2 Safety
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device has been tested and approved as compliant to all the Specifications and Standards listed
in Appendix B Compliance Information, page 79 of this manual and in the Appendix E Technical Specifications, page 88 -- in-
cluding, but not limited to, the Medical Device Standard (Class 1/Type B). Nevertheless, in order to ensure safe operation of
your Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device, there are a few safety warnings to bear in mind:
No modification of this equipment is allowed
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ is not to be used as a life supporting Device, and it shall not be relied on in case of loss
of function due to power loss or other causes.
There could be a choking hazard risk if small parts detach from the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device.
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device shall not be exposed to or used in heavy rain or weather conditions outside the
Technical Specification of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device.
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device shall only be used with Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ specific Accessories that have a
mounting instruction included with the accessory.
Young children or people with cognitive disabilities should not have access to, or the use of, the
Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device without parental or guardian supervision.
Do no attach any decorations, post it notes or similar on the screen side of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device, that
may interfere with the Gaze Interaction or touch screen performance.
2.1 Avoiding Hearing Damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones, headphones or speakers are used at high volume. To prevent this,
the volume should be set to a safe level. You can become desensitized over time to high sound levels which may then
sound 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 required
before 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 Temperature
This device can be made to operate in two different modes, Portable and Mounted. When the device is in Mounted
mode 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 with
direct skin contact may cause permanent bodily harm. Portable mode sets the maximum device temperature shut
down limit to a lower temperature, reducing the risk for permanent bodily harm caused by prolonged exposure to the
skin. Only choose Mounted mode when the device is mounted on a wheelchair, table, etc, with a proper mounting
system.
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 above
the temperature specified in Table D.1 Maximum Allowed Temperature, page 87 for portable mode and mounted
mode 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+ device
can be restarted as the unit may first need time to cool down.
2.3 Power Supply and Batteries
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device uses Lithium Ion batteries. These batteries have a storage temperature range of
between -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 temperature
has to be between 0 ഒ/32 ഘand 45 ഒ/113 ഘfor the batteries to charge. If the internal battery temperature raises
above 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 charge
properly.
Avoid exposing the batteries to fire or to temperatures above 50 ഒ/122 ഘ. These conditions may cause a battery to
malfunction, generate heat, ignite or explode. Be aware that it is possible, in a worst case scenario, for temperatures
to reach greater than those stated above in, for example, the trunk of a car on a hot day. So, storing the device, with
batteries installed, in a hot car trunk could conceivably lead to a malfunction.
Do not disassemble or harm the battery. Pay attention to the environmental laws and regulations which apply in your
area when disposing of batteries.
For safe operation of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device, use only charger, batteries and accessories approved by
Tobii Technology.
Do not open, or modify, the metal casing of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device or of the power supply, since you may
be exposed to potentially hazardous electrical voltage. The device contains no serviceable parts. If the
Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device or it͛s accessories are mechanically damaged, do not to use them.
If the batteries are not charged or the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ is not powered up by the power supply, the
Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device will shut down.
If the Power Supply Cord is damaged, replaceable by Service Personnel only
Do not connect any devices with a non-medical grade power supply to any connector on the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+
device.
The appliance coupler of the power supply or separable plug is used as the Mains Disconnection Device, please do
not to position the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device so that it is difficult to operate the disconnection device.

Some 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 medical
history 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" or
feel odd sensations before the seizure occurs. If you feel odd during use, move your eyes away from the eye tracker.
2.8 Electricity
Do not open the casing of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device, since you may be exposed to potentially hazardous
electrical voltage. The device contains no serviceable parts.
2.9 Child Safety
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ are advanced computer systems and electronic devices. As such they are composed of
numerous 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 Control
The GEWA Programmable IR Remote Control ͶEnvironmental Control Unit (ECU) is not to be relied on as the only
method of interaction with IR controlled devices.
2.11 Gaze Interaction
Some people may experience a certain amount of fatigue (due to intentional eye focusing and hard concentration) or
even 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.

