Installation
Ensure your computer is fully turned on and booted up. Locate a spare USB socket on your
computer and plug in Simple Switch Interface. The unit will be recognised automatically and the
relevant drivers loaded. The computer usually tells you when installation is complete, depending
upon the operating system you have installed. Simple Switch Interface is now ready for use.
Mode Setting
The following table determines the mode of each socket:
To change the mode setting, simply press the small button on the base of the unit (A in Figure 1).
The number of beeps emitted by the buzzer indicates the new setting, according to Table 1.
The new setting is stored in the unit’s memory and is recalled whenever the unit is powered up.
Simple Switch Interface is compatible with all PC and Mac platforms fitted with a USB socket.
It cannot be connected to a PS/2 socket even with an adaptor plug since Simple Switch Interface
