The ResponseCard NXT clicker is designed so that you receive visual confirmation of input. The LCD screen displays the response selected, channel setting, and battery life.

The ResponseCard is the size of a credit card and provides the features and functionality required to ensure selections are accurate, timely, and effortlessly transmitted to the presenter’s receiver. Its lightweight, rugged, and durable enclosure allows it to be easily transported from room to room or around the globe for optimum portability. The ResponseCard NXT is fully compatible with PointSolutions software.

NXT clickers ship with a plastic tab in the battery compartment to preserve battery life. Before using your clicker, remove the battery cover and remove the tab.

Press any button to wake up your clicker. It will shut off automatically after several minutes.
