Introduction1
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

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
Safety2
The C-Series device has been tested and approved as compliant
to all the Specications and Standards listed in the 8.3 Appendix
C: Compliance Information section of this manual and in the
8.4 Appendix D: Technical Specications 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
Chapter 2 Safety

Tobii C-Series User’s Manual
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.
