The device will vibrate twice, indicating it is charged and ready to use.

Select "Hable One" to start pairing.
If you don't see "Hable One," turn the Hable Easy off and on again.

Your Hable Easy is now ready to use.

Layout

Hold the Hable Easy in front of you with the logo towards you (so upside down) and the buttons facing upwards. The on and off switch is on the right, and the USB-C charging port is on the left. There are 8 buttons in total, arranged in a layout similar to a TV remote. Here's how to identify them:

There are two rows of three round buttons in the center.
Just above these rows, furthest away from you, there is one long oval button – this is Button 8.
Just below the rows, closest to you, there is one more long oval button – this is Button 7.

Now, the round buttons in the center are numbered like this:

Top row, from left to right: Button 6 (left), Button 5 (middle), Button 4 (right)
Bottom row, from left to right: Button 3 (left), Button 2 (middle), Button 1 (right)

So from top (furthest) to bottom (closest):

Button 8 (long button, top)
Buttons 6, 5, 4 (top row of round buttons)
Buttons 3, 2, 1 (bottom row of round buttons)
Button 7 (long button, bottom)

One-handed mode

You can use the Hable Easy with either one hand or two hands. Try both to see which mode works best for you. This section explains how to use the Hable Easy with one hand.

Positioning the Device

The same as in the layout section.
The Hable Easy has one flat side and one side with buttons.
Hold the device with the buttons facing up (towards the ceiling).
The on/off switch should be on the right side, and the USB-C charging port should be on the left.
The Hable logo should be facing you.

Long Press Commands in iOS

In both the one-handed and two-handed modes, Hable Easy now supports long-press commands to help you navigate your iPhone even faster.

Move to the end of the screen: Long-press the swipe-forward gesture.This brings your focus to the bottom of a screen, such as the end of a list or conversation.
Move to the start of the screen: Long-press the swipe backward gesture.This takes you to the top of the screen.
Tap and hold command: Long-press the select gesture. This replicates the “tap and hold” action in VoiceOver and is especially useful for sending voice messages (in Whatsapp) or using app-specific hold gestures.

Example: Sending a Voice Message on WhatsApp

If you'd like to send a voice message on WhatsApp, you can use this tap and hold command:

Navigate to the microphone icon in the chat window.
Long-press the select gesture — recording will start.
Once you're done, do a short press of the select gesture. Your voice message will be sent automatically!

Other Situations Where You Can Use Tap and Hold:

Dragging items (e.g., moving apps on the home screen)
Reordering elements in a list (like Reminders or Notes)
Opening context menus in apps that support long-press actions

These features work in both the one-handed and two-handed modes, so feel free to use the style that suits you best.

Using the Hable Easy with Two Hands

You can use the Hable Easy with either one hand or two hands. Try both to see which mode works best for you. This section explains how to use the Hable Easy with two hands.
