Tobii C-Series User’s Manual
Thank you for purchasing a Tobii C-Series device from Tobii Technology!
To ensure the optimal performance of this product, please take the time to
read this manual carefully.
The C-Series device is available in three different sizes: the Tobii C8 with
an 8.4” screen, the Tobii C12 with a 12.1” screen and the Tobii C15 with a
15.0” screen. The Tobii C12 and C15 can be used with the Tobii CEye, to
enable eye control of the device.
This User’s Manual covers:
• The C-Series device, models Tobii C8, Tobii C12 and Tobii C15.
• The C-Series Hardware Options program (for controlling the
device and licenses).
• Tobii CEye (eye tracking module including Windows Control). Tobii
CEye is optional equipment and is only used with the Tobii C12 and
C15.
1.1 Intended Use
A variety of communication methods allow Tobii C-Series users the
ability to achieve their full potential. A user can communicate via text or
symbols to generate synthesized (computer voice) or digitized (recorded
voice) speech for face-to-face communication. A user also has the option
of communication through e-mail, text messages and chat. With the
Tobii C-Series, users also have the freedom and exibility to write and
edit documents, surf the Internet, play music and games, control a TV,
DVD and other household appliances via IR remote control and even
plan and manage their time – making independence easy. The C-Series
devices are available both as a dedicated Speech Generating Devices, with
communications software access only, or as open devices with access to
the regular Windows environment.
The C-Series device is not intended as sole communication means for
a user but as a complementary communication solution. Low-tech and
no-tech Assistive and Alternative Communication (AAC) solutions used
as additional methods are recommended as best practice for any person
utilizing a high-tech AAC device.

Tobii C-Series User’s Manual
The C-Series device has been tested and approved as compliant
to all the Specications and Standards listed in the 8.3 Appendix
C: Compliance Information section of this manual and in the
8.4 Appendix D: Technical Specications section -- including,
but not limited to, the Medical Device Standard (Class 1/ Type
B). Nevertheless, in order to ensure safe operation of your Tobii
C-series device, there are a few safety warnings to bear in mind:
Do not place the device on your lap, a pillow or any other soft material
when it is powered on, since the material can block the fan and cause the
device to overheat.
The C-Series device contains Lithium Ion batteries. These batteries have
a storage temperature range of between -20°C and 40°C within 3 month.
Only charge the batteries in the temperature range of between 0°C and
40°C. Avoid exposing the batteries to re or to temperatures above 50°C
(122°F). 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 C-Series device, use only charger, batteries and
accessories approved by Tobii Technology.
Do not open, or modify, the metal casing of the C-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 C-Series device or
it’s accessories are mechanically damaged, do not try to use them.
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
Safety2
Chapter 2 Safety

Tobii C-Series User’s Manual
Chapter 2 Safety
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:
• Limit the amount of time you use earphones or headphones at high
volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you cannot hear people speaking near
you.
To establish a safe volume level:
1. Set your volume control at a low setting.
2. Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, without distortion.
2.2 Mounting Warning
The C-Series devices should be mounted according to instructions for
approved mounts or mounting brackets. However, should the device for
any reason harm or damage someone or something due to falling, neither
Tobii Technology nor any of its representatives will be responsible or liable
for any damages or injuries which may arise. The mounting of devices from
the C-Series is done entirely at the user’s own risk.
2.3 Emergency Warning
Do not rely on the device for emergency calls or banking transactions.
We recommend having multiple ways to communicate in emergency
situations. Banking transactions should only be carried out with a system
recommended by, and approved according to the standards of, your bank.
2.4 Infrared Warning
When activated, the Tobii CEye emits pulsed infrared (IR) light. Certain
medical devices are susceptible to disturbance by IR light and/or radiation.
Do not use the CEye when in the vicinity of such susceptible medical
devices as their accuracy or proper functionality could be inhibited.

Tobii C-Series User’s Manual
2.5 Epilepsy Warning
Some people with Photosensitive Epilepsy are susceptible to epileptic
seizures or loss of consciousness when exposed to certain ashing 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 ickering uorescent
bulbs. Such people may have a seizure while watching certain images or
patterns on a monitor, or even when exposed to the light sources of an eye
tracker. It is estimated that about 3-5% of people with epilepsy 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.
2.6 Child Safety
The C-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 separated
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.

4.1 Batteries
The C-Series device has two battery compartments. The batteries for the
Tobii C8 differ in size and capacity from those of the Tobii C12 and C15, see
the Appendix C: Technical Specications.
Tobii C8 batteries:
• Standard, included.
Tobii C12 and C15 batteries:
• Standard, included.
4.1.1 Hot Swappable
You can remove/replace one battery without switching off the device,
providing that the remaining battery is sufciently charged. The remaining
battery requires being at least 5% charged to maintain device operation.
4.2 Charging
The batteries should only be charged using the included adapter, or by
using the Tobii C-Series Table Charger (not included, separate purchase
required). When the C-Series device is shut down and the adapter is
plugged in, the charging of completely discharged batteries may take up to 6
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 C-Series device
and when using the C-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 expected battery lifetime is 500 charge/discharge cycles. After that, the
capacity of the battery will decrease by about 20% in usage time.
See Safety chapter for battery storage and charging temperatures.

4.2.1 Checking Charge Level
Click on the battery icon, , in the Notication area to see the remaining
charge of the battery, which is installed in the device.
Notication Area
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.
100 80 60 40 20
Push
Indicator button and LED’s
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 battery’s capacity has dropped below
10%. So don’t 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 C-Series device without the power adapter
connected) you may not see any indication of charging when you reconnect
the adapter properly to the C-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.