4 Batteries in the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+
4.1 Batteries
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device has two battery compartments. The batteries are of the same size and capacity for both the
Tobii Dynavox Iʹ12+ and Iʹ15+, see Appendix E Technical Specifications, page 88.
Figure 4.1 Battery with Indicator for Remaining Capacity
4.1.1 Hot Swappable
You 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 removing
the other battery.
4.2 Charging
The batteries shall only be charged using the included adapter, or by using theI-Series Table Charger (not included, separate
purchase 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 this
may 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 Table
Charger, be sure to plug the adaptor into both the wall socket and the device or Charger BEFORE you insert the
batteries.
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 .

Click on the battery icon, , in the Notification area to see the remaining charge of the battery, which is installed in the
device.
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 battery͛s
capacity 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 the
Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device without the power adapter connected) you may not see any indication of charging
when you reconnect the adapter properly to the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device or the Table Charger. It may take
some time (even up to 20 minutes) before you see an LED indication that any charging is taking place. The battery IS
being charged during this duration though it is a recovery charge raising the level enough to begin normal charging.
4.3 Inserting and Releasing the Batteries
For safety reasons, the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device is delivered without the batteries inserted. The batteries are delivered
only partially charged. The Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ device can be used right away. It is nevertheless recommended that the bat-
teries are charged for at least two hours before using the device.

Gaze Interaction enables you to control the computer with your eyes using either Gaze Enabled applications (like
Tobii Dynavox Communicator /Tobii DynaVox Compass) or through the two types of Windows Control. See 5.4.1 Windows
Control Type, page 28.
5.3.1 Positioning
Figure 5.1 Positioning
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ is designed to work optimally when it is parallel to the user͛s eyes at a distance of about 60 cm
(23.5 inches), see Figure 5.1 Positioning, page 26.
Figure 5.2 Positioning when Users Leaning Sideways or Those Lying Down
This means that for those users leaning sideways or those lying down the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ also needs to be tilted in or-
der to keep the users eyes parallel to the screen and at the optimal distance, see Figure 5.2 Positioning when Users Leaning
Sideways or Those Lying Down, page 26.
Make sure the user is placed comfortably in relation to the optimal positioning of, and distance from, the unit. Be
aware also that the user͛s comfort, as well as the Gaze Interaction performance, will be enhanced if the sun is not
shining directly on the screen or into the user͛s eyes.
The user should be positioned at the optimal distance to allow for the best possible Gaze Interaction.
5.3.2 Track Box
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ allows for extensive Freedom of Head Movement. Once the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ is properly
calibrated and placed in front of the user, no further adjustments are required.
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ produces an industry leading sized track box with the approximate dimensions of 30 cm × 20 cm
× 20 cm / 11.8 in × 7.9 in × 7.9 in (Width × Height × Depth). The Track Box is an invisible box positioned approximately 60
cm (23.5 in) straight out from a point just above the middle of the screen.
26 5 Using the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ User͛s manual v.1.0 - en-US
At 70 cm (27.5 in) the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ allows for lateral Freedom of Head Movement in an area of about 50 × 36 cm

system with a two step selection method which reduces the risks of unwanted clicks. It also prevents the following of the mouse
cursor with your gaze as opposed to the controlling of it (there is no floating mouse cursor in Gaze Selection).
1. The first step is to select the desired Task from the docked Taskbar by looking at it.
2. The second step is to look at the desired portion of the screen (or icon on the screen) where you want to execute the
Task. An automatic zoom function is enabled, ending in the selection of the icon or execution of the task.
All functions in Gaze Selection are Touch and Mouse enabled which makes it easier for a Caregiver or Assistant to
help the user if needed. The Caregiver or Assistant can select a Function/Task or change the settings for the user
much easier.
5.4.3.1 Gaze Selection Taskbar
At the top of the Gaze Selection Taskbar there is a Track Status viewer. It allows you to verify that the eye tracker recognizes
your eyes and that you are well positioned in front of the device.
The Task Buttons in the Gaze Selection Taskbar can be in three different modes as shown in Figure 5.3 The Modes for the
Gaze Selection Taskbar, page 30.
ͻNormal (Unselected) - No Task Button for Gaze Selection is chosen.
ͻPrimary Selection (Blue/black) - The marked Task Button is selected and the Task will be executed after the auto-
matic zoom when the user looks at the desired position on the screen or icon on it. If the selection method is set to

Apps at the same time. This feature is limited to the resolution of screen of the device, see Table 5.1 Number of Apps on Screen
Windows 8.1, page 33 for information on how many Apps are possible to run on which screen resolution in Windows 8.1. The
lowest resolution needed to be able to Snap Windows is 1024×768 (Windows 8.1) and 1366×768 (Windows 8.0).

