Charging the Battery
When the battery charge is low, the T10 will emit an audible beep. You should plug in your T10
and recharge the battery immediately.
1. Plug the charger into a wall outlet.
2. Connect the charger to the charger port on the device (Page 4, #10).
The charging indicator, (Page 3, #1) will illuminate while your T10 is charging. The
charging indicator will automatically turn off when it is fully charged.
3. After your T10 is fully charged, disconnect the charger.
You cannot overcharge the battery. It is fine to charge the battery overnight.
You can use the T10 while the battery is charging.
CAUTION
Because of internal chemical reactions, battery performance may deteriorate over time. In
addition, failure to keep the conditions of use (charge, discharge, ambient temperature, etc.)
within specified ranges may shorten the battery life expectancy, or damage your T10. If the battery
cannot maintain a charge for long periods of time, even when it is charged correctly, it may need
to be replaced.
DynaVox T10 User’s Guide 7
Temperature Ranges
For optimal device performance, the T10 should be kept within the following temperature
ranges:
NOTE
Run time will be shortened at the high and low ends of the temperature range.
Mounting/Transporting Your T10
If you use your T10 device while in a wheelchair, you should have it properly mounted for both
communication and transportation purposes. Wheelchair mounting systems are available
through DynaVox.
Protective and accessible carrying cases are also available. Consult the DynaVox website
(www.dynavoxtech.com) or your DynaVox sales consultant for more information.
Product Cleaning/Handling
To clean your T10, first turn it off and then wipe it gently with a damp cloth or soft paper towel.
You may dampen the towel with a mild window cleaner to remove fingerprints, food particles,
and dust.
Do not use tape or stickers on either the touch screen or the case, as they are difficult to
remove and may damage the device surface. Tape, stickers, and other sticky materials can
damage the touch screen and interfere with the operation of the device.
Be sure to avoid getting your T10 wet. Never submerge it in water (e.g., dishwasher). If your
unit accidentally gets wet, be sure to shut it down and allow it dry thoroughly. If after 24 hours
you find that the T10 seems to function normally, there is probably no damage. If it fails to
function or behaves abnormally, contact DynaVox Technical Support at 1-800-344-1778 for
instructions. You may need to ship it to DynaVox for repairs.
Be careful not to drop it. Such treatment is not recommended and can shorten the life of your
T10. Do not use a sharp object to make selections on the touch panel, as this can cause
damage. Use a special capacitive stylus.
CAUTION
Never, under any circumstances, disassemble your T10. Doing so for any reason will void the
warranty, and you will be responsible for the cost of any required repairs.
Activity Temperature Range
Using the T10 14°F - 113°F (-10°C - 45°C)
