Product Description

The Simply Works (SW) system allows the freedom to create wire-free, single, or multi-user learning environments, reducing set up time and allowing you and your students to concentrate on learning activities.

Ideal for use with groups or in the classroom to ensure that everyone can join in. For the first time, you can have switches, joysticks, rollerballs and toy control devices that “simply work” together, and without wires. The Simply Works system is a family of wireless receivers and associated access devices. With a range of 32 feet (10 meters), these can work from anywhere in the classroom and do not require direct line-of-sight – ideal for including everyone in an interactive lesson.

Up to six separate input devices can be used at one time, using a single receiver. Each device connects wirelessly – no wires from your devices to the computer. The devices are easy to set up, pair and use.

Uses 2.4GHz global, license-free ISM radio band to provide state-of-the-art radio link with an interference free operating range exceeding 32 feet. Compatible with PC (Windows 7 and 8 including 64-bit) and MAC (including Mac OS X 10.9). No additional drivers required.

Product Use
Product Use/Directions The Simply Works concept opens up a wealth of scenarios. Because the six channels may be occupied by any mix of Simply Works transmitters, the possibilities are virtually endless. For example, you may choose to have a single-user scenario where a Joystick, Keyboard, and Switch are paired with the Receiver. Another scenario could be a Joystick and Rollerball being used simultaneously to allow users with different abilities to access the same computer. Alternatively, a multi-user scenario may comprise 6 Keyboards or 6 Rollerballs to be connected, allowing several work groups to access an interactive whiteboard.
Tips
Tips To optimize the range of the wireless link, it is recommended to not place the unit behind the computer, close to large metal objects or sources of interference such as wireless network hubs, cell phones, etc.

A maximum of 6 transmitting devices can be paired with the Receiver (any mix of devices). If you attempt to pair a seventh transmitter unit, the transmitter unit that has been used least recently will be replaced by the new one. The other five transmitters are unaffected. That way, transmitters that are no longer being used are the first to be replaced.
