  • Page 23: Frequently Asked Questions

    Does the PageFlip Cicada work with all Windows and Mac software? The PageFlip Cicada dual pedal emulates a keyboard that emits two key presses. The function of those keys is determined by the five mode but- tons. Any software on a PC or Mac will be able to interpret these key presses, whether they were triggered by tapping the pedal or any com- puter keyboard.

No. PageFlip Cicada turns a page only when the user triggers it by tap- ping a pedal or activating an external switch. When is the Autorepeat mode appropriate? Turn on autorepeat if you are interested in fast browsing or scrolling.
  • Page 29 Why the name "Cicada"? The pedal derives its name from the cicada insect. The sleek design of the dual pedal is inspired by the graceful shape of the cicada wings.
