How to Use a Blue2 Bluetooth Switch for Scanning

July 27, 2016

Your Tobii Dynavox T10 supports both autoscan (the software will automatically scan the page - you select the scanning speed, scan pattern, and number of passes) and two-switch scanning (Switch 1 advances the scan, and Switch 2 makes the selection).

To set up your T10 for scanning, you must set up a Bluetooth wireless connection ("pair") your T10 to the switch. Following are instructions for pairing your T10 to a Blue2 Bluetooth Switch for scanning.

1. Turn off your T10, then turn it back on.

Note: It is important to make sure that the Tobii Dynavox App is completely closed before pairing your T10 and the switch.
