Lightwriter Manual (software V5.90 onwards) Currently used in: SL35, SL38, SL56, SL85, SL87, SL88, 35/Cherry, 35/BigKeys
ABOUT THIS MANUAL The InBrief and QuickRefs should be read BEFORE this Manual. The QuickRef refers to pages in this Manual. This Manual describes the Lightwriter hardware in general terms; see the QuickRef supplied with your machine for details about your model. This Manual describes the software in full; It explains how to deliver speeches, create tunes, configure the Lightwriter for special needs and so on. This Manual does not apply to models SL5 or SL55. It does apply to earlier V5 software-versions, with minor differences. The same software is used in all the models mentioned above; this Manual therefore applies to all those models. Scan users should start at Section 6. Statement of Intended Use - see Section 8. Decontamination - see Section 8. This Manual provides full details for advanced users and therapists or carers: it describes the Lightwriter in detail; it is designed for reference, NOT for everyday use. Do not expect to understand this Manual on its own. Have the Lightwriter in front of you, and try the things that you need to learn. This software contains a 'scanner' (which allows users without hand-control to operate the Lightwriter via a switch); where this Manual says 'press' a key, you can 'select' the same 'virtual-key' on the scan-screen, and the greater part of this book will apply (eg pressing the MEM-key or selecting * on the screen are the same). Scanning is dealt with in Section 6. Throughout the Manual, words written Like This refer to something on the Lightwriter. On the display, Ø is the number zero. The Table-of-Contents on the previous pages summarises what the Lightwriter can do. An Index to 'keywords' and to the various messages that may appear on the display is provided inside back cover.

GO!
• Lightwriter does not switch on at all? Is the battery charged? See page 75. • You can use the Lightwriter with the charger connected, if you wish. • Press On/C and type-it will speak each word when Space is pressed (if speech is fitted and the setup is Speak: Each Word). • Press Replay (bottom-right key). SETUPS
• These allow you to configure the machine to suit a wide variety of users- experiment, this is the best way to learn! • Watch the display while you do it, you can probably work out what's going on. • Press MEM Replay to enter the setup-system at the 'User level', and Shift Period to go to the 'Advanced level'; (there is also an 'Expert level', as you will see later, in Section 4). • At all levels, use Period, Space and Back-space to navigate the list, and + to change the current setup; press On/C to save-and-quit. M EMORIES
• Press MEM 1, or MEM H-there are 14 of these 'suggested' memories. • Type PLEASE COMB MY HAIR then MEM MEM H Y then Space then MEM H- you have replaced the original MEM H. • Type ADR=87 WATERBEACH RD then MEM MEM + Y then Space then ADR Space-this is another kind of memory, called "Abbreviation-expansion Memory". SHIFT
• Press Shift then 2 and 3-note that only the first key is shifted. • Press Shift Shift then 2, 3, and 4-note that all keys are shifted. • Press Shift again then 2-now it's un-shifted; watch the indicator at left end of the display. RESTORE
• To put the Lightwriter back to 'as new', press MEM MEM MEM L Ø then Y-this will re-load all the 'factory-setups'. PRIVACY
• To clear a private message. Press On/C then Space before the Lightwriter turns off. The old message is gone forever, there is no way for anyone to retrieve it.
Care of the Equipment • Do not drop-this is a delicate instrument. • Arrange a suitable mounting-system, if required. • Charge the battery overnight if in use, every month if not in use.
Cleaning • • • •
Use a damp cloth to clean; do not get water in the machine. Do not use solvents, especially on the displays. To clean the keyboard, see page 8. If you need to decontaminate the Lightwriter, see page 79.
THIS IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW TO START USING THE MACHINE EFFECTIVELY. WORK THROUGH THE REST OF THE MANUAL LATER, TO GET THE MOST OUT OF IT.

