All Cosmo Dot Setup App Features

Forget Devices: Unpairs your Cosmo Dot from all previously connected devices. Each Dot can be paired with up to seven third-party devices. 

Battery Saver: Enable Battery Saver to extend the battery life of your Dot by reducing LED brightness and optimising power consumption. Note: Some LED features may be limited when this feature is enabled.

• OFF: The Dot will automatically power off after 4 hours of inactivity.
• ON: After 20 minutes of inactivity, the Dot’s light will turn off, but the Dot will remain connected. The Dot will fully power off after 3 hours of inactivity.

Dot Colour: Choose the LED colour that your Cosmo Dot will display. The device will light up in this colour when activated. 

Brightness: Control how bright the Dot’s light is (five levels from 0-100%). Note: higher brightness uses more battery. 

Touch-sensitivity: Adjust how sensitive the Dot is to touch (0-100%). Lower sensitivity requires a firmer press; Higher sensitivity requires a softer press. 

Light Mode: Choose how the Dot lights up when pressed (five modes available).

Primary Action: Choose the keyboard input your Cosmo Dot will send when pressed:

• Space: Play/Pause; Move to the next item (AAC apps)
• Enter: Select an item (browser, AAC apps)
• Tab: Move to next item (browser, AAC apps)
• Arrow up/down/left/right: Mirrors the keyboard arrow keys, usually used for playing games.
• Left/Right click: Mirrors the mouse left and right button.
• Volume up/down: Controls volume
• Play/Pause: Controls media
• Mute/Unmute: Controls media
• F7/F8/~1/~3: Specific Windows functions

Action Trigger:

• On press: The chosen character/action is triggered when the Dot is pressed down.
• On release: The chosen character/action is triggered when you lift your hand off the Dot. 

Tip: “On release” is better for precise timing, while “On press” is instant. 

Activation Delay: Press and hold for 0 to 2 seconds to activate the Primary Action. Helps prevent accidental or repeated activation caused by uncontrolled or involuntary movements.

Sound Level: Adds a soft “click” sound to support users with low vision (Off, Low, Medium, High). This setting helps confirm when the Dot is activated for users with visual impairments. Dot has to be updated to firmware version 4.6.00+ to use this feature. 

Ignore Repeat: Treats continuous pressing as a single activation—useful for users who may rest on the Dot or press for longer than intended. ON: Each press sends only one action. OFF: Pressing and holding the Dot sends repeated actions (like holding down a keyboard key.)

Stay On When Disconnected: Prevents the Dot from automatically powering off after 5 minutes when it is not connected to a third-party device

Stay On When Connected: Prevents the Dot from automatically powering off after 1 hour when it is connected to a third-party device.

Use While Charging: Allows Bluetooth access and standard operation while the Dot is charging instead of showing charging status only.
