Appendix A Accessibility 141 LED Flash for Alerts If you can’t hear the sounds that announce incoming calls and other alerts, you can have iPhone flash its LED (next to the camera lens on the back of the iPhone). This works only when iPhone is locked or asleep. Turn on LED Flash for Alerts. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > LED Flash for Alerts. Mono audio and balance Mono Audio combines the left and right stereo channels into a mono signal played on both channels. You can adjust the balance of the mono signal for greater volume on the right or left channel. Turn Mono Audio on or off and adjust the balance. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Mono Audio. Call audio routing You can have the audio of incoming calls automatically routed to a headset or speaker phone instead of the iPhone receiver. Reroute audio for incoming calls. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Incoming Calls and choose how you want to hear your calls. You can also have audio from calls routed to your hearing aids; see Hearing aids on page 13 9. Assignable ringtones and vibrations You can assign distinctive ringtones to people in your contacts list for audible caller ID. You can also assign vibration patterns for notifications from specific apps, for phone calls, for FaceTime calls or messages from special contacts, and to alert you of a variety of other events, including new voicemail, new mail, sent mail, Tweet, Facebook Post, and reminders. Choose from existing patterns, or create new ones. See Sounds and silence on page 32. You can purchase ringtones from the iTunes Store on iPhone. See Chapter 22, iTunes Store, on page 101 . Phone noise cancellation iPhone uses ambient noise cancellation to reduce background noise. Turn noise cancellation on or off. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Phone Noise Cancellation. Guided Access Guided Access helps an iPhone user stay focused on a task. Guided Access dedicates iPhone to a single app, and lets you control app features. Use Guided Access to: •Temporarily restrict iPhone to a particular app •Disable areas of the screen that aren’t relevant to a task, or areas where an accidental gesture might cause a distraction •Disable the iPhone Sleep/Wake or volume buttons
Appendix A Accessibility 14 2 Turn on Guided Access. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access, where you can: •Turn Guided Access on or off •Set a passcode that controls the use of Guided Access and prevents someone from leaving a session •Set whether other accessibility shortcuts are available during a session Start a Guided Access session. Open the app you want to run, then triple-click the Home button. Adjust settings for the session, then click Start. •Disable app controls and areas of the app screen: Circle any part of the screen you want to disable. Use the handles to adjust the area. •Enable the Sleep/Wake or Volume buttons: Tap Options and turn on the buttons. •Ignore all screen touches: Turn off Touch. •Keep iPhone from switching from portrait to landscape or from responding to any other motions: Turn off Motion. End a Guided Access session. Triple-click the Home button, enter the Guided Access passcode, and tap End. Switch Control Switch Control lets you control iPhone using a single switch or multiple switches. Use any of several methods to perform actions such as selecting, tapping, dragging, typing, and even free-hand drawing. The basic technique is to use a switch to select an item or location on the screen, and then use the same (or different) switch to choose an action to perform on that item or location. Three basic methods are: •Item scanning (default), which highlights different items on the screen until you select one. •Point scanning, which lets you use scanning crosshairs to pick a screen location. •Manual selection, which lets you move from item to item on demand (requires multiple switches). Whichever method you use, when you select an individual item (rather than a group), a menu appears so you can choose how to act on the selected item (tap, drag, or pinch, for example). If you use multiple switches, you can set up each switch to perform a specific action and customize your item selection method. For example, instead of automatically scanning screen items, you can set up switches to move to the next or previous item on demand. You can adjust the behavior of Switch Control in a variety of ways, to suit your specific needs and style. Add a switch and turn on Switch Control You can use any of these as a switch: •An external adaptive switch. Choose from a variety of popular USB or Bluetooth switches. •The iPhone screen. Tap on the screen to trigger the switch. •The iPhone FaceTime camera. Move your head to trigger the switch. You can use the camera as two switches; one when you move your head to the left, and the other when you move your head to the right. Add a switch and choose its action. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Switches.
