ZyBox 2-SC for iOS 7, 8 and 9

iOS Switch Input Adapters

For iOS tablet users who cannot easily access using the touch screen, Switch Control is an accessibility feature that provides access to almost every function in iOS 7, iOS 8, and the new iOS 9 through the use of one or multiple switches. The ZyBox 2-SC for iOS is the switch interface to let you take advantage of these new features. Connect the ZyBox 2-SC to your iPad using the 30-pin or a Lightning connector, snap in one, two, or three switches with 3.5mm plugs, and you have access to the entire iPad.

When the ZyBox 2-SC is plugged into your iOS device, it will power up as indicated by the LED and automatically recognize the interface. You must set up and define switch actions the first time you use Switch Control on each iOS device. But once set up you simply plug in the ZyBox 2-SC, plug in your switch or switches, and away you go.

Since you plug the 30-pin and Lightning connectors to the ZyBox 2-SC directly to the docking connector of the iOS device, the Bluetooth connection is still available to do other things, like connect to a Bluetooth speaker, a keyboard, or to a mobile phone. It also means that the ZyBox 2-SC pulls very little power, unlike Bluetooth connected devices, so you will continue to enjoy long battery life.

To set up the Switch Control on your iOS device, go into Settings, move to the General tab, choose Accessibility, go into Switch Control, and turn Switch Control to the On position. You can also adjust timings and other characteristics of the scan method.

Features of the ZyBox 2-SC (for use on iOS version 7 and later):

• 30-pin dock connector to iOS devices like the iPad 2
• Lightning to 30-pin adapter available for newer models of iOS device
• Three 3.5mm mono jacks for external control switch inputs
• Automatic detection of switch interface
• No additional software is required; set up Switch Control and switch actions first time only
• Bright LED indicator to show power On status of ZyBox adapter
• Powered from the iOS device; no internal power required

When a user selects an item while using Switch Control, a pop-up menu appears that offers a number of advanced functions. If a user selects Scroll, Gestures, Device, or Settings from this menu, a second menu of options appears that are more advanced actions or settings for Switch Control. This provides an even greater level of control while switch scanning.
