  • To enable the accessibility setting, turn ON the toggle

  • If you wish to enable accessibility for the entire account, meaning any new system created will have accessibility settings turned ON by default (not apply on already existing systems), check the relevant checkbox

  • There will be no option to turn it OFF independently; contact support if you want accessibility to be disabled
