Using the eZ430-Chronos Watch With a PC

The Control Center allows the user to map button pushes on the watch into keystrokes on the PC. The
default setting is PowerPoint control, which allows switching slides forward/backward and to start the slide
show.
1. Select "SimpliciTI Acc/PPT tab.
2. Click on "Start Access Point" to start linking. The control center status line displays "Access point
started".
3. Select "PPt" mode in the bottom LCD line of the eZ430-Chronos watch and activate the RF link by
pressing the "DOWN" button. The watch connects to the PC, this may take a moment.

5. Open a PowerPoint presentation. Press "#" to go to presentation mode (slide show - F5), "UP" to
switch to next slide (right arrow key) and "*" (left arrow key) to switch to previous slide.
NOTE: To avoid bouncing of the watch buttons, a delay of 0.6 s between transmissions is
implemented; i.e., if a button is pressed twice within less than 0.6, it is translated into one
keystroke only.
The eZ430-Chronos Control Center allows to the user to define other short cuts; for example,
to control a music or video player. See Section 3.3.2 for details.