BACK-SPACE
• The two keys to the right of L can be altered to suit the country-see page 62. • Here is a description of the main keys-as will be explained later, combinations of these will produce other functions: ON/C
• This key turns the Lightwriter on-unless the battery is totally flat! • If the Lightwriter is already 'on', press it to clear the screen. • NEW IN V5.9 Use this mode with caution, it means that the last message reappears (and it might be rude!): You can have the Lightwriter wake up with the previous message. To do this, change the setup to Wake-up: Message, see page 45. In this mode, to clear the message, press the On/C key a second time.
• In either 'Wake-up' mode, to recall an accidentally-cleared message, press Replay after On/C (and no other key in between). OFF
• This key turns the machine off; if you have saved one or more new memories, the display will show Backing Up-the machine is making an automatic backup! (VF displays may not show this). • The machine turns itself off if unused-you can vary this time-out: for details, see section 4. • Hold the key down for 15 seconds to clear a 'jammed' condition, or other fault. • NEW IN V5.9: Using the 20 sec auto-off setting means that you may never have to press the Off key! SPACE
• Press Space to put a gap after a word-and to speak the last word, if speech is fitted. • If you would prefer the message not to be spoken when you press Space but only when you press Replay-for setup details, see section 4.
(Section1: BASICS)
7
BUZZ
• Press Buzz to sound the buzzer-to attract attention. • Press Shift then Buzz for a different 'level of urgency'. • Both sounds can be altered-for details, see page 60. SHIFT
• The Shift key accesses the symbols above the numbers; also UPPER-case letters if you are using lower-case-for details, see page 39. • Press ONCE: the next key only will be shifted. • Press TWICE and all subsequent keys will be shifted until the shift-mode is cancelled (by pressing the Shift key again)-watch the Display. Example Example
Press once then type + to produce 'minus' Press once then type 2345 to produce "345. Press twice then 2345 to produce "/=%.
• There are therefore 3 modes for shift; they are an integral part of the machine- familiarise yourself with how they work! Not shifted
The shift symbol does not appear on the display and pressing a number displays a number-and (if the machine is set for lower-case) a letter displays a lower-case letter, see LOWER CASE, page 39.
Shift once
The shift symbol appears on the display and the next key ONLY is shifted-and the shift-mode is then cancelled.
Shift lock
The shift-lock symbol appears on the display and all keys are shifted-and the shift-mode must be cancelled by pressing the shift-key a third time.
MEM
• Pressing MEM once means "recall a memory”-the status-symbol is • • • •
*
Pressing MEM twice means "save a memory"-for details, see page 22. Pressing MEM three times means "do something special"-for details, see page 44. Pressing MEM a 4th time means "cancel memory-mode". All modes will automatically cancel after a few seconds, and this time is adjustable-for setup details, see section 4.
REPLAY
• The Replay key replays the message; if you have typed more than 250 characters, it will replay the last 250-if you find the message starts in the middle of a word, this is why! • Replay will normally speak the message as fluidly as possible (if speech is fitted). • You can have the message scroll across the screen before it is spoken-see page 38. DELETE A WORD
• Press MEM followed by Back-space to delete the word before the cursor. REPEATING KEYS
• SPACE, BACK-SPACE, PERIOD, PLUS, MINUS, and EXCLAMATION MARK are repeating keys. • To adjust the Key repeat speed, see Section 4. ADJUST
• The keys can be set so they must be held down a while to make them operate; the apparent effect is that they are 'stiffer'-for details, see Section 4. • They can be set so they are ignored after having been operated once, to avoid ttttttttttthhhhhhiiiss ppppprobblem-for details, see Section 4.

