To turn the setting on or off, select the Activate on Release toggle switch.
Dwell Time
This setting controls the delay before a button press is recognized in case a user needs to slide across multiple buttons before pressing the intended button.
When the user touches a button, a slight dimming and a white square box identify the chosen button. As long as the user continues to keep his or her finger inside the button area, the dwell timer counts down. Once the time is reached, the button press is accepted. To set a dwell time, select Dwell Time and select a value from 0.1 Seconds to 5.0 Seconds.
Release Time
Release time applies to buttons and to the SDB.
Buttons: Release time is intended to help prevent accidental double button activations. When the time is set, all buttons are disabled for the specified period of time after a button is activated.
SDB: Release time is intended to prevent accidental speaking of words displayed in the SDB twice. When the time is set, the SDB is disabled for the specified period of time after the user selects the SDB to speak the words displayed. The Release Time setting does not affect the SDB Clear button (X).
To set a release time, select Release Time and select a value from 0.1 Seconds to 5.0 Seconds.
