For HouseMate it can be set to 1 minute, 5 mins and Never. See the Hardware Settings chapter for further details on this and other hardware options.
User Manual 2 December 2011 Homepage The ClickToPhone homepage is the starting point for your all your interactions with your Android smartphone. The ClickToPhone homepage is essentially a list of applications that you can select and subsequently control using the ClickToPhone soft keyboards or soft keys. Which applications are listed in the homepage will vary greatly from user to user and depend principally upon the user level setting but also some other preferences.
User Manual December 2011 The table below shows you which applications are available for each of the four user level settings. Choose the user level that suits your particular abilities and interests. You can always change the user level at a later stage as you become used to ClickToPhone and add more complexity.

User Manual December 2011 3 Basic Operation & Scanning Methods ClickToPhone is designed primarily for switch users and is intended to be operated by one, two or five (joystick) suitable external switches using different scanning techniques. How you operate ClickToPhone will depend principally on the scanning method but also some other settings that have been chosen.
User Manual December 2011 3.1.1 Automatic Scanning Automatic scanning is the most common type of scanning and involves just one switch. Once the ClickToPhone or HouseMate hardware connects to your phone press your switch once to start scanning and then press it a second time to make a selection. If you are scanning a keyboard with more than one row then the rows are scanned one by one first. When you make a selection the current row is selected and the individual keys of the row are then scanned.
User Manual December 2011 Switch scanning is easier to understand. It does, however, require that you target two separate switches. 3.1.4 Two Switch (Advanced) Two Switch Advanced scanning is an advancement on Two switch scanning and attempts to simulate joystick deflections. It is a cross between Two switch scanning and full Joystick scanning. In Two Switch Advanced scanning Switch 1 is used as a Down switch. Switch 2 is used as a Right switch.
User Manual December 2011 The joystick switch outputs, usually on a 9 pin D connector, connect to the 5 switch input of ClickToPhone or HouseMate+ hardware using an interface cable and may vary depending on the make of your powered wheelchair. For a suitable interface cable contact technical@click2go.ie or your ClickToPhone agent for ordering information. You can also connect a standard switched joystick to ClickToPhone such as a TASH mini joystick or a Piko Button switch.
User Manual December 2011 3.2.2 Scanning Duration The scanning duration is how long automatic scanning persists for before stopping. If you set the HouseMate hardware setting Powerdown Time to Never then you need to also specify a maximum scanning duration otherwise the scanning will continue indefinitely until you make a selection. 3.2.3 Acceptance Time The acceptance time is the length of time an external switch or joystick deflection must be held for before it is recognised and acted upon.
User Manual December 2011 3.2.4 Scanning Beeps You can disable the beeps when scanning. This option also disables the notification sounds you get when you connect or disconnect with the hardware. 3.2.5 Touch Screen Filter If you are using Direct access or Tap the screen it is common to accidentally press the screen more than once thereby causing two or more letters to be typed rather than just the one you wanted.
User Manual December 2011 Scanning Duration The length of time to keep scanning in Automatic Scanning, Note that, regardless of this preference, the scanning will stop if the hardware disconnects. Acceptance Time The length of time that an external switch must be held for before it is recognised as a switch press. This helps to avoid accidental switch presses and double hits. Scanning Beeps Enable auditory beeps when scanning and making selections.
