Setting up and Using iOS Switch Scanning
As an alternative to directly choosing each button on the screen, single-switch and two-switch scanning
are available.
Enabling Scanning
Press the device's Home button. Then choose Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control. Turn
Switch Control on.
Defining the Switches
You can either use an external switch that is plugged into the edge of the device switch jack A or B or
you have the option to use the screen as a switch.
To use an external switch:
1. Plug the switch into the edge of the device. Use either jack A or B or both.
2. Choose Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control.
3. Choose Switches > Add New Switch > External.
4. Press the external switch.
5. Name the switch.
6. Choose the switch action to perform.
•
If you are using just one switch, choose Select Item.
If you are using a second switch, choose Add New Switch. For the switch action, you could
•
choose Move To Next Item.
•
If you need another option, you can use the screen as a switch.
After setting up your switch:
Press the device's Home button. Then choose Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control. Turn
Switch Control off and then back on.
Setting the Scanning Style
You can choose to have the system automatically scan or to step to each location. With step-scanning, a
switch must be pressed to move the scan to each button, one at a time. With auto-scanning, a switch
must be pressed to start the scan and the system will continue to scan until the switch is pressed again.
To set the scanning style, choose Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Scanning Style.
Three scanning styles are available: Auto Scanning, Manual Scanning, and Single Switch Step Scanning.
