1.0 WHAT IS THE JOUSE3?
The Jouse3 is the third generation of a modified joystick. It acts as an alternative pointing device
and control unit for computers, tablets, and other electronic devices. The mouthpiece and sip/puff
tube are attached to a joystick, which, in turn, is attached to an arm and desk mount. By deflecting
the joystick you can navigate the cursor on the screen. By sipping and/or puffing, you can make
selections from menus and drag objects from one place to another on the display screen. See
examples below:
• Sip for a right mouse click.
• Puff for a left mouse click.
• Double puff for a double left mouse click.
Figure 1-1: The Jouse3
The Jouse3 also provides other specialized features that can be enabled if desired, such as a dwell
cursor and the ability to control external switch-enabled devices. These features can be configured
according to an individual user’s preferences, or they can be turned off to prevent inadvertent
activation.
The Jouse3 consists of a high-quality mounting arm with a sturdy desk mount, a joystick with a
mouthpiece and sip/puff tube attached, a variable friction arm and a control unit, which houses all
the Jouse3 electronics. The unit is USB-based and requires no external power or installation of any
software and/or custom drivers on the host device. Simply connect the Jouse3 device to a computer
or tablet using the USB cable to activate it. The Jouse3 acts like a standard USB mouse to control
computers running Microsoft Windows, MacOS, Linux or Unix, tablets running Android OS, and
augmentative devices that support a USB mouse. By changing a DIP switch, the Jouse3 can also
act like a USB keyboard to control iOS devices such as the iPad and iPad Mini.

Note: Some tablets require a USB adapter.
Summary of Jouse3 features include:
• provides 100% compatible, full mouse emulation;
• Jouse3 has been fully tested for USB compatibility on Windows, MacOS, Linux,
Unix, Android, and iOS. It will work with any operating system that supports
USB-based devices;
• self-calibrating for center position at start-up;
• allows adjustment of the sip/puff sensitivity;
• provides a user-selectable dwell cursor for left, right and double-clicks with
adjustable delay from 1 second to 2.5 seconds (in four stages);
• timing parameters for sips and puffs in iOS mode are user-defined;
• provides two standard 1/8 inch connectors for switch inputs, which can be used
as alternatives to sip/puff input and provides the capability to turn sip and/or puff
inputs off completely; and,
• provides two standard 1/8 inch connectors for External Switch Control, which
can be used to control external switch-enabled devices.
In addition to the above features, Jouse3 provides a stable platform for computer access. Unlike
some systems, which must be physically attached to the operator, Jouse3 is mounted to the desktop.
The control unit is placed on the desktop near the Jouse3. Cables connect the control unit to the
computer and to the Jouse3. The person operating the Jouse3 has the freedom to come and go at
will. Alternatively, the Jouse3 can be mounted to a wheelchair using an optional Super Clamp
mount.
The mounting arm allows the joystick to be positioned exactly where it is needed and to be fixed
in place. The variable friction mounting arm is standard equipment with the Jouse3.
Note: The Jouse3 is not intended for use in critical control applications where failure might
cause physical injury or harm.
Note: Many different electronic devices can produce radio frequency (RF) interference
which could potentially cause the Jouse3 to operate incorrectly. Although the Jouse3
is fully CE certified and shielded to reduce the possibility of this occurring, devices
that produce RF energy, such as mobile phones, should be kept out of direct contact
with the Jouse3.

2.0 GETTING STARTED
Setting up the Jouse3 only takes a couple of minutes and requires no tools. There is no software to
install on the host device and no power supply is required. Simply clamp the mounting arm to an
appropriate surface, adjust settings as required, and plug in to activate. The following sections
describe these procedures in more detail.
2.1 Unpacking the Jouse3
Remove the Jouse3 components from the carton. These include:
• electronics unit;
• arm assembly; and,
• accessory pack which includes:
• USB cable;
• bag of assorted puff tubes;
• spare air filter assembly; and,
• two spare air tube fittings.
The Jouse3 arm is folded over on itself. To unfold it, loosen the large knob on the side of the arm
and lift up on the upper part of the arm until it’s approximately 90 degrees. Tighten the large knob
to make the arm rigid.
Remove the plastic that is covering the joystick assembly. This is attached with a warning tag.
To protect during shipping, the air filter assembly has been disconnected from the joystick module.
Reconnect the air filter by screwing it onto the white connector on the bottom of the joystick
module.