(Section1: BASICS)
CLEANING
• THIS KEYBOARD WILL PERFORM BADLY IF EXPOSED TO FOOD, DRINK, ETC. • To dismantle: Remove the key-surround or keyguard with the screwdriver provided (work on a clear, flat surface). Remove the dirty keys. Wash the keys (leave them damp, the water will help them 'pop on'). Take care not to get water in the machine. Refit the keys; if the Lightwriter is 'on', this will give you confirmation of what each key does. Refit key-surround. NEVER OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS.
• If this is a frequent problem, fit a keyboard Glove, or a Raincoat which covers the entire Lightwriter. KEYGUARD
• Two green spacers are supplied, these raise the Key-surround to prevent more than one key being pressed at the same time. • To fit or remove: Slacken the 4 black screws with the screwdriver provided (work on a clear, flat surface). Raise the key-surround sufficiently to insert or remove the two green spacers. Refit key-surround. NEVER OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS. Fit them whenever it is important that the machine does not turn on in transit. When fitted, the keycaps may 'tilt' if the machine is knocked; press the keycaps down firmly at the corners when this happens, and after a little use they will 'seat themselves'.
• If this 'keyguarding' is insufficient, we offer a deeper one. QWERTY TO ABCDE
• To change the keyboard layout from QWERTY or ABCDE (or vice verca): • First, change the setup Keyboard: Press On/C to turn the Lightwriter on. With a clear screen, type the word EXPERT. Press MEM then Replay. The display show "Expert Setups". Press K repeatedly until the setup is 'Keyboard'. Press '+' repeatedly until the setup is 'Keyboard: ABCDE'. Press On/C.
• Next, move the keytops: Remove the key-surround or keyguard (work on a clear, flat surface). Wash the keys (leave them damp, the water will help them 'pop on'). Take care not to get water in the machine. Replace the keys in the new positions. If the Lightwriter is 'on', this will give you confirmation of what each key does. Refit key-surround. NEVER OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS.
• A screwdriver is available to remove the 4 screws, and this has both Posi 0 and Posi 1 blades to suit the different screwheads in use. • This will be sent to you free of charge if you quote the serial number of your Lightwriter.
(Section1: BASICS)

Displays • The symbols at the left end of the Displays are as follows for LCD: Symbol:Small square Symbol:Large square Symbol:Colon Symbol:Flashing arrow Symbol:Dot #
"Shift-once"-for details, see page 7. "Shift-lock"-for details, see page 7. "Symbols" mode-for details, see page 39. "On"; can be hidden-for details, see page 42. "Battery getting low"-charge when convenient. "2nd Conversation"-for details, see page 34.
• If the display is VFD, the differences are: Symbol:Solid square Symbol:Dot in a circle
“Shift-lock” “Low Battery”
• The (default) setup VFD:Automatic will combine maximum brightness with powersaving-you can also select Bright or Dim-for setup details, see Section 4. • To have your message appear on the User-Display only, turn the Lightwriter 'on' like this: On/C Shift On/C- this is called the 2nd-conversation mode, see page 34. If the machine is already 'on', press Shift On/C.

(Section1: BASICS)
Battery • When the low-battery symbol appears on the left side of the Display, it is time to charge the battery with the charger supplied-but there is plenty of power 'in reserve' if needed. • Charge the battery-overnight if in use, every three months if not in use. • The charger-socket is on the side of the machine-keep the battery charged! • The machine turns itself off if unused-you can vary this time-out to save power; for setup details, see Section 4. CAPACITY
• The time between charges depends on the displays fitted; to a lesser extent, machines with no speech will last longer: Both displays LCD 1 LCD, 1 VFD Both displays VFD
Approx 10 hours Approx 7 hours Approx 4 hours
• These figures are for CONTINUOUS use-often several days of normal use.
Charger • Charge overnight after use-regular charging prolongs battery-life. Use it with the charger plugged in, if you wish. • You may leave the Lightwriter on charge for several days without harm-take it off charge next morning if possible. • Use the charger supplied-other chargers are unsuitable. • A car charging-lead is available-this charges the Lightwriter from a car cigarettelighter socket. • If you plan to travel, the existing charger will work (with a suitable adaptor)- provided the supply is 200 - 250 volts (Europe, Australia, New Zealand, etc). • We can supply 2-pin adaptors, suitable for most of these countries-you can also buy a 'multi-plug' adaptor in many shops (eg Boots, or at the airport). • For USA/Canada or Japan where the voltage is lower, you cannot use the original charger-you can buy a charger for USA/Canada from us. For a fuller explanation, see: http://kropla.com/electric2.htm
• If you buy a charger yourself, it must have an output of 9VDC at least 800mA-and the jack-plug dimensions must be 5.5mm barrel, 2.1mm pin, and 12.0mm long. • If in doubt, check the voltage in the country you are going to; the frequency (cyclesper-second, or 'Hz') is immaterial. • The charger may become warm in normal use.
(Section1: BASICS)

