Connect an External Switch

You can use an external switch as a click method or additional actions with the eye gaze and Hiru.

Fun fact: You can use two click methods simultaneously. You can dwell to click once, and next time time use the switch!

How to connect: 

1. Check if your Bluetooth Switch is compatible with your iPad.

2. Turn on Bluetooth on the iPad

Go to Settings > Bluetooth > toggle ON

3. Turn on your switch.

4. The first time connecting you will likely need to pair the device. In that case, press the Pair button on your switch and click on the name of your switch in the Bluetooth section of the iPad settings.

4. Ensure that the switch is connected

Settings > Bluetooth > Name of your switch > says Connected

5. Select the action that you wish the switch to perform

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Assistive Touch (make sure it is toggle ON) > Devices > Name of your switch > Customize additional buttons > At this moment physically click on your switch to select which switch should be customized > select your preferred action from the drop-down menu

Recommendation: If you have a double switch, select  Single-Tap as the first action and Open Menu as an action of the other switch. 
This is very useful for Early Stage users who tend to open the menu by mistake. Caregiver can control the Assistive touch menu by hand.
