Create automatic return to pre-set level Control Prog can be set to always return to a special pre-set level when several levels are open. This pre-set level can for instance be functions for making telephone calls, or other functions you use often and want to reach quickly.
Scanning Control It is possible to connect external scanning control switches to enable control of 241 functions via a single switch. Settings can be programmed such as different scanning methods, scanning speed, scanning start, number of scanning repetitions, turbo scanning and scanning blink. It is even possible to create an individual scanning method. 1-5 control switches or joystick can be connected depending on scanning method. Read the section below for a description.

When needed, adjust the speed of the mouse pointer under Settings/Control Panel/Mouse/Motion in Win XP 3. Check that NumLock on the keyboard is not activated. 4.
Other computer control With Control Prog it is possible to wirelessly control all functions on an ordinary computer keyboard. On level 10 some ordinary functions have been programmed but it is also possible to download optional functions to any level or place. To have access to this function Control Prog must be connected to a computer and the software Gewa Control Tool must be installed (included on a CD). Connect a data cable (art no 425618) to the data output (fig.
Connection to Relay Output Control Prog has two relay outputs and each give a relay closure when the coded key is pressed. A radio transmitter for instance can be connected. The relay adapter is connected to the Control Prog data terminal (fig. 6). Each time the coded key is pressed the relay functions are activated in parallel. Phone plug 3.
Labelling As standard the keys are marked with figures. The labelling can be replaced by personal design. On the enclosed CD there is a Word document with templates and picture to create a personal labelling. The label is printed on overhead or white paper and put into the slit on Control Prog. Before the marking label is attached the keyguard must be removed. A plastic leg at each corner holds the keyguard. Put a knife blade between the keyguard and Control Prog.