Appendix A Accessibility 14 3 Turn on Switch Control. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control. Turn off Switch Control. Use any scanning method to select Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control. Bail out! Triple-click the Home button at any time to exit from Switch Control. Basic techniques These techniques work whether you’re scanning by item or by point. Select an item. While the item is highlighted, trigger the switch you’ve set up as your Select Item switch. If you are using a single switch, it is your Select Item switch by default. Display available actions. Select an item using the Select Item switch. Available actions appear in the control menu that appears. Tap an item. Use your selection method to choose Tap from the control menu that appears when you select the item. Or turn on Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Auto Tap, then just select an item and do nothing for the Auto Tap interval (0.75 seconds if you haven’t adjusted it). Or set up a switch specifically to perform the tap gesture at Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Switches. Perform other gestures or actions. Select the gesture or action from the control menu that appears when you select the item. If you have Auto Tap turned on, trigger your switch within the Auto Tap interval, then select the gesture. If there is more than one page of actions available, tap the dots at the bottom of the menu to go to another page. Dismiss the control menu. Tap while all the icons in the menu are dimmed. Scroll the screen to see more items. Select any item on the screen, then choose Scroll from the control menu. Perform a hardware action. Select any item, then select Device from the menu that appears. You can use the menu to mimic these actions: •Click the Home button •Double-click the Home button for multitasking •Open Notification Center or Control Center •Press the Sleep/Wake button to lock iPhone •Rotate iPhone •Flip the Mute switch •Press the volume buttons •Hold down the Home button to open Siri •Triple-click the Home button •Shake iPhone •Press Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously to take a screenshot Item scanning Item scanning alternately highlights each item or group of items on the screen until you trigger your Select Item switch to select the highlighted item. When you select a group, highlighting continues with the items in the group. Scanning stops and a menu of actions appears when you select a unique item. Item scanning is the default when you first turn on Switch Control.
Appendix A Accessibility 14 4 Select an item or enter a group. Watch (or listen) as items are highlighted. When the item you want to control (or the group containing the item) is highlighted, trigger your Select Item switch. Work your way down in the hierarchy of items until you select the individual item you want to control. Back out of a group. Trigger your switch when the the dashed highlight around the group or item appears. Tap the selected item. Choose Tap from the menu that appears when you select the item. Or, if you have Auto Tap enabled, just do nothing for three-quarters of a second. Perform another action. Select any item, then select the action from the menu that appears. If you have Auto Tap turned on, act on your switch within three quarters of a second of selecting an item in order to display a menu of available gestures. Point scanning Point scanning lets you select an item on the screen by pinpointing it with scanning crosshairs. Turn on point scanning. Use item scanning to select Settings from the menu, then select Item Mode to toggle it to Point Mode. The vertical crosshair appears when you close the menu. Return to item scanning. Select Settings from the control menu, then select Point Mode to toggle it to Item Mode. Settings and adjustments Adjust basic settings. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control, where you can: •Add switches •Turn off auto scanning (if you’ve added a “Move to Next Item” switch) •Adjust the scanning interval •Set scanning to pause on the first item in a group •Choose how many times to cycle through the screen before hiding Switch Control •Turn Auto Tap on or off and set the interval for performing a second switch action to show the control menu •Set whether a movement action is repeated when you hold down a switch, and how long to wait before repeating •Set whether and how long you need to hold a switch down before it is accepted as a switch action •Have Switch Control ignore accidental repeated switch triggers •Adjust point scanning speed •Turn on sound effects or speech •Select the items you want to see in the menu •Make the selection cursor larger or a different color •Set whether items should be grouped while item scanning •Save custom gestures that you can choose from the Action portion of the control menu. Fine-tune Switch Control.

