Guide

Turn on

If xBand is off, hold the Action button and release when xBand vibrates three long vibrations.

xBand response: Three long. If xBand has turned on. (The letter: O, in Morse code.)

Turn off

If xBand is on, hold the Action button and release when you feel the first short vibration.

xBand response: Long, short, short, long. If xBand is turning off. (The letter: X, in Morse code.)

Enter pairing mode

Hold the Action button and release when you feel the third short vibration.

xBand response: Two short (repeated every 15 seconds). (The letter: I, in Morse code.)

Toggle standalone mode (Disable or enable Bluetooth)

Hold the Action button and release when you feel the second short vibration.

xBand response: Three short, if you have entered standalone mode (disabled Bluetooth). Three long, if you have exited standalone mode (enabled Bluetooth). (The letter: S, or the letter: O, in Morse code.)

Cancel

Press the Action button quickly one time to skip an incoming message.

xBand response: Stops vibrating the current message.

xBand will also stop vibrating the current message if you initiate a new command by pressing any button on your xBand.

Repeat

Press the Action button quickly three times.

xBand response: Repeats the last vibrated notification.

If you are in Morse mode and are currently writing, this will instead vibrate what you have written (see command Play back written characters).

Actions available only in Morse mode

Play back written characters

Press the Action button quickly three times.

xBand response: xBand will vibrate what you have written.

If you are in Morse mode and are not currently writing (your input is empty), this will instead repeat the last vibrated notification (see the Repeat command).

Execute command

Press the Action button quickly two times. Performed after you have written a command on the Morse button to execute the command.

xBand response: If you have asked for information, xBand responds with the requested information. If you have executed a task, xBand responds with the letter: C (long, short, long, short) and executes the task. If xBand did not understand your command it responds with an error (eight short).

Delete written characters

Keep holding down the Morse button after the normal vibration feedback has stopped. After this, each short vibration you feel will delete a character, and each long vibration will delete a space. Keep holding to delete more characters, and release the button when you’ve deleted the desired number. If you release in the middle of a vibration, that character or space won't be deleted.

If you don’t feel any more vibrations, you have cleared everything you have written.

xBand response: For every vibration pulse you feel before you release the button, one character or space is deleted from your current input.
