What is the Vibe-Lite switch?
Vibe-Lite Switch has been developed for users with special
needs which may encompass and be used with some
equipment in the assistive technology eld. Its strong
construction makes it durable, long lasting and easy to use.
• Vibe-Lite is a switch with hidden features. It has an electronic
circuit that allows it to control external equipment or switch
adapted toys.
• Vibe-Lite has three in-built programs that are recognised as
the rst stage in the learning process of cause and eect.
• Vibe-Lite has in-built vibration which is great for tactile
feedback and an illuminated switch pad for visual feedback.
Connect to your favourite toy and choose which program to use
Momentary, Latch or Timed. Then decide if you want to turn on
the vibration or lights.

Connecting switch adapted toys
Most toys will work with the Vibe-Lite as long as they have a
3.5 mm jack socket tted. If your toy is tted with a 6.3 mm jack
socket (1/4 inch) you will need to purchase a jack adapter.
Technical: Vibe-Lite uses an internal volt free N/O (Normally
Open) relay to control toys and equipment. This makes it more
exible to use with all types of toys and equipment.
