What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This receiver plugs into a standard 3.5mm switch jack and picks up wireless signals from AbleNet's Jelly Beamer or Big Beamer transmitter switches, allowing a user to activate a device or computer switch interface without a physical cable running to the switch. It's designed for someone who benefits from switch access but needs the switch placed at a distance — for example, a wheelchair user whose switch is mounted at head or hand level while the controlled device is across the room. This is one piece of a two-part wireless switch system: you also need a compatible AbleNet Beamer transmitter (sold separately) to send the signal. The receiver only works with AbleNet's own Beamer transmitters, so it's not a universal wireless switch solution.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
- Plug the receiver into the switch jack of your switch-accessible device or computer interface.
- Insert batteries (included) and it is ready to pair with a compatible AbleNet Beamer transmitter.
- With professional help
An occupational therapist (OT) or ATP should determine optimal switch placement and confirm the receiver integrates correctly with the existing switch interface or AAC device setup — typically addressed within an existing AT evaluation session.