Appendix A Accessibility 14 5 •Reverse the scanning direction •Turn on or off sound or speech accompaniment •Turn off groups to scan items one at a time AssistiveTouch AssistiveTouch helps you use iPhone if you have difficulty touching the screen or pressing the buttons. You can use an adaptive accessory (such as a joystick) with AssistiveTouch to control iPhone. You can also use AssistiveTouch without an accessory, to perform gestures that are difficult for you. Turn on AssistiveTouch. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch, or use the Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on page 12 7. Adjust the tracking speed (with an accessory attached). Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Touch speed. Show or hide the AssistiveTouch menu (with an accessory attached). Click the secondary button on your accessory. Move the menu button. Drag it to any edge of the screen. Hide the menu button (with an accessory attached). Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Always Show Menu. Perform a swipe or drag that uses 2, 3, 4, or 5 fingers. Tap the menu button, tap Device > More > Gestures, then tap the number of digits needed for the gesture. When the corresponding circles appear on the screen, swipe or drag in the direction required by the gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button. Perform a pinch gesture. Tap the menu button, tap Favorites, and then tap Pinch. When the pinch circles appear, touch anywhere on the screen to move the pinch circles, then drag the pinch circles in or out to perform a pinch gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button. Create your own gesture. You can add your own favorite gestures to the control menu (for example, tap and hold or two-finger rotation). Tap the menu button, tap Favorites, then tap an empty gesture placeholder. Or go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture. Example 1: To create the rotation gesture, go to Settings > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture. On the gesture recording screen that prompts you to touch to create a gesture, rotate two fingers on the iPhone screen around a point between them. If it doesn’t turn out quite right, tap Cancel and try again. When it looks right, tap Save and give the gesture a name—maybe “Rotate 90.” Then, to rotate the view in Maps, for example, open Maps, tap the AssistiveTouch menu button, and choose Rotate 90 from Favorites. When the blue circles representing the starting finger positions appear, drag them to point around which you want to rotate the map, then release. You might want to create several gestures with different degrees of rotation. Example 2: Let’s create the touch and hold gesture that you use to start rearranging icons on your Home screen. This time, on the gesture recording screen, hold down your finger in one spot until the recording progress bar reaches halfway, then lift your finger. Be careful not to move your finger while recording, or the gesture will be recorded as a drag. Tap Save and name the gesture. To use the gesture, tap the AssistiveTouch menu button and choose your gesture from Favorites. When the blue circle representing your touch appears, drag it over a Home screen icon and release.

C 14 9 iPhone in Business With support for secure access to corporate networks, directories, custom apps, and Microsoft Exchange, iPhone is ready to go to work. For detailed information about using iPhone in business, go to www.apple.com/iphone/business. Mail, Contacts, and Calendar To use iPhone with your work accounts, you need to know the settings your organization requires. If you received your iPhone from your organization, the settings and apps you need might already be installed. If it’s your own iPhone, your system administrator may provide you with the settings for you to enter, or they may have you connect to a mobile device management server that installs the settings and apps you should have. Organizational settings and accounts are typically in configuration profiles. You might be asked to install a configuration profile that was sent to you in an email, or one that is downloaded from a web page. When you open the file, iPhone asks for your permission to install the profile, and displays information about what it contains. In most cases, when you install a configuration profile that sets up an account for you, some iPhone settings can’t be changed. For example, your organization might turn on Auto-Lock and require you to set a passcode in order to protect the information in the accounts you access. You can see your profiles in Settings > General > Profiles. If you delete a profile, all of the settings and accounts associated with the profile are also removed, including any custom apps your organization provided or had you download. If you need a passcode to delete a profile, contact your system administrator. Network access A VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private resources, such as your organization’s network. You may need to install a VPN app from the App Store that configures your iPhone to access a particular network. Contact your system administrator for information about apps and settings you need. Apps In addition to the built-in apps and the ones you get from the App Store, your organization may want you to have certain other apps. They might provide you with a pre-paid redemption code for the App Store. When you download an app using a redemption code, you own it, even though your organization purchased it for you. Appendix
Appendix C iPhone in Business 15 0 Your organization can also purchase App Store app licenses that they assign to you for a period of time, but that the organization retains. You’ll be invited to participate in your organization’s program in order to access these apps. After you’re enrolled with your iTunes account, you’re prompted to install these apps as they’re assigned to you. You can also find them in your Purchased list in the App Store. An app you receive this way is removed if the organization assigns it to someone else. Your organization might also develop custom apps that aren’t in the App Store. You’ll install them from a webpage or, if your organization uses mobile device management, you’ll receive a notification asking you to install them over the air. These apps belong to your organization, and they may be removed or stop working if you delete a configuration profile or dissociate iPhone from the mobile device management server.
