   How does clap detection work?

   • To help you along, the Clapper has a set of three "clap detection" lights. Whenever a clap is heard, a light glows. Claps that are too soft or too fast will be rejected by the Clapper -- and the light will fail to glow. If, for some reason, your claps keep getting rejected as noise, the Clapper will automatically reduce its sound sensitivity.
