frame. The Ready light indicates the controller module’s operating states.
The following table shows the Ready light’s normal states. If the indicator’s behavior
doesn’t match a state listed here, refer to Troubleshooting Using the Ready Light
starting on page 57.

the USB cable or an optional expansion module’s

communicating with a computer.

can move the mouse pointer and perform
mouse functions by touching the interactive

Windows operating system you’re using.
Neither the Keyboard nor the Help button will
work.
