SICARE Pilot - User Manual 1. Fields of Application Thanks to modern technology, physically disabled persons are now able to cope on their own with most everyday situations. The many different ways of operating modern devices, however, means that the disabled person has not only frequently to rethink, but often has to change control units. SICARE Pilot is a mobile device for controlling and operating numerous appliances and equipment designed specifically for the disabled, as well as for household technology, communication and entertainment electronics. SICARE Pilot converts spoken commands into signals to control equipment designed specially for this purpose. The signals are outputed by: • Infrared transmitter, e.g. for television, video recorder, hi-fi equipment, telephone, and lighting • Radio transmitter, e.g. X-10 access • Wired interfaces, e.g. for motorized adjustable beds SICARE Pilot can be operated as an installed device from the mains (the power supply unit is also the battery charger) or as a portable device with batteries. ok Haus Fig. 1: Fields of application Version 4.1 User Manual / Page 4 evo @ soft 5 International Inc.

Hardware Version 4.1 User Manual / Page 5 evo @ soft 5 International Inc. SICARE Pilot - User Manual 3. Overview of Functions With the SICARE Pilot, up to 64 different commands can be stored. Simple commands such as “on”, “off”, “left”, “right”, etc. can be added to any other command and can therefore be used more than once in combination. The SICARE Pilot sends commands like “Turn on TV” automatically via the selected interface to the desired device. Each command can initiate actions on various devices at the same time. For example, as soon as the phone rings, the volume on the radio and TV are turned down. The range of the SICARE Pilot’s functions depends on the configuration of the device. The SICARE Pilot is configured using PC software supplied with it. Configuration consists of: • Defining the menu structure Choosing the menu items, branches and actions • Setting the parameters for actions Transmission type and value • Training the voice pattern Having copied the configuration data into the pilot, the device can be operated entirely without the PC. The commands are given by speaking, using the voice pattern recognition. If there are problems of recognition in operation, it is possible to retrain every command word on the Pilot. Other individuals can operate the SICARE Pilot with control keys. All menu items and actions are shown on the display. Version 4.1 User Manual / Page 6 evo @ soft 5 International Inc. SICARE Pilot - User Manual 4. Turning on your SICARE Pilot When the SICARE Pilot is turned on ∂, the device is in stand-by mode. Pressing the SCROLL key or the OK key π starts the device. After briefly showing the software version on the display, the first word of the main-menu level is shown in the first line of the display. ATTENTION ! The SICARE Pilot is delivered with 2 empty rechargeable batteries. These must be charged for at least 3 hours, before a configuration from the PC can be transferred into the SICARE Pilot! Failing to pay attention to this can put your SICARE Pilot into an errant condition which can only be corrected at the factory! 5. Operating your SICARE Pilot in the holder Operation in the holder is done for the following reasons: • To operate your SICARE Pilot using the mains • To charge the rechargeable batteries • For exchanging data between a PC and the SICARE Pilot • For teaching th…
