Connection 

 
Choose the USB cable for the appropriate mounting configuration: 
 

  Laptop Computer with the HeadMouse connectors pointed 

down, use the 3-foot (90-centimeter) straight cable. (This 
orientation is typically used with our Notebook Bracket.) 

  Desktop Display with the HeadMouse connectors pointed 

up, use the 6-foot (1.8-meter) right-angle cable. 

  Augmentative and Alternative Communication Device with 

the HeadMouse connectors pointed up, use the 2-foot (60-
centimeter) right angle cable. 

 
After the HeadMouse Extreme is mounted, connect one end of the 
USB cable to the USB on the HeadMouse Extreme then connect 
the other end of the cable to the USB port on the computer or 
communication device. If an adaptive switch is being used to 
perform mouse clicks, connect it to the switch input jack on the 
HeadMouse Extreme. (Dual switch users please refer to Dual and 
Multiple Switch section)  
 
Turn on the computer or communication device. The status light 
on the HeadMouse Extreme will come on (red LED) to indicate 
that it is receiving power.