Problems? • If the machine 'locks up' and the keyboard won't respond, press Off then On/C. • If the machine works but won't behave as expected, press MEM MEM MEM L Ø Y. • If this does not cure it, press Off and hold it down for 15 secs or more, then release: the machine should start up after a few seconds-note that your memories and setups will NOT be lost. • If the battery runs completely flat (for example if stored in a cupboard), connect the charger: then, after a few minutes, press Off and hold it down for 15 seconds or more, then release: the machine should start up after a few seconds-continue to charge for at least 15 hours. • For further help, see TROUBLESHOOTING, Section 7. THERAPISTS!
• A short 'confidence-building' session with the user will be helpful-emphasise the simplicity; some users may find the equipment daunting. • We appreciate that some users will be unable to read this Manual-we have designed the machine to be as simple as possible. • The user may therefore be relying on you for a summary-draw some simple diagrams, write a few notes and explain through conversation; use all three methods of communication so that the user can 'build a picture'. • The user may need a follow-up a few days or weeks later-check that settings are still appropriate. AIRCRAFT
• Airlines are becoming increasingly aware that electrical equipment used by passengers can interfere with the aircraft navigation system. Most airlines prohibit the use of mobile phones at all times during the flight because they can cause interference-phones are particularly problematic in this respect. • If you are advised by a stewardess not to use other electrical equipment such as portable computers, video recorders, or Walkmans during parts of the flight such as take-off or landing, you should also refrain from using the Lightwriter during these Periods. • Carry the Lightwriter as hand-luggage and not in a suitcase or bag; show airportsecurity staff how it works-this may make the security-check faster. • In any event, allow an extra 15 minutes in case there are problems. • The Lightwriter will not be affected by the security X-ray machines.

Help • The setups have their individual 'helps': press ? while in setups! • The setup AuditoryBrowse: On may be useful for beginners, as the MEM 5 list and all setups will be spoken. • The Lightwriter also has a built-in 'help' system-use this as a 'memory-jogger': Press MEM MEM MEM H to run the on-line 'help' system. Press 1 to 9 to go to the section you want. Press any key to pause (except the keys below). Press Replay to replay the section. Press Ø to return to the Index. Press P to print all sections-make sure that a printer is set up. Press On/C to leave the help-system.

Special needs AUDITORY BROWSE
• The setup AuditoryBrowse allows the user to have setups, functions and the Mem5 memory-list spoken automatically, at a volume controlled by Auditory vol. This setup is a good 'learning-aid'. • This happens anyway if you select Speak: Every Key or Speak: Announce. SEVERAL LIGHTWRITERS
• When there are several Lightwriters in a room, it can be difficult to tell who is speaking. • EuroTalk has 2 voices-Male and Female. • DECtalk has 9 voices and each machine could be set up with a different voice-but a class of children are all likely to want Kit, the child's voice. • There is a Pitch control, and this can be used for this purpose. KEYBOARD
• The keyboard can be changed from QWERTY to ABCDE-see page 8. • There are 3 setups to alter the response of the keyboard: Key touch, Key repeat and Tremor. • A plug-in EXPANDED KEYBOARD is available. TEACHING
• CHILDREN: with the Speak: Every key feature, each key is spoken as it is pressed, enabling children to associate the sound of a letter with its written-form. • All keys and functions will be spoken, including ON, OFF, setups and functions, at a volume controlled by Auditory Vol (use a low level, to make it distinct from the 'selections and words'). The MEM 5 memory-list will be spoken; press MEM to select, Space for next. • During typing, press Space between each word, but the word won't be spoken; press REPLAY to 'speak the message so far'. • Spelling: press Shift then Replay to spell the last word. • OLDER STUDENTS: there is an easy-to-use calculator. (Maths teachers note: In addition to add, subtract, multiply, divide, the Lightwriter can calculate percentages, powers, roots and exponents). • FOREIGN LANGUAGES: You can plug in one of our foreign-language units. • We have made the machine fun to use with a selection of ‘arcade-game’ sounds in an attempt to increase the child’s attention-span. • The user can compose jingles, melodies, etc; this has a serious aspect-some users (eg aphasics) have a strong residual memory for music, and this can help them to ‘associate’ with the Lightwriter. REMOTE SWITCHES
• Consider encouraging the user to start using the Lightwriter with the 2 Remoteswitches. This system allows you to program them to play Direct-Memories, replay, buzz, print and so on. • Use our Click-switches or 'Lolly' switches. PREDICTION SWITCHES
• A particular application for the Remote switches is 'Show next prediction' and 'Select this prediction'. • The setup is Remote switch 1: 40 and Remote switch 2: 17. • Switch 1 is now a + key ('show next prediction'), and Switch 2 is now Replay ('select this prediction'). • This does not work on scanners, because the switches are used for scanning.
(Section1: BASICS)

