Doo-zy & how it works Doo-zy uses micro technology to operate external devices but how the switch pad reacts and interacts with the users and devices depends on how the built in programs and functions are set. Below is a schematic that may make it a little easier to understand.
Battery Replacement – See page 28. Charging Doo-zy is supplied with a world wide power supply charger. It can be used with a range of voltages from 110-240V. A range of four plugs are supplied for different areas of the world.
The select button is the most important button to remember as it allows access to almost all of the functions and sub menus of Doo-zy! When using the select button the LED display will inform you which menu you are in.

We have a special function that is not chosen with the select button, this is the LOC function. This locks all of the three buttons that are used at the rear of the Doo-zy. When locked none of the buttons will operate and LOC will be indicated in the display.

If you want to turn off the switch at any time press and hold the select for more than 3 seconds until shows in the display.
Note: Switch output is used to connect external devices such as toys. The Doo-zy uses internal pre-set programs to make the switch output perform complex or simple tasks that involve the recorded sound. These are changed in the menu. For more information go to page 17.
On initial start up the eye takes a few seconds to self test the internal electronics it also waits 5 seconds between triggers to stop repetition. Note: The eye will not operate the Doo-zy when in Direct, Latch and Opposite mode. Vibration function Vibration is used to give tactile feedback when the switch pad is pressed, it pulses to give maximum effect.

You will immediately hear the sound coming out of the Doo-zy speaker although the music will not be recorded. This is different to the way Doo-zy records with the built in microphone - you have 15 seconds to start recording before the record option is cancelled.
When the code is copied the display will show SET Now point the rear of the switch towards the device. Doo-zy will now control the ON function of the TV. You may wish to record a message that says TV when the switch is pressed.
Wireless Infrared transmitter function * For use with the optional IR receiver Doo-zy has a built-in infrared transmitter which can send switch output information to the optional IR receiver. The switch should have a clear line of sight to the receiver.

Switch output & programs We need to understand how the switch output works. We are only dealing with one of the two options at the moment and that is the 3.5 mm Jack socket output on the rear. We shall start by explaining how the in-built programs affect the switch output. The best way to do this is to have the switch nearby and connect a toy to the output jack socket and watch what happens! This is where you connect items such as...

Attachments & Mounting Positioning your switch In most cases the best position to use your switch is a flat surface. Doo-zy is fitted with non-slip rubber feet for maximum grip. Fitting the low profile pad For users with poor motor movement who may not be able to raise a hand sufficiently to operate the switch pad, a low profile pad clips to the front of the switch pad and lowers the pad to 10mm above a work surface and makes it easier to use.

Question - I have strange and not recognised image in the LED display and the switch is acting very strange? Answer - Doo-zy is a computer and can hang up or crash, this would be a good example. To correct this we would have to perform a hard reset or boot. On the underside of the Doo-zy we have a hard reset button.
