Power Mate Manual

The Griffin Technology PowerMate is a new genre of computer peripheral, one with almost limitless potential. Its default configuration is audio control for your computer, but it’s also fully programmable to perform virtually any computer function.

Note: Windows PCs, the latest version of PowerBook G4s, iBooks, and current iMacs (Summer 2000 and later) do not support this feature.
