1 Introduction
Tobii I-Series User’s manual v.1.0.4 - en-US
2 Safety
The I-Series device has been tested and approved as compliant to all the Specifications and Standards listed in
Compliance Information, page 64
limited to, the Medical Device Standard (Class 1/Type B). Nevertheless, in order to ensure safe operation of your Tobii I-Series
device, there are a few safety warnings to bear in mind:
NNoo mmooddiiffiiccaattiioonn ooff tthhiiss eeqquuiippmmeenntt iiss aalllloowweedd
The 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 I-Series device.
The I-Series device shall not be exposed to or used in heavy rain or weather conditions outside the Technical Specification of the I-Series device.
The I-Series device shall only be used with 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 I-Series device without parental or guardian supervision.

the Gaze Interaction or touch screen performance.
of this manual and in the
Appendix E Technical Specifications, page 73

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:
• 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:
• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly 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 highest 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.
Tobii I-SeriesUser’s manual v.1.0.4 - en-US

Due to use in direct sunshine or in any other hot environment the I-Series device may have hot surfaces. 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 72
matically trigger a Windows Shut Down or Hibernate (depending on Windows Power Button configuration) to not
cause the User any risk of harm. It may take a while before I-Series device can be restarted as the unit may first need
time to cool down.
2.3 Power Supply and Batteries
The I-Series device uses Lithium Ion batteries. These batteries have a storage temperature range of between -20
℃/-4 ℉ and 40 ℃/104 ℉ within 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 ℃/32 ℉ and 45 ℃/113 ℉ for the batteries to charge. If the internal battery temperature raises
above 45 ℃/113 ℉ the batteries will not charge at all.
Move the 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 ℃/122 ℉. 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 I-Series device, use only charger, batteries and accessories approved by Tobii Technology.
for portable mode and mounted mode the device will auto-
Do not open, or modify, the metal casing of the 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 I-Series device or it’s accessories are mechanically damaged, ddoo nnoott ttoo uussee tthheemm.
If the batteries are not charged or the I-Series is not powered up by the power supply, the 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 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 I-Series device so that it is difficult to operate the disconnection device.
Special regulations apply to shipping Lithium-ion batteries. If dropped, crushed, or short-circuited, these batteries can
release dangerous amounts of heat and may ignite, and are dangerous in fires.
Please reference IATA regulations when shipping lithium metal or lithium ion batteries or cells:

2.4 Mounting
The I-Series should be mounted according to MANUFACTURERinstructions of approved mounts. Tobii Technology
or its agents are not liable for damage or injuries to a person or its property due to a I-Series falling from a mounted
configuration. The mounting of a I-Series is done entirely at the user’s own risk.

Tobii I-Series User’s manual v.1.0.4 - en-US
2.5 Emergency
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.
2.6 Infrared — Eye Tracker
When activated, the Tobii I-Series emits pulsed infrared (IR) light. Certain medical devices are susceptible to disturbance by IR light and/or radiation. Do not use the I-Series when in the vicinity of such susceptible medical devices as
their accuracy or proper functionality could be inhibited.
2.7 Epilepsy
Some people with PPhhoottoosseennssiittiivvee EEppiilleeppssyy are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when exposed 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 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.
2.8 Electricity
Do not open the casing of the I-Series device, since you may be exposed to potentially hazardous electrical voltage.
The device contains no serviceable parts.
2.9 Child Safety
The 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 possibilityof 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.
2.10 Environmental Control
The GEWA Programmable IR Remote Control — Environmental 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 experiencing 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 I-Series
Pus h
4.1 Batteries
The I-Series device has two battery compartments. The batteries are of the same size and capacity for both the Tobii I–12 and
I–15, see
Appendix E Technical Specifications, page 73
.
FFiigguurree 44..11 Battery with Indicator for Remaining Capacity
4.1.1 Hot Swappable
You can remove/replace one battery without switching off the I-Series device, providing that the remaining battery is sufficiently
charged. The remaining battery requires being at least ~10% charged to maintain device operation.
Please allow the 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 the Tobii I-Series Table Charger (not included, separate purchase required). When the I-Series device is shut down and the adapter is plugged in, the charging of completely 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 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 BEFOREyou 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.
For battery storage and charging temperatures, see
2 Safety, page 5

4.2.1 Checking Charge Level
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 15
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 I-Series device without the power adapter connected) you may not see any indication of charging when you reconnect the adapter properly to the 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 I-Series device is delivered without the batteries inserted. The batteries are delivered only partially
charged. The I-Series device can be used right away. It is nevertheless recommended that the batteries are charged for at least
two hours before using the device.

).
Appendix C Computer Device States of Operation, page 70
5.1.1 Password Information
The I-Series device is configured to start up, using the operating system present, without a password. Though unusual, there are
situations in which the password window could plausibly pop up; for example, when creating a new user in the operating system,
when returning from the operating system’s sleep mode or when downloading software updates from the internet.
Creating a new windows user and downloading updates from the internet could possibly compromise the system and
software settings of the operating system that have been set and installed at Tobii Technology.
Should the password window pop up, requiring a password, the default password on all I-Series devices is, "TToobbiiii" (case sensitive). In order to type in the password use the Windows On-Screen Keyboard or an external USB keyboard (not included).
If you decide to change the password, be sure to write it down in a safe place for later use.
Suggested place to keep new password: ________________________
Without the operating system’s access password, Tobii Support may be unable to assist you with any future difficulties.

5.1.2 I-Series Welcome Guide
When you start your I-Series Device for the first time you will be greeted by the I-Series Welcome Guide. The guide is a setup
wizard that will walk you through some steps that will help you make the most of your device.
Follow the instructions and select on NNeexxtt to get to the next page of the Guide.
5.2 Shutting Down the Device
The device should be shut down using one of the following ways:
• Use the start menu in Windows (recommended when possible).
• Press a configured Switch for two to seven seconds.
Pressing the Switch for more than 7 seconds will shut down the device immediately, disregarding any unsaved
changes.
Should you be unable to shut the device down using either of the above, you can hold the power button on the right side of the
device down for seven seconds. The device will consequently shut down immediately, without waiting for open applications to
close.
This will not work if the side buttons have been disabled in the I-Series Control Center. For more information, see
6.1.2 Disable All Buttons, page 34
This is not considered a "clean" Windows shut down and is thus not recommended unless completely necessary.
