The OK button is the general select button serving toselect the highlighted portions of the graphic user interface as well as confirminputs once they are correct. The BACK button will step back one step withevery push. It will move incrementally back through the various menus until itreaches the main menu. By allowing the patient to move backwards throughthe menus a confused patient will be allowed to start over.When placing the buttons on the interface, layout will be important. If thebuttons are too cluttered than the user may mistakenly hit the wrong input.Separating the joystick from the confirmation and back buttons will provide twodistinct areas with very different functions. These isolated areas of function willreduce problems when inputting information to the interface for disabledpatients. An example of this layout is shown in Fig. 2.2.2.3.2 on the next page.Figure 2.2.2.3.2: Button and joystick layout with separate areas for information input2.2.2.4 Rhino 12 Volt 3.4Ah Sealed Lead Acid Battery (Code: SLA-3-12)31
