiene,
maintenance and testing". In clinical areas, the one-time use of the mouthpiece is strongly
recommended. Through this, hygiene and cleanliness are guaranteed, also during use by
several users (for example in public institutions) or during use in clinics and rehabilitations
centres, where the risk of an infection by more resistant germs is present.

7. COMMISSIONING
7.1 Short introduction to initial operation
•Install the mounting system recommended by LifeTool or by your LifeTool dealer on
your desired workstation.
•Carefully place the mouthpiece and membrane on the IntegraMouse Plus.
•Position the IntegraMouse Plus on the stand. The bracket of the IntegraMouse Plus
has three openings for left, right and bottom mounting.
•Move the device into a working position which is balanced and comfortable for the
user.
•For initial use we recommend operation with the cable connected, in order to
guarantee the charging of the internal battery. For this, connect the IntegraMouse Plus
to your computer via the USB cable supplied.
•The IntegraMouse Plus switches on automatically and the calibration process is shown
through the running LEDs.
Do not move the IntegraMouse Plus during calibration!
•The operating system of your computer automatically recognizes and installs the
IntegraMouse Plus as a standard mouse.
•After the installation has been completed, the IntegraMouse Plus is ready for use.
Detailed instructions on initial operation and use can be found on the following pages.
7.2 General Installation notes
The IntegraMouse Plus and also the IM+Connect are "Plug and Play" capable and function
with standard USB drivers. This means that they are automatically recognized and installed
by common operating systems after being plugged in. The IntegraMouse Plus is thereby
automatically recognized as a standard mouse, standard joystick and keyboard.
The installation process usually runs in the background (dependant on the operating system).
Therefore the IntegraMouse Plus is ready to be used after only a short time.
During initial installation it takes a short time until the IntegraMouse Plus is
ready for use. When plugging in the IntegraMouse Plus to a computer that is
already known, the IntegraMouse Plus is ready for use straight away.

14
Installing the IntegraMouse Plus and components
Install the stand recommended by LifeTool or by your LifeTool dealer on your desired
workstation. The bracket of the IntegraMouse Plus has three openings for left, right and
bottom mounting. Secure the IntegraMouse Plus on the stand in the intended mounting place
with the locknut (Figure 7) and then bring the IntegraMouse Plus into the final desired
working position (Figure 6).
Do not use the IntegraMouse Plus on mobile or moving systems. Ensure that the
IntegraMouse Plus is positioned away from your face so that no hazards can
arise, e.g. by a third person bumping into you. Be careful where you place the
available cable.
In order to avoid collisions with the IntegraMouse Plus, ensure that the user first
of all assumes an ergonomic sitting and working position in front of the screen
and that the IntegraMouse Plus is only then brought into the mouth of the user
in a fatigue-proof working position.
Ensure that you have enough space in which to work and a good view of the
screen. Pay attention to your position in relation to sources of disturbance, e.g.
dazzling sunlight through windows. Lack of ergonomics can lead to eye pain,
headaches or muscle tension.
The IntegraMouse Plus can also be used in an inclined or lying position. It is
important that the calibration, e.g. after plugging in the USB cable, only occurs
after setting up the workstation. You can recalibrate the position at any time by
quickly pressing the ON/OFF button.

7.4 Calibration
Before use, the IntegraMouse Plus must be calibrated in its relevant location. As a rule, this
happens automatically directly after switching on and plugging in the IntegraMouse Plus.
Automatic calibration
Automatic calibration always occurs after plugging in and switching on the IntegraMouse
Plus.
Do not move the IntegraMouse Plus during the calibration process and do not
change its position or situation. This could lead to incorrect calibration and
therefore to malfunctioning of the IntegraMouse Plus and make recalibration
necessary.

17
Manual calibration
During long periods of work it can be necessary to begin a manual calibration, e.g. after
readjusting the device or weight changes in the mouthpiece due to the collection of moisture
or in strong changes in the light conditions (sunlight).
To begin manual calibration you have the following options:
By quickly pressing the ON/OFF button
By the following sipping/puffing combination: Puff for 3 seconds, sip for 3 seconds with max.
1 second pause in between.
The calibration occurs automatically for the selected mode and is displayed by running LEDs
on the IntegraMouse Plus.
Sipping/puffing combination for calibration by the user:
Puff for 3 seconds - Sip for 3 seconds
Maximum pause between both actions: 1 second
7.5 Using the IntegraMouse Plus silicon tube
If you prefer a softer surface on the mouthpiece, push the
silicon tube included over the mouthpiece opening, up to
the second groove, see Figure 8. Carry out calibration
after putting on the silicon tube. Check regularly whether
the silicon tube is still completely pressed on and correct
the position if need be.
Never use any other than the original silicon tube and always ensure that the
silicon tube is sitting securely on the mouthpiece. Only put the mouthpiece so
far into your mouth that you cannot extend your lips and teeth over the silicon
tube.
The silicon tube may only be used by persons that are not in danger of
swallowing such objects. Danger of suffocation!
The silicon tube must only be used in combination with the IntegraMouse Plus!
Figure 8:Correct placing of the
silicon tube.

