The Hook+ Switch Interface is compatible with Switch Control found in iOS 7 or later.
To get started, simply connect one to four switches to Hook+, turn Switch Control on, and connect Hook+ to your iDevice.
Hook+ utilizes the Apple auto switch configurator and the first time Hook+ is used with an iDevice it will automatically configure the iDevice to use single switch auto scanning or dual switch step scanning based on how many switches are connected to Hook+. Once initially configured, switches can be manually re-configured to meet the needs of the user. The Apple auto switch configurator is only available on Apple MFi approved switch interfaces.
Once Hook+ is connected and Switch Control is configured, you can do almost anything on an iDevice with a switch. Read an eBook, write an email, browse the internet, play games, control your home, and much more!
NOTE: Hook+ is not compatible with apps that use keystrokes for switch clicks. Hook+ uses Apple’s proprietary HID Assistive Switch Control protocol for switch clicks and is compatible with Switch Control found in iOS 7 or later. To access Switch Control, go to the Settings App > General > Accessibility > Switch Control. Features:
Lightning connector provides a reliable wired connection
Utilizes Apple auto switch configurator
Hook+ does not have an internal battery and can be used as long as the iDevice has a battery charge
Connect one to four individual switches via 3.5-mm/1/8-in switch jacks. With iOS 9, you are able to program two unique commands per switch for a total of eight different switch commands.
Use the battery pass through on Hook+ to charge your iOS device while using Hook+
