1.2 About Ihandle

The Ihandle control system allows you to control a range of electronic devices using your finger. By moving an activation

unit over the surface of the Ihandle handpiece, you can control Windows-based computers and tablets, as well as your

electriccontrolled wheelchair. The signals from the sensors in the handpiece are sent to the Ihandle control unit and

from there to the device being controlled.

1.3 Symbols

Table 1 below explains the meaning of the symbols used on your Ihandle and its packaging

Refer to documentation

Table 1: Symbols used on the Ihandle

1.4 Contact and support

Support for your Ihandle system is provided by your local dealer. See www.tks-technology.dk for the contact

information of your local dealer. Having access to your Ihandle system and an internet connection when you call will

speed up the support process.

4 | P a g e

The Ihandle is manufactured by: TKS A/S, Niels Jernes Vej 10, 9200 Aalborg Øst, Denmark

1.5 Warranty

The warranty follow EU standard which gives a total period of 2 years from invoice date. Furthermore it´s only valid if

the unit is used according to this user manual and no visible sign of unintended use..

Ihandle is intended to be used by cognizant persons over the age of 8. The Ihandle is not intended to be used by persons

who lack the finger mobility to eject the handpiece using their fingers. Use of the Ihandle that falls outside the intended

use described above is not covered by the warranty.

2Setting up Ihandle

2.1 System overview

The Ihandle consists of four parts: An activation unit (AU), a Handpiece Unit (HPU), a Control Unit (CU). The CU and HPU

each include a power supply. See Figure 1 for a diagram of the Ihandle, including the activation unit.

Figure 1 : Ihandle parts and cables.

The activation unit (AU) activates the sensors in the HPU and is placed either on a staff similar to the tongue piercing

used in the Itongue [ref] or is enclosed within a high density polyethylene (HDPE) staff. The AU staff is then inserted

through a hole created in a biocompatible fastening material. The staff is supplied with a flat, disc-like bottom to avoid

slipping of the AU through the hole. The fastening material is then tied around the finger of the user at a position that is

comfortable and easy to access HPU.

5 | P a g e

The Hand Piece Unit (HPU) is ideally placed around the finger of your hand when you are using Ihandle. The handpiece

can also be tied anywhere close to the hand or onto the machinery that is to be controlled. It is important that the HPU

is placed at a position comfortable for the user. The HPU is tied using a biocompatible fastening material. The HPU is

fixed on to the fastening material using a male screw that is passed through the hole created in the fastening material

and is bolted and tightened to the female screw present on the back side of the HPU. HPU is removed when Ihandle is

not in use.

The Control Unit (CU) allows you to operate a computer interface or control a wheelchair. The control unit has a touch

screen that can be used to adjust settings and change modes without using the handpiece. The control unit has a power

supply connector, as well as a connector for cabled connection to a wheelchair. The CU power supply is used when the

CU is in use with a computer or tablet. When the CU is connected to a wheelchair, the wheelchair power adapter cable

is connected to the power supply connection on the CU.

The handpiece unit has a power supply connector for charging it after use.

WARNING: DO NOT USE THE IHANDLE WITH OTHER POWER ADAPTERS

THAN THOSE SUPPLIED WITH THE SYSTEM. IF YOU REQUIRE A REPLACEMENT POWER ADAPTER,

CONTACT YOUR SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE.

All necessary Ihandle drivers are installed at delivery.

2.2 Before using the Ihandle for the first time

The Ihandle should be fitted and configured by a healthcare professional. Do not use the Ihandle before the correct

location and fit has been determined in collaboration with a healthcare professional.

The Ihandle should only be used by persons who are able to remove the handpiece using the fingers. Do not use the

Ihandle if you are not able to do so.

2.3 Setting up Ihandle

The HPU and AU should be affixed to the user's hand, finger or wrist in such a way that the user can comfortably move

the AU over the entire HPU surface. The HPU can also be affixed to the user's wheelchair using the screw threads on the

bottom. See figure 2 showing a possible method to attach the HPU and AU onto the user.

Figure 2 : Ihandle parts and cables

Make sure the Ihandle handpiece is fully charged before using it for the first time. If you are not using the Ihandle with a

wheelchair, connect the Control Unit to the power supply cable and plug the power supply into a standard power outlet

(220V). When you are done using the Ihandle, you can leave the Control Unit plugged in, or switch it off by

disconnecting the power supply cable from the Control Unit.

Setup of Ihandle for wheelchair use should be performed by an authorized service and installation technician.

3.4 Modes

The Ihandle has four modes:

-Wheelchair

-Keyboard

-Mouse

-Standby

The functionality of the handpiece sensors changes according to the mode the system is in. In standby mode, activation

of the sensors does not result in any signals being sent out.

Figure 2 to 4 show the layout of sensors in keyboard, mouse, and wheelchair mode. You can change mode using the

touch screen on the control unit (CU) or by navigating through the menus using the handpiece.

In the bottom left corner of the screen, the battery symbol shows the level of battery power in the handpiece. A green

battery symbol indicates that the handpiece is fully charged. If the battery symbol changes to yellow or red, it is time to

charge your handpiece.

In the bottom right corner of the screen, the radio symbol shows the quality of the radio connection between the

control unit and the handpiece.