BLIND
• If the setup is Speak: Announce, each key is spoken as it is pressed, but it will not be entered onto the display until it is pressed a second time; this means that a blind user can 'fish about' and 'confirm'-for setup details, see page 42. • All keys and functions will be spoken, including On, Off, setups and functions, at a volume controlled by Auditory Vol (use a low level, to make it distinct from the 'selections, confirmations and words'). • The MEM 5 mem-list will be spoken automatically: again, the volume is controlled by Auditory vol-press Mem when you hear the memory you want. IN THE DARK
• A frequent need is to use the Lightwriter in the car at night-in this situation, the keyboard is unreadable. • As described above, set Speak: Announce, and Auditory Vol. LIMITED M OVEMENT
• A plug-in scanner is available, see our current literature. • All our scanners can be used by single-switch, with the option to fit a second switch which cancels the current operation and starts a fresh scan. • Alternatively, the two switches can be configured to a step-scanning system (MOVE and SELECT); this requires no timing accuracy, and this suits some disabilities. FACILITATED COMMUNICATION
• Therapists can record a user’s progress, using the macro feature; this is particularly useful in FACILITATED COMMUNICATION. • To start the recording, press MEM MEM Period Y then a key (eg: Z). • To replay the session on-screen, setup Mem speed: Medium and Volume: Off; then press MEM then the key; 'Back-spaces' will be replayed, allowing you to see how often the user has made mistakes. • To print it, set up a printer then press MEM 6 Z P Space Y, assuming you used Z. • For printer details-see page 35. • For macro details-see page 54.

(Section 2: MEMORY-SYSTEM)
SECTION 2: MEMORY-SYSTEM >> This section describes the Lightwriter's powerful memory-system • Many users will only need to use the memories at the simplest level, and these pages may be glanced through.
Overview • The memory-system consists of a single, generalised method of storing text or keystrokes; there are seven variations on this basic theme-and there are some 'suggested examples'; users are encouraged to replace the suggested examples to suit their individual needs. Direct-Memories
Allow you to store text in the format: Single-key=Expansion Words & Phrases are suggested examples.
Abbreviation-expansions
Allow you to store text in the format Abbreviation=Expansion or Expansion=Abbreviation
Speech-exceptions
Allow you to store text in the format !Word=Misspelling This enables you to pronounce 'special words' (names etc).
Musical-keys
Allow you to store tunes for the various system-functions such as 'ON'. There are 15 suggested examples.
Buzz
Allow you to replace any of the 5 'buzz' or 'alert' sounds with tunes. Unless replaced by a tune, these use a choice of sounds.
Tunes
Allow you to store tunes in the format Abbreviation=::nab..c+c^de...fg There are 5 suggested examples.
Macros
Allow you to record keystrokes and replay them with a few keys. MEM 6 to MEM Ø are suggested examples.
• • • •
This section describes Direct-memories and Abbreviation-expansions. 'Musical keys' and 'Buzz' are described in section 5. 'Tunes' and 'Macros' are described in section 5. ALL memories are automatically backed up, and restored if there is a problem-see page 24. • Longer memories may need an increased Auto-off setting, see page 45.