5.4.3.4 Selection Methods ͶGaze and Switch
There are two methods to execute the chosen Task. The method of choice is set from within the Gaze Selection Settings Dialog,
see 8 Gaze Selection Settings, page 73.
Before executing a selection you select a Task from the Taskbar to execute. Gaze at your chosen task until it is highlighted as
͞Primary͟or ͞Secondary Selection͟.
ͻGaze - To execute the chosen Task, rest your gaze at the desired portion of the screen (or icon on the screen) where
you want to execute the Task. An automatic zoom function is enabled, ending in the selection of the icon or execution of
the 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 and
according 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 the
Task, 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 Gaze
Selection Settings, page 73.
5.4.3.4.1 Sticky Tasks & Default Left Click / Tap for Switch
When using the Switch method, a feature is made use of called "sticky tasks". If a Task becomes "sticky" it means that you do
not 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 Task
to another.
When using the Switch method, the Left Click / Tap Task is "sticky" by default. This means that Left Click / Tap is always on
and will always be activated by the activation of the switch, if nothing else is selected. If another Task is selected it will be active
only once (for one selection) and then Gaze Selection will automatically default back to Left Click / Tap for the subsequent
selections.
The exception to this is the Double Click Task; when it is selected when using Switch mode it will also become sticky, meaning
that 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 Left
Click / Tap Task once and then repeatedly selecting anything desired, without having to choose the Left Click /Tap Task again
multiple times.

5.4.3.4.2 Activating a Task with a Keyboard button instead of a Switch
Selecting the ͞F12 Keyboard Button͟,, on an attached keyboard will activate a Task selection. It can be used in exactly
the same way as a connected switch. For more information on Switches, see 5.4.3.4 Selection Methods ͶGaze and Switch,
page 37.
5.4.3.5 Gaze Keyboard
By selecting the Gaze Keyboard button on the Taskbar, the Gaze Keyboard will launch as an on-screen keyboard. The Gaze
Keyboard will be positioned either at the top or at the bottom of the screen depending on where the user has placed the last
mouse click (or last cursor position) before launching the Gaze Keyboard. The keyboard will place itself on the opposite side
from where the mouse/cursor is.
The Gaze Keyboard consists of four keyboard pages in a rotating loop. The user can easily switch between the different key-
board pages by selecting the next page buttons located to the far left and right on all pages of the Gaze Keyboard.
The key on the keyboard where the user is looking will be indicated by a light frame around the character/function on the key.
While the user is typing, the last 5-10 characters will be displayed in blue on the indicated/highlighted key. This feature assists
the user in easily spotting misspellings and reduces the need for looking at the actual spot where the text is inserted, thus in-
creasing typing speed.
The four keyboard pages are:

Figure 5.10 Second Page to the Right or Left
Figure 5.11 First Page to the Left
The Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Win and Alt Gr keys will become "sticky" once selected. This means that they will stay selected un-
til the user selects a new key from the keyboard. They will stay sticky if the next selected key is another sticky key.
To write a letter with an accent:
1. Select the accent
2. Select the character
3. The character will appear with the chosen accent.
To delete a full word at a time instead of one character at a time:
1. Select the Ctrl key
2. Select the Backspace key
5.4.3.6 Gaze Selection in Combination with Region Based Keyboards
Gaze Selection can be used in combination with other eye controlled applications. "Gaze Enabled" regions in other applications
are active as long as there is no active Task in the Gaze Selection Toolbar. If you are using Gaze Selection with switch the Task
Buttons will be "sticky", if you need to deselect a Task just look back at the selected Task for a short moment.
