To prevent this,the volume should be set to a safe level. You can become desensitized over time to high sound levels which may thensound acceptable yet still could be damaging your hearing. If you experience symptoms such as ringing in your ears,please lower the volume or stop using the earphones/headphones. The louder the volume, the less time is requiredbefore your hearing could be affected.Hearing experts suggest the following measures to protect your hearing:ͻLimit the amount of time you use earphones or headphones at high volume.ͻAvoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.ͻTurn the volume down if you cannot hear people speaking near you.To establish a safe volume level:ͻSet your volume control at a low setting.ͻSlowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.2.2 TemperatureThis device can be made to operate in two different modes, Portable and Mounted. When the device is in Mountedmode it is allowed to run at a higher temperature; it sets the maximum allowable environmental temperature to its high-est level. The risk with running the device in this mode is that it can reach temperatures in which prolonged use withdirect skin contact may cause permanent bodily harm. Portable mode sets the maximum device temperature shutdown limit to a lower temperature, reducing the risk for permanent bodily harm caused by prolonged exposure to theskin. Only choose Mounted mode when the device is mounted on a wheelchair, table, etc, with a proper mountingsystem.12 2 Safety Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ User͛s manual v.1.0 - en-US
Due to use in direct sunshine or in any other hot environment the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device may have hot surfa-ces. There is a built in temperature sensor that monitors the temperature. If the sensor detects temperatures abovethe temperature specified in Table D.1 Maximum Allowed Temperature, page 87 for portable mode and mountedmode the device will automatically trigger a Windows Shut Down or Hibernate (depending on Windows Power But-ton configuration) to not cause the User any risk of harm. It may take a while before Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ devicecan be restarted as the unit may first need time to cool down.2.3 Power Supply and BatteriesThe Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device uses Lithium Ion batteries. These batteries have a storage temperature range ofbetween -20 ഒ/-4 ഘand 40 ഒ/104 ഘwithin 6 months.If you are in a hot environment, be aware that it can affect the ability to charge the batteries. The internal temperaturehas to be between 0 ഒ/32 ഘand 45 ഒ/113 ഘfor the batteries to charge. If the internal battery temperature raisesabove 45 ഒ/113 ഘthe batteries will not charge at all.Move the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device and the batteries to a cooler environment to let the batteries chargeproperly.Avoid exposing the batteries to fire or to temperatures above 50 ഒ/122 ഘ. These conditions may cause a battery tomalfunction, generate heat, ignite or explode. Be aware that it is possible, in a worst case scenario, for temperaturesto reach greater than those stated above in, for example, the trunk of a car on a hot day. So, storing the device, withbatteries installed, in a hot car trunk could conceivably lead to a malfunction.Do not disassemble or harm the battery.

2.5 EmergencyDo not rely on the device for emergency calls or banking transactions. We recommend having multiple ways to com-municate in emergency situations. Banking transactions should only be carried out with a system recommended by,and approved according to the standards of, your bank.2.6 InfraredThe Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ emits pulsed infrared (IR) light both from the eye tracker and from the EnvironmentalControl Unit. Other devices controlled by IR or susceptible to disturbance by IR light might be affected by the IR lightemitted from the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+. Do not use the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ in the vicinity of such devices iftheir functionality is of critical importance.2.7 EpilepsySome people with Photosensitive Epilepsy are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when ex-posed to certain flashing lights or light patterns in everyday life. This may happen even if the person has no medicalhistory of epilepsy or has never had any epileptic seizures.A person with Photosensitive Epilepsy would also be likely to have problems with TV screens, some arcade games,and flickering fluorescent bulbs. Such people may have a seizure while watching certain images or patterns on a mon-itor, or even when exposed to the light sources of an eye tracker. It is estimated that about 3-5% of people with epi-lepsy have this type of Photosensitive Epilepsy. Many people with Photosensitive Epilepsy experience an "aura" orfeel odd sensations before the seizure occurs. If you feel odd during use, move your eyes away from the eye tracker.2.8 ElectricityDo not open the casing of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device, since you may be exposed to potentially hazardouselectrical voltage. The device contains no serviceable parts.2.9 Child SafetyThe Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ are advanced computer systems and electronic devices. As such they are composed ofnumerous separate, assembled parts. In the hands of a child certain of these parts have the possibility of being sepa-rated from the device, possibly constituting a choking hazard or another danger to the child.Young children should not have access to, or the use of, the device without parental or guardian supervision.2.10 Environmental ControlThe GEWA Programmable IR Remote Control ͶEnvironmental Control Unit (ECU) is not to be relied on as the onlymethod of interaction with IR controlled devices.2.11 Gaze InteractionSome people may experience a certain amount of fatigue (due to intentional eye focusing and hard concentration) oreven a dryness of the eyes (due to less frequent blinking) when first getting used to Gaze Interaction. If you are experi-encing fatigue or dry eyes start off slowly and limit the length of your Gaze Interaction sessions to your comfort level.Remoisturizing eye drops can be helpful to combat dryness.14 2 Safety Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ User͛s manual v.1.0 - en-US