18
8. APPLICATION AND FUNCTIONALITY
The IntegraMouse Plus is an input device for your computer. The input device works as a
standard computer mouse (mouse mode) or optionally as a joystick (joystick mode) or as a
keyboard (cursor mode). Movements of the mouthpiece by the mouth are captured by a
sensor. A small deflection of the mouthpiece is enough to cause the controller to respond. As
well as movement, sipping and puffing on the mouthpiece are also used for input (e.g. left
and right mouse click).
Only put the mouthpiece so far into your mouth that your teeth reach the groove
on the mouthpiece. If you have put the silicon tube on, ensure that it is seated
securely and only put the mouthpiece so far into your mouth that you cannot
extend your lips and teeth over the silicon tube.
8.1 Switching on the IntegraMouse Plus
The IntegraMouse Plus can be switched on in the following ways:
•Plug in the live USB cable or ensure a power supply via USB (switching on the
computer).
•Plug in the power pack and connect to the mains.
•Hold the ON/OFF button for at least 300 ms.
During switching on, the IntegraMouse Plus is calibrated; all LED displays light up one after
the other as running lights. The IntegraMouse Plus is then in mouse mode.
The IntegraMouse Plus must not be moved during calibration.
During the running light sequence you can also recognize possible defective
LEDs as these will not light up.
8.2 Three operating modes: Mouse – Joystick – Cursor
The active operation mode is shown by blue LEDs on the front of the IntegraMouse Plus (see
table 1). The display LED for joystick mode is marked with "J"; the one for cursor mode with
"C". If one of the two LEDs is lit, the relevant mode is active. If neither of the LEDs is
switched on, the mouse mode is active.

Table 1: Diagram of the operating modes
After plugging in and activating, the IntegraMouse Plus is automatically in
mouse mode.
Mouse mode (mouse function)
Small movements of the mouthpiece cause the mouse pointer on the screen to move
correspondingly. In the same way as a normal computer mouse it can be moved across the
screen in a continuous and dynamic way, from very slowly to very quickly and placed
accurately to the pixel. To steer the mouse pointer, place the mouthpiece between your lips
and press it with lip movements in the desired direction in which the mouse pointer should
move across the screen.
The mouse buttons are activated by sipping and puffing. In the standard configuration the left
mouse button is activated by short sipping on the mouthpiece opening and the right button is
activated by short puffing on the mouthpiece opening.
Two short sips equate to a double click of the left mouse button. A short sip and holding the
air in the mouthpiece enables objects to be moved across the screen ("drag & drop").
The characteristics of the mouse pointer, e.g. the speed, can be set individually
in the respective operating system. The assignments of left and right clicks can
also be changed there. For more information: see the help function of your
operating system.
If it is not possible for the user to activate the mouse clicks by sipping and
puffing, the clicks can be executed through additional auto-click software. Your
LifeTool dealer would be glad to advise you about this.
In some cases, other, external sensors can also be used. Your LifeTool dealer
would be happy to advise you about the choice of suitable sensors and switch
interfaces.

20
Joystick mode (joystick configuration)
The joystick mode enables the operation of computer games, which can be played using a
Windows standard joystick with two buttons. The movement of the mouthpiece effects the
analogue deflection of the joystick. Movements can be carried out dynamically from slowly
(small displacement) to quickly (larger displacement). Sipping and puffing correspond to the
joystick keys 1 and 2. Activated joystick mode is indicated by the lighting-up of the
corresponding blue LED.
The basic calibration and further settings of the joystick can be carried out
individually in the settings menu of the respective operating system. For more
information, see the help function of your operating system.
Many games enable the adaptation of controls and the configuration of the keys
for operation. For this, use the instructions with your game.
Cursor mode (keyboard function)
Cursor mode enables the operation of computer games and programs that can be controlled
with the cursor keys (arrow keys), the space key and the enter key. The four/eight directions
are actuated by the movement of the mouthpiece. The space key and the enter key are
available through sipping and puffing. Activated cursor mode is indicated by the lighting-up of
the associated blue LED.
Many games enable the adaptation of controls and the configuration of the keys
for operation. For this, use the instructions for your game.
In order to operate a complete keyboard, e.g. in order to enter letters or whole
texts, to compose e-mails, and so on, the operating system of your computer
usually makes an on-screen keyboard available. Your LifeTool dealer will be
glad to advise you on more powerful on-screen keyboards that are available at
cost (with additional setting options).
