You can use a Swifty USB Interface Switch Holder for autoscanning. This switch does not require a Bluetooth connection and works only with the Autoscanaccess method.
 
The Swifty requires the use of a Micro USB On-The-Go Adapter. A Micro USB On-The-Go Adapter has been included in the Swifty kit and also with the Tobii Dynavox T10 at the time of purchase.

The Swifty USB Interface Switch Holder has four white DIP switches on the side opposite its name. Confirm that those DIP switches are set as listed below. If necessary, use one end of a paper clip to adjust the DIP switches.

Set the Dip switches to the following configuration.