2.2 Attach the Jouse3 Arm to Your Desktop
There is a desk clamp at the bottom of the Jouse3 arm. Place this over the edge of the work surface
as seen in Figure 2-1. Tighten the clamp by turning the swivel screw clockwise.
Optionally, the Jouse3 can be ordered with a Super Clamp base instead of the desk mount. When
equipped with a super clamp, the Jouse 3 can be attached to a desk or a the frame of a wheelchair.
Figure 2-1: Jouse3 Desk Mount
2.3 Adjust the Jouse3 Arm
Adjust the arm to position it correctly for the person using it by doing the following:
1. Loosen the knob on the side of the arm by turning counter-clockwise. This
loosens all three joints of the arm at once.
2. Position the joystick, mouthpiece and sip/puff tube in a position that allows
the user to move their lips slightly to enclose the puff tube.
3. When correctly positioned, tighten the knob by turning it clockwise.
4. Optionally, there is a six-inch extension arm available to optimally position
the puff tube for the user. Information about adding an extension is provided
in Appendix B - ADDING AN EXTENSION TO THE JOYSTICK
MOUNTING ARM.

2.4 Insert the Puff Tube into the Mouthpiece
There are two styles of puff tubes included with the Jouse3, white disposable puff tubes and black
cigarette style puff tubes, as shown in Figure 2-3. There are two lengths of each style. The choice
of mouthpiece is dependent on the user’s preference. The longer puff tubes give more leverage,
which reduces the amount of force required to move the joystick. On the other hand, the shorter
puff tubes allows the cursor to be moved with a smaller head movement.
Screw in one of the cigarette style threaded puff tubes or insert one of the disposable puff tubes into
the end of the mouthpiece of the Jouse3. If the puff tube does not fit tightly into the mouthpiece,
discard it and replace it with a new one.

2.5 Connecting the Cables
There are two cables that must be connected on the Jouse3. One cable connects between the
joystick/mouthpiece and the Jouse3 control unit and the second cable, the USB cable, connects
between the Jouse3 and the host device.
Note: There is no ON/OFF switch on the Jouse3. It receives its power from the USB cable
when this cable is plugged into the host device. Connecting this cable activates the
Jouse3.
Both cables connect to the back of the Jouse3 control unit. These connections are labelled as shown
in Figure 2-4

Figure 2-4: Jouse3 Connector Endplate
1. Connect the beige cable from the joystick to the connector labelled Joystick.
2. Connect one end of the USB cable to the host device and connect the other
end to the connector labelled USB.
When making the cable connections, a number of points should be noted.
1. When the USB cable connection is made, the Jouse3 unit will turn on
because it receives its power from the USB port on the host device. At this
time, the two indicator LEDs on the front of the control unit will flash in
sequence with a combination of tones (see Section 6.1). The Jouse3 is then
enumerating with the host device. If both LEDs turn off, the Jouse3 is ready
to use.
2. Before connecting the Jouse3 controller to the host device via the USB cable,
ensure that the joystick is not deflected away from the center position. The
joystick should not be moved at this time and the cable should not be
deflecting the joystick. The Jouse3 will calibrate itself based on the position
of the joystick when it enumerates. If the joystick is NOT in the center
position, the unit may not operate properly.
3. After connecting the cables, you may want to anchor them to the swing-away
arm so they are out of the way. Adjust the velcro straps that are on the Jouse3
arm to do so. Ensure that the cables have enough “play”, so that the Jouse3
mounting arm can be adjusted into any position without straining the cables.
The cables should be neatly strapped to the arm, but not pulled tight.
Straining the cables may damage them.
