AeroSwitch™

Wireless. Versatile. Convenient.

Meet AeroSwitch, the new Bluetooth-compatible, wireless switch from PRC-Saltillo. 

Designed for compatibility with most devices* running iOS, Android and Windows devices using Bluetooth 4.1 or higher, the AeroSwitch offers a host of options: 

• Use it as a hub. Two switch jacks allow AeroSwitch to be used as a hub for other, wired switches.
• Use with other AeroSwitches. Depending on your device, use up to three AeroSwitches for a variety of access and selection options.
• Use it inside communication software…or outside. AeroSwitch comes pre-programmed with common keyboard commands that work with a variety of devices, software programs and apps.

Even more, AeroSwitch comes with a choice of color caps to accommodate a wide variety of visual preferences. Or personalize it! Select the clear cap and add your favorite stickers, photos…make it yours.

At a convenient 2.99″ (76mm) diameter x .8″ (20mm) height, its “just right” size makes it ideal for multiple placements. And the battery is easily replaceable, to keep you going without a long replacement process. 

AeroSwitch offers all this for only $175.

Just like hand washing, cleaning and disinfecting your PRC-Saltillo device on a regular basis is an important habit to get into. To aid in the fight against the spread of germs, here are some helpful steps for properly sanitizing your device and other equipment:

First Step: Put on protective gloves

Next Step: Clean the device and accessories

1. Wipe down the device and accessories with disinfectant wipes (Virucidal, Bactericidal, Pseudomonacidal, Tuberculocidal, Fungicidal) like Metrex CaviWipes™. Follow the disinfectant product manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
2. Take a Q-Tip with cleaner applied (for example, Windex® or another commercial cleaner) and clean inside all cracks and crevices. You may want to use a toothbrush or similar brush.
3. Blow the device off with an air hose or wipe it dry.

IMPORTANT! Make sure all soil is removed from the device and accessories. This is vital before proceeding to disinfecting the equipment.

Next Step: Disinfect the device and accessories

1. Wipe down the device and accessories with a new disinfectant wipe (Virucidal, Bactericidal, Pseudomonacidal, Tuberculocidal, Fungicidal)—Metrex CaviWipes. Follow the disinfectant product manufacturer’s instructions for disinfecting.
2. Make sure to clean inside all cracks and corners, and wipe more than once if necessary to keep the device wet for a minimum of three (3) minutes.
3. Allow the device and accessories to dry.

Final Step: Wipe the touchscreen

1. When the device and accessories are dry, wipe down the viewing area (device touchscreen, TouchGuide, keyguard, etc.) with glass cleaner, so the screen doesn’t discolor.
2. Allow the equipment to dry.

For questions about cleaning and disinfecting your device, we welcome you to contact your local PRC-Saltillo consultant. Find your representative here.
