2.1Avoiding 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.
2.2Temperature
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.

2.5Emergency
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.
2.6Infrared — 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.
2.7Epilepsy
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.
2.8Electricity
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.
2.9Child 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.
2.10Environmental 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.
2.11Gaze 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.

4.1Batteries
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
4.1.1Hot 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.
4.2Charging
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

4.2.1Checking 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.
.
4.3Inserting 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

5.1.1Password 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.

5.3.2Track Box
The Tobii I-Series allows for extensive Freedom of Head Movement. Once the I-Series is properly calibrated and placed in front
of the user, no further adjustments are required.
The Tobii I-Series produces an industry leading sized track box with the approximate dimensions of 30 cm × 20 cm × 20 cm /
11.8 in × 7.9 in × 7.9 in (Width × Height × Depth). The Track Box is an invisible box positioned approximately 60 cm (23.5 in)
straight out from a point just above the middle of the screen.
At 70 cm (27.5 in) the I-Series allows for lateral Freedom of Head Movement in an area of about 50 × 36 cm (20 × 14 in).
In order to function properly for Gaze Interaction the user needs at least one eye in the track box at all times.

5.4.3Using Gaze Selection
The Gaze Selection mode of Windows Control makes it possible for the user to control a standard Windows desktop operating
system with a two step selection method which reduces the risks of unwanted clicks. It also prevents the following of the mouse
cursor with your gaze as opposed to the controlling of it (there is no floating mouse cursor in Gaze Selection).
1. The first step is to select the desired Task from the docked Taskbar by looking at it.
2. The second step is to look at the desired portion of the screen (or icon on the screen) where you want to execute the
Task. An automatic zoom function is enabled, ending in the selection of the icon or execution of the task.
5.4.3.1Gaze Selection Taskbar
At the top of the Gaze Selection Taskbar there is a Track Status viewer. It allows you to verify that the eye tracker recognizes your
eyes and that you are well positioned in front of the device.
The Task Buttons in the Gaze Selection Taskbar can be in three different modes as shown in the figure below.
•NNoorrmmaall ((UUnnsseelleecctteedd)) - No Task Button for Gaze Selection is chosen.
•SSeelleecctteedd ((BBlluuee)) - The marked Task Button is selected and the Task will be executed after the automatic zoom when the
user looks at the desired position on the screen or icon on it. If the selection method is set to Switch in the Gaze Selection Settings Dialog, the chosen Task Button will still remain active after executing the Task.
•HHiigghh PPrreecciissiioonn((OOrraannggee)) - Same as SSeelleecctteedd but with a higher precision. HHiigghh PPrreecciissiioonn means that the zoom will
progress deeper before the final execution of the Task, making the desired portion of the screen bigger and easier to select within. Activate this mode by resting your gaze on the Task Button until the color changes according to the image
below.
Task that places the mouse cursor on a desired point/position. Used
for mouse over functions, etc (this is not a "click").
Task that, if performed on a scrollable window, enables a gaze-controlled way to scroll the page
•Select the Task
•Look at any scrollable area and hold your gaze, the Gaze Scroll
icon will appear where you looked
•Look above the icon to scroll up

5.4.3.3Selection Methods
There are two methods to execute the chosen Task. The method of choice is set from within the Gaze Selection Settings Dialog.
Before executing a selection you select a Task from the Taskbar to execute. Gaze at your chosen task until it is highlighted as
"Selected" or "High Precision".
•GGaazzee - To execute the chosen Task, rest your gaze at the desired portion of the screen (or icon on the screen) where
you want to execute the Task. An automatic zoom function is enabled, ending in the selection of the icon or execution of
the task.
•SSwwiittcchh - Two different execution modes.
–SSiinnggllee aaccttiivvaattiioonn ooff tthhee SSwwiittcchh - the zoom function will execute in the same way as with the Gaze method and ac-
cording to the settings made in the Gaze Selection Settings Dialog.
–AAccttiivvaattee aanndd hhoolldd tthhee SSwwiittcchh - the zoom function will zoom continuously and end only upon the release / deactiva-
tion of the switch.
When using the Gaze method, you have to look back to the Taskbar to select a new Task after the execution of the
Task, even if it is the same as you have just used.
5.4.3.3.1Sticky Tasks for Switch
When using the Switch method, the Task buttons will become "sticky" once you select them. This means that you do not have to
look back at the Taskbar if you want to repeat the execution of a selected Task, only if you want to change the Task.
This allows for excellent use cases such as quick/continual surfing of the internet by selecting the Left Click Task once and then
repeatedly selecting anything desired, without having to choose the Left Click Task again.
5.4.3.3.2Activating a Task with a Keyboard button instead of a Switch
Selecting the “Right Click Keyboard Button”,
exactly the same way as a connected switch. For more information on Switches, see

