Summary

The Specs Switch is often mounted and comes with 3 interchangable bases and a 24-inch velcro strap. This guide will cover how to attach the strap to the switch. Once attached, the strap can be wrapped around items such as a headrest or wheelchair arm, allowing the switch to be mounted nearly anywhere. This task should take you less than 5 minutes.
