You can easily switch between the available button modes:
Press the End-of-letter/priority (•EoL/••Prio) button and the Insert/overwrite (INS/OVR) button simultaneously for three seconds.
All button LEDs simultaneously flash orange.
Press the corresponding button for the desired mode. The buttons are assigned to the button modes as follows:
Mode
Button

The SpeechMike exits the mode selection and switches to the selected mode.
Tip
You can always check your current button mode by briefly pressing the End-of-letter/priority (•EoL/••Prio) button and the Insert/overwrite (INS/OVR) button simultaneously.
The LED of the button assigned to the current mode (see previous table) shortly lights up orange, e.g. if the currently activated mode is the Event mode, the LED of the F1 button lights up orange.
Event mode
The Event mode is the default mode of your SpeechMike. In this mode, each button on your SpeechMike is assigned to a command. In SpeechControl software, you can define which commands should be executed by pressing or releasing a desired button on your SpeechMike in order to control various computer applications.
