Q: Hitch is not installing correctly.
A: Hitch uses a generic USB keyboard/mouse driver that is already installed on most compatible systems. If the Hitch appears not to function with your device after initial connection we recommend:

• Try connecting the Hitch to a different USB port of your device.
• If using a USB hub, try plugging Hitch directly into your device.

Q: A switch is not working when connected to Hitch 2.
A: Hitch 2.0 offers the ability to connect up to five switches for different functions at any time. If a switch appears not to work we recommend:

• Pay close attention to the mode LED. The LED in the same row/column that you have your switch connected to should flash each time the switch is pressed.
• Try connecting the switch to a different switch port.
• Try a changing to a different mode setting.
• Try connecting a different switch, that you know works, to the same port.

Q: Hitch is not working with my program.
A:  Hitch 2 is designed to emulate various keyboard and mouse functions. To ensure that your selected program can properly communicate with Hitch 2.0 please review the following:

• Ensure the program, as well as the Hitch 2, are set to the same function.
• Find or change the functionality for the program so it can respond to mouse or keyboard keystrokes available on the Hitch 2.

Please note: If the function the program you are using is not a preset on Hitch, you may need to program Hitch 2 for compatibility.

Q: Hitch is not programming.
A: Hitch 2.0 can be programmed for many alternative keyboard commands. Instructions for programming this row of functions can be found in the Quick Start Guide. If Hitch 2 does not appear to be handling programming we recommend:

• Ensure that the Program Switch is positioned towards the word "Program"
• Be sure the correct mode for programming is selected. Note: only the bottom row of Hitch 2 is available for custom programming (PR1 through PR5).
• Check that the USB keyboard is securely connected to Hitch 2’s USB port labeled "Keyboard".
• Try a different keyboard. Ablenet tries to ensure most keyboards will work for programming, but it's always possible that some may not.
