Page 5: Introduction
The battery powered Beam transfers the state of up to three normally-open switches directly to the HeadMouse® Extreme or Swifty™. The Beam is an infrared device, but it doesn’t require a clear optical path to the HeadMouse or Swifty. The light can bounce off the ceiling, walls and even the user. - Page 6 Beam has three 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) microphone jacks and accepts commonly available adaptive switches. A photograph of the Beam rear panel and a stereo microphone plug are shown in the Figure 1. Mono and stereo plugs can be used in any jack; however, only the J1 socket has the capability to monitor the second button of a dual switch.

For all jacks switch common is the Sleeve. - Page 9 Note: By default the Beam automatically determines whether a stereo or mono plug has been inserted in J1. However, there may be times after moving plugs between jacks and changing between mono and stereo plugs that the Beam will temporarily be confused. During these times the Beam may transmit a continuous right button for up to 30-seconds.
