The warranty is only valid if the device is used according to the User’s Manual and the warranty seal is not broken. Disassembling the C-Series device will void the warranty.
8Tobii C-Series User’s ManualSafety2Chapter 2 SafetyThe C-Series device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. The C-Series device may emit electromagnetic waves, which can cause harmful interference to radio communications, especially if the device is not installed and used in accordance with this User’s Manual. If you experience interference in your radio or television communications, shut the C- Series device down. If the interference persists after restarting the device, try one or more of the following measures:• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.• Consult the dealer or a qualied radio/TV technician for help.Modications not expressly approved by Tobii Technology could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment under the FCC rules.The SAR (Specic Absorbtion Rate) limit as dictated by the FCC (in the USA) is 1.6W/kg averaged over 1 gram of tissue. In Europe/EU (CE regulations) it is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue. The Devices, Tobii C8 (FCC ID: W5MTOBIIC8), Tobii C12 (FCC ID: W5MTOBIIC12) and Tobii C15 (FCC ID:W5MTOBIIC15) have been tested against these SAR limits to maintain compliance with FCC/CE RF exposure requirements.To ensure safe operation of your C-Series device, please note the following: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 0°C and 50°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
9Tobii C-Series User’s ManualChapter 2 Safetyaware 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 the metal casing of the C-Series device, since you may be exposed to potentially hazardous electrical voltage. The device contains no serviceable parts.2.1 Avoiding Hearing DamagePermanent 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:• 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 WarningThe C-Series devices should be mounted according to instructions for approved mounts or mounting brackets. However, should the device for
10Tobii C-Series User’s ManualChapter 2 Safetyany 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 WarningDo 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 WarningWhen 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. 2.5 Epilepsy WarningSome 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 SafetyThe 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.

14Tobii C-Series User’s Manual4.1 BatteriesThe 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 SwappableYou can remove/replace one battery without switching off the device, providing that the remaining battery is sufciently charged. The remaining battery requires being at least 5% charged to maintain device operation.4.2 ChargingThe 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 temperatures.Batteries in the Tobii C-Series4Chapter 4 Batteries in the Tobii C-Series
15Tobii C-Series User’s Manual4.2.1 Checking Charge LevelClick 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 AreaYou 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. 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. Chapter 3 Batteries in the Tobii C-Series
16Tobii C-Series User’s Manual4.3 Inserting and Releasing the BatteriesFor safety reasons, the C-Series device is delivered without the batteries inserted.
