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 Tobii 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 Tobii I-Series device, since you may be exposed to potentially hazardous electrical voltage. The device contains no serviceable parts.
2.9Child Safety
The Tobii 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 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.
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.

.
FFiigguurree 44..11 Battery with Indicator for Remaining Capacity
4.1.1Hot Swappable
You can remove/replace one battery without switching off the Tobii 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 Tobii 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 Tobii 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 Tobii I-Series device and when using the Tobii 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 batteries will only charge when its capacity is 95% or lower.
The expected battery lifetime is 500 charge/discharge cycles. After that, the capacity of the battery will decrease by about 20%
in usage time.

FFiigguurree 55..22 Positioning when Users Leaning Sideways or Those Lying Down
This means that for those users leaning sideways or those lying down the Tobii I-Series also needs to be tilted in order to keep
the users eyes parallel to the screen and at the optimal distance, see
Those Lying Down, page 19
Make sure the user is placed comfortably in relation to the optimal positioning of, and distance from, the unit. Be aware
also that the user’s comfort, as well as the Gaze Interaction performance, will be enhanced if the sun is not shining directly on the screen or into the user’s eyes.
The user should be positioned at the optimal distance to allow for the best possible Gaze Interaction.

5.3.2Track Box
The Tobii I-Series allows for extensive Freedom of Head Movement. Once the Tobii 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 Tobii 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.

5.3.3Track Status Viewer
Use the Track Status viewer (see
viewer) to help determine the optimal height and horizontal positioning for Gaze Interaction with the Tobii I-Series.
•Ideally, the two dots that represent the user’s eyes should be in the middle of the Track Status viewer.
•Use the distance meter on the right hand side of the Track Status viewer to determine the optimal distance the user
should be from the Tobii I-Series.
•The white triangle in the distance meter should hover near the center, within the green, when the optimal distance from
the Tobii I-Series is reached.
For information about calibration of the Tobii I-Series see
related to what is mentioned above, when calibrating.

The PPoossiittiioonniinngg gguuiiddee is a visual guide that combines the function of the Track Status viewer with six different image based instructions to help the user with correct positioning.
The 6 instructions direct the user to:
1. Move head down.
2. Move head up.
3. Move head to the right.
