The function of a switch paired with a stand alone receiver is implicit and
does not need to be programmed. It does not matter which Mode
SWITCH 75 is set to, it will Simply Work!

Your SWITCH 75 has no user serviceable parts. If repair is necessary
the unit should be returned to Pretorian Technologies or an
authorised Distributor.
Maintenance

Remove the 3 screws from the underside of the unit and remove the base cover. Fit
one 3V Coin Cell CR2032 battery, noting that the ‘+’ terminal goes uppermost (i.e.
‘+’ sign visible once installed). Replace the base cover and fix with the screws.
If you are not intending to use your SWITCH 75 for an extended period of time, it
is advisable to remove the battery to prevent leakage, which may damage the product.
Your SWITCH 75 unit automatically checks the battery voltage each time it
transmits data to the SimplyWorks receiver. If the battery voltage is found to be
low, the middle segment of the LED display [A] flashes briefly. This is an indication
that the battery should be changed soon, using the procedure described above.
Fitting the Battery
Low Battery Indication
The function of each SWITCH 75 that you pair with
a USB receiver can be selected using the Mode
button and associated LED display on the
underside of the unit. Press the Mode button (M)
once and the LED display (A) will show the mode
that is currently selected. Use Table 1 to look up
the function from the number/letter displayed.
The default Mode is 7 (Space). Note: Information is
retained in SWITCH 75’s internal memory even
after changing the battery.
The modes that can be selected are a mix of button,
mouse and keyboard functions. Simply select the
mode according to your requirements.
To change the mode press the Mode button
repeatedly (or press and hold) while the display is
lit. It first scrolls through 0-9 and then A-U and
then back to 0.
The LED display is extinguished 4 seconds after
the last press of the Mode button to conserve power.
For example, if you are using a computer program
that requires Space and Enter as access switches,
pair two SWITCH 75’s with your RECEIVE, setting one
to mode 7 (Space) and the other to mode 8 (Enter).
Alternatively, if you need Left and Right Click, pair
two SWITCH 75’s with your RECEIVE, setting one
to mode 4 (Left Click) and the other to mode 5
(Right Click).
Operating with a USB Receiver (e.g. RECEIVE)
If the receiver you are Pairing SWITCH 75 with is
a stand-alone type (for example a CONTROL LITE,
CONTROL or CONTROL PRO) then follow these
instructions:
1 Place SWITCH 75 close to your receiver unit.
2 Briefly press the Pair button on the front
panel of the receiver. The Pair LED will begin
to flash slowly. Note that some receivers have
more than one Pair button - one for each
channel. Make sure you press the one you
need.
3 Within 10 seconds, press the Pair button on
Switch 75 (P)
4 The Pair LED on the receiver will continue to
flash for a short time while it negotiates with
SWITCH 75. Once complete, the Pair LED
will light steadily for 5 seconds to indicate
success. SWITCH 75 is then ready to use.
Whenever data is successfully sent to the
receiver its Pair LED flashes briefly to give a
visual indication that the wireless link is
operational.
5 If the Pair LED stops flashing after 30
seconds and does not light steadily, repeat
the process from (2). If it is still not successful,
please refer to theTroubleshooting section.
Pairing information is retained in SWITCH 75
internal memory even after changing the battery.