5.4.3.3 Selection Methods, page 24
.
5.4.3.4Gaze Keyboard
By selecting the Gaze Keyboard button on the Taskbar, the Gaze Keyboard will launch as an on-screen keyboard. The Gaze
Keyboard will be positioned either at the top or at the bottom of the screen depending on where the user has placed the last
mouse click (or last cursor position) before launching the Gaze Keyboard. The keyboard will place itself on the opposite side from
where the mouse/cursor is.
The Gaze Keyboard consists of four keyboard pages in a rotating loop. The user can easily switch between the different keyboard pages by selecting the next page buttons located to the far left and right on all pages of the Gaze Keyboard.
The key on the keyboard where the user is looking will be indicated by a light frame around the character/function on the key.
While the user is typing, the last 5-10 characters will be displayedin blue on the indicated/highlightedkey. This feature assists
the user in easily spotting misspellings and reduces the need for looking at the actual spot where the text is inserted, thus increasing typing speed.

Buttons will be "sticky", if you need to deselect a Task just look back at the selected Task for a short moment.
5.4.3.6Gaze Selection with "Windows Full Screen Mode"
When using Gaze Selection to view images, films, and files or to run programs in Windows Full Screen mode the Gaze Selection
Taskbar will be covered.
To be able to exit Windows Full Screen mode without the Taskbar an "Esc" command has been emulated with a Gaze selectable
"X" in the top left corner of anything that is run in Windows Full Screen mode.
To exit Windows Full Screen mode:
•Rest your Gaze for a few moments on the "X" in the top left corner of the screen. The "X" will be highlighted in red while it
is being activated.

7.2.4Improving Calibration Point(s)
After calibration, you may want to improve one or more points.
There is a color scheme used that will help you to understand the quality of your calibration.
All three color statuses are the result of a ssuucccceessssffuull calibration.
•If the background color of the Calibration Result is light red, you have achieved a successful, but relatively low quality calibration. You can improve one or more points individually, or recalibrate completely, to achieve better Gaze Interaction
results.
Improving even one (or more) of the calibrations points can significantly improve the calibration.
•If the background color of the Calibration Result is light yellow, you have achieved successful and good quality calibration. You might be able achieve better Gaze Interaction results by improving one or more points individually.
•If the background color of the Calibration Result is green, you have achieved a successful and high quality calibration.
Be aware that no matter what quality of calibration you have achieved you will be able to select OOKK or AAppppllyy and begin
using Gaze Interaction. It is the accuracy and functionality of the Gaze Interaction that is affected by the quality of the
calibration results. Try for the best calibration possible.
RReemmeemmbbeerr!! In the end it is the personal experience that counts!
The closer the lines within the calibration point are to a dot in the center of the circle of the calibration point, the better the cali-
bration is of that point,

Tobii I-Series User’s manual v.1.0.4 - en-US
i.Freedom of head movement describes the volume in front of the tracker in which the user must have at least one of the eyes. The numbers are
specified parallell/orthogonalto screen surface, assuming eye tracker is at 20 degree angle to screen.
ii.Gaze accuracy describes the angular average distance from the actual gaze point to the one measured by the eye tracker.
Accuracy under ideal conditions is measured with users placed in the center of the eye tracker track box with the head resting on a chin rest, and the
room and screen illumination constant at 300 lux.
Accuracy across head box is measured with users after calibration systematically positioned at varying positions ranging from center of the head box up
to +/- 15 cm horizontal, +/- 10 cm vertical and +/- 10 cm distance.
Accuracy across varying background illumination is measured with users’ head resting on a chin rest, and after calibration modifying background
illumination from 1 to 1000 lux.
iii.Gaze angles describe the quality of gaze accuracy when user looks at the upper two corners of 16:9 ratio screens, @ 60 cm user distance to Eye
Tracker.
iv.Gaze Precision describes the point-to-point variation between individual gaze samples (here specified with binocular data, ie both eyes, and measured
on artificial eyes). Gaze Precision with Stampe filter is with Stampe stage 2 noise-reduction algorithm applied to raw data (Stampe , Behavior Research
Methods, Instruments & Computers 1993, 25 (2), 137-142).
Precision without filter is based on raw data, without any de-noising filter applied, either inside or outside the eye tracker.
Precision under ideal conditions is measured with users placed in the center of the eye tracker track box with the head resting on a chin rest, and the
room and screen illumination constant at 300 lux.
Precision across head box is measured with users after calibration systematically positioned at varying positions ranging from center of the head box up
to +/- 15 cm horizontal, +/- 10 cm vertical and +/- 10 cm distance.
