USB port on the same computer.

Play mode for Macintosh, OS X
The foot switch should be functional with its factory programming immediately after
plugging in the device. No drivers need to be installed. The middle mouse button action will
probably not perform any action unless a third-party mouse driver has been installed (e.g
USB Overdrive, from usboverdrive.com).

Testing and using pre-programmed actions
Once the required generic “play mode” driver is installed, the Savant Elite foot switch
connects like a standard USB keyboard or mouse. Just plug the cable into a USB port on
your computer, whether the computer is running or not. As long as the green LED is glowing
continuously (not flashing), the device is in play mode and working properly.

For now, don’t worry about re-programming your foot switch, before you have confirmed
that it is working normally. It is normally shipped pre-programmed to produce mouse-click
actions which should work on all recent operating systems. See the previous chapter for the
actions pre-programmed in your particular model.

Mini-phono jack for Optional Input Device
If you have a jack-equipped unit, you may connect either a Kinesis foot switch (FS005MP,
FS007MP) or a hand trigger (FS002HT8) at any time. Only a foot switch or hand trigger
purchased from Kinesis should be used in this way. Do not attempt to force a plug into the
jack, as different sizes of phono plugs exist. Do not connect any other device or cable to this
jack.