4 Batteries in the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+4.1 BatteriesThe Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device has two battery compartments. The batteries are of the same size and capacity for both theTobii Dynavox Iʹ12+ and Iʹ15+, see Appendix E Technical Specifications, page 88.Figure 4.1 Battery with Indicator for Remaining Capacity4.1.1 Hot SwappableYou can remove/replace one battery without switching off the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device, providing that the remaining bat-tery is sufficiently charged. The remaining battery requires being at least ~10% charged to maintain device operation.Please allow the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device a few seconds to detect the newly inserted battery before removingthe other battery.4.2 ChargingThe batteries shall only be charged using the included adapter, or by using theI-Series Table Charger (not included, separatepurchase required). When the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device is shut down and the adapter is plugged in, the charging of com-pletely discharged batteries may take up to 5 hours. The device can be used while the batteries are being charged, though thismay affect the time a battery takes to reach full capacity.To be sure that charging takes place in both the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device and when using the I-Series TableCharger, be sure to plug the adaptor into both the wall socket and the device or Charger BEFORE you insert thebatteries.The batteries will only charge when its capacity is 95% or lower.The expected battery lifetime is 500 charge/discharge cycles. After that, the capacity of the battery will decrease by about 20%in usage time.For battery storage and charging temperatures, see 2 Safety, page 12 .22 4 Batteries in the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ User͛s manual v.1.0 - en-US
4.2.1 Checking Charge LevelClick on the battery icon, , in the Notification area to see the remaining charge of the battery, which is installed in thedevice.You may also, at any time, check the status of a battery by pressing the indicator button on the face of the battery. Five LEDs(light-emitting diodes) will indicate the remaining charge level. For example, three lit LEDs indicate a 60% remaining charge,see Figure 4.1 Battery with Indicator for Remaining Capacity, page 22.When charging, the highest capacity LED indicator will be blinking.The lowest capacity LED indicator (the "20" LED), will also blink when the indicator button is pressed if the battery͛scapacity has dropped below 10%. So don͛t rely upon the blinking of the 20% indicator as a guarantee for charging.If the batteries have been deeply discharged (this can happen by leaving an empty battery inserted in theTobii Dynavox I-Series+ device without the power adapter connected) you may not see any indication of chargingwhen you reconnect the adapter properly to the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device or the Table Charger. It may takesome time (even up to 20 minutes) before you see an LED indication that any charging is taking place. The battery ISbeing charged during this duration though it is a recovery charge raising the level enough to begin normal charging.4.3 Inserting and Releasing the BatteriesFor safety reasons, the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device is delivered without the batteries inserted. The batteries are deliveredonly partially charged. The Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device can be used right away.

An automatic zoom function is enabled, ending in the selection of the icon or execution ofthe task.ͻSwitch - Two different execution modes.ʹSingle activation of the Switch - the zoom function will execute in the same way as with the Gaze method andaccording to the settings made in the Gaze Selection Settings Dialog, see 8 Gaze Selection Settings, page 73.ʹActivate and hold the Switch - the zoom function will zoom continuously and end only upon the release / deacti-vation of the switch.The Functions Overlay will not perform any zoom.When using the Gaze method, you have to look back to the Taskbar to select a new Task after the execution of theTask, even if it is the same as you have just used.When precision is set to zero in Gaze Selection Settings - no zoom is performed. For more information, see 8 GazeSelection Settings, page 73.5.4.3.4.1 Sticky Tasks & Default Left Click / Tap for SwitchWhen using the Switch method, a feature is made use of called "sticky tasks". If a Task becomes "sticky" it means that you donot have to look back at the Taskbar if you want to repeat the execution of the selected Task, only if you want to change the Taskto another.When using the Switch method, the Left Click / Tap Task is "sticky" by default. This means that Left Click / Tap is always onand will always be activated by the activation of the switch, if nothing else is selected. If another Task is selected it will be activeonly once (for one selection) and then Gaze Selection will automatically default back to Left Click / Tap for the subsequentselections.The exception to this is the Double Click Task; when it is selected when using Switch mode it will also become sticky, meaningthat it will stay selected until another Task is selected (after which it will again default back to Left Click / Tap).This allows for excellent use cases such as quick/continual surfing of the internet by activating the Switch and thus the LeftClick / Tap Task once and then repeatedly selecting anything desired, without having to choose the Left Click /Tap Task againmultiple times.Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ User͛s manual v.1.0 - en-US 5 Using the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ 37
