Convenience
Permits hands-free reading of vast libraries of scanned, purchased, or freely downloaded digital content. There is no need to stop playing your musical instrument or wait for a care-giver to turn the page.
Reliability
Turns one page at a time with 100% accuracy. Navigation of digital content eliminates the risk of turning multiple pages at once, which is a problem typically associated with physical books.
Versatility
Press a mode button to select pedal functions for enhanced software compatibility: PageUp/PageDown, Left/Right arrow, Up/Down arrow, Left/Right mouse click, and Space/Enter.
Robust Operation
A Repeat switch enables continuous scrolling while the pedal is pressed down. Disable this autorepeat feature for musical performances to prevent inadvertent page turns in case of a slow pedal release.
Wireless Connectivity
The PageFlip Cicada communicates wirelessly with the computer up to a range of 10 meters using standard Bluetooth 2.0 technology.
Compatibility
Works with any Windows, Mac, or Linux computer. Even works with the Apple iPad on apps that accept keyboard commands, such as forScore, Deepdish Gigbook, MusicReader, unrealBook, Planning Center Music Stand, and OnSong. Includes a Bluetooth USB micro adapter (dongle) to bring the full benefits of this wireless pedal to any computer that is not Bluetooth compliant.
Unique Pairing
Multiple pedals can be operated in the same room without interference. The Bluetooth pairing process uniquely establishes wireless connectivity between the PageFlip Cicada and one computer. The computer requires the user to enter a numerical code on the PageFlip Cicada. Simply press one of the five mode buttons and, if necessary, the left pedal (Shift) to enter each code digit. The right pedal (Enter) must be pressed to complete the pairing process.
External Switches
The PageFlip Cicada (Disability Version) is compatible with a wide array of external switches. Commonly used sip-and-puff and Jelly Bean pushbutton switches may be plugged into the auxiliary switch outlet(s) via two 1/8" mono plugs.
Auto Power-Off Function
PageFlip Cicada automatically turns itself off two hours after the last operation is performed. The pedal has a battery life of 200 hours in continuous page turning mode, or approximately 200,000 page turns.
Portability
The unit is small, light, and operates on AC power or two AA batteries.
