2Introduction
The Tellus 5 is a versatile, dynamic display communication device based on the
Mind Express graphic communication program. The Tellus 5 runs on the Windows 7 operating system.
If you are not familiar with Windows, we advise that you only perform
the actions described in this user guide and in the user guide of the Mind
Express program.
The Tellus 5 has a bright 13.3 inch display with high resolution and a capacitive
touch screen. Switches can be connected directly, and the JabblaIR IR remote
control is an option. During the development of the Tellus 5, a lot of attention
was paid to the casing. Not only is the screen area waterproof, but the design
guarantees optimum acoustics and robust protection of the internal computer
platform. Additional USB ports can be found at the rear and bottom of the
device.
To make optimal use of the Tellus 5, we recommend that you read this user
guide carefully before using the device. A basic knowledge of the Mind Express
program is recommended. The Tellus 5 user guide regularly refers to the use of
Mind Express.

1Safety regulations
When mounting the device to a wheelchair, ensure that the unit is securely fastened and additionally locked, so that it cannot accidentally fall
at the slightest shock or impact.
The device uses a Li-ion battery. Do not dispose of the battery in the usual
way when replacing it. Keep to the waste regulations that apply in your
region. You can always return the battery to your supplier.
If you are not using the device for a longer period of time, always store it
with the battery fully charged. Ensure that the unit is switched off.
Avoid heat sources in the vicinity of the device, or areas that may become
particularly hot. For example, in summer it can become very hot in a car.
Temperatures that are too high may adversely affect the battery life.
The device is not watertight, but it has been designed in such a way that
the screen area is splash-proof. At the rear there are openings for the
loudspeakers that could allow moisture or dirt to enter. This may affect
the quality of the loudspeakers. Always try to avoid situations that could
cause moisture or dirt to enter the loudspeaker openings. Also take
precautions when cleaning the device and always follow the cleaning
instructions.
Do not use the tray stand as a handle for carrying the device! By using the
tray stand as a carrying handle, it may detach from the device, causing
the device to fall and possibly sustain damage.
The Tellus 5 is equipped with WLAN and Bluetooth. Please observe the following safety precautions:
Do not use the device on a plane. Switch off the device.
Do not use the device in the hospital in the vicinity of medical electronic
devices. The transmitted radio waves may affect the equipment.
Do not use the device in an environment where flammable gases are
present (such as gas stations).

1Maintenance
1.1Cleaning the device
Clean the device regularly so bacteria don't get the opportunity to spread.
It is best to remove dust with a dry, soft cloth. For minor stains on the casing,
use a damp cloth. Make sure no moisture can enter through the speaker openings, the microphone opening or the connectors. Any dirt near the connectors can be removed with a cotton bud.
To clean the touch screen, use a dry cloth; do not use kitchen paper as this may
cause tiny scratches. To remove grease or stains from the screen, it is recommended that you use cleaning agents specifically designed for cleaning
screens (aerosol or wipes). Do not press too hard on the screen when cleaning.
It is best to clean the carry case with a dry or slightly damp cloth. The carry case
can also be cleaned with a soft brush.
1.2Repairs
In the event of damage to the device please contact the distributor of the
device, or contact Jabbla's support department.
Do not attempt to carry out any repairs yourself. This could damage the device
and invalidate your warranty.
1.3Replacing the battery
