occasionally, some devices may be overlooked. If

When using FlexiPanel, you may wish to turn off the

sound in order to suppress key-press tones, and

turn off the screen saver mode and increase the

backlight timeout to 60 seconds.

Interacting with User Interfaces. When you

connect to a computer or appliance, its controls are

displayed on the screen in a list. The exact nature

of these controls will be specified by the appliance

manufacturer and you should refer to their

documentation.

Once a connection is established, the controls will

be displayed in a list. The control selection may be

adjusted by using up-down presses on the central

control button. Pressing the button inward or using

left-right presses will have the following effects:

Pings. A ping is a harmless message sent to the

appliance to check that it is still in range. If the

computer has not received a reply by the time it is

due to send another ping message, it assumes the

appliance is out of range. Usually you would select

to ping quite frequently. However, if the appliance

is responding slowly for any reason, you may wish

to turn this option off to avoid undesired

disconnection.
