Congratulations on your purchase of the PageFlip Firefly Bluetooth/USB
pedal! This product was designed to meet the needs of musicians, people with disabilities, and avid readers who struggle with the challenge and
inconvenience of page turning. PageFlip Firefly works exclusively with digital documents, web pages, and image collections on any tablet or computer. By simply tapping the dual pedal of the PageFlip Firefly, the digital
content can now be flipped or scrolled in either the forward or reverse
directions for convenient hands-free page turning.
The PageFlip Firefly emulates a standard keyboard and works with
any software that uses keyboard strokes to navigate through digital files.
For added versatility, the user may select among five preset modes for
the dual pedals: PageUp/PageDown, Left/Right arrow, Up/Down arrow,
Left/Right mouse click, and Space / Enter. Changing modes is as simple
as pressing a button. For added versatility, the pedal functions may be reprogrammed with free software available on
connect the pedal to a Windows/Mac computer using the supplied USB
cable and run the software to edit the pedal modes.
The PageFlip Firefly is ideal for musicians who can now keep their
hands, and their focus, on their instruments rather than struggle with turning sheet music. It is also ideal for people with disabilities who can more
easily tap a pedal than attempt to manipulate pages of a standard book or
magazine. The convenient mode buttons maximize versatility for use with
a wide variety of software to scroll, browse, and navigate through eBooks,
PDF files, Word, Powerpoint, web pages, and images.

universal. An optional USB Bluetooth dongle is available from PageFlip to
interface to computers that are not equipped with Bluetooth 2.1 (or later).
If the user prefers wired connectivity, the supplied USB cable can be connected between the pedal and tablet/computer. Note that iPads require an
optional Camera Connection Kit to interface with the supplied USB cable.
The PageFlip Firefly features LED lighting to emit a discrete glow on
each of the two pedals, hence the name “Firefly.” This lighting permits
the pedal to be easily found in orchestra pits, dark stages, and cluttered
environments. Use the light switch to turn off the LED lighting when not
needed to preserve battery life.
PageFlip Firefly is compact, silent, reliable, durable, and easy to use.
Since it works with digital content, it guarantees 100% reliability in turning
one page at a time without moving parts or noise. Just pair the pedal with
a Bluetooth-enabled computer or connect it to the tablet/computer via the
USB cable, open up any digital file, and tap the pedal to begin enjoying
hands-free reading. Be prepared to enjoy the benefits of the PageFlip
Firefly Bluetooth/USB pedal for automatic page turning!

2 FEATURES
• Ease of Use
Simply open a digital file and press either pedal of the PageFlip
Firefly to turn a page forwards or backwards.
• 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. The pedals may
be reprogrammed for added versatility.
• Robust Operation
A Repeat switch enables continuous scrolling while the pedal is
pressed down. Disable this feature for musical performances to
prevent inadvertent page turns in case of a slow pedal release or
to rest your foot on the pedal between page turns.
• Wireless or Wired Connectivity
The PageFlip Firefly communicates wirelessly with the computer up
to a range of 10 meters using standard Bluetooth 3.0 technology.
For those users preferring a wired connection, the pedal can be
connected directly to a tablet/computer via the supplied USB cable.
• Compatibility
Works with any Windows, Mac, or Linux computer. Even works with
