1.3 Intended Use

The Tobii M-Series is an Assistive and Alternative Communication (AAC) product, a purpose built Speech Generating Device
(SGD) designed to provide to its users increased communication ability and greater independence.

The Tobii M-Series is intended primarily to provide, and act as, a compliment to everyday communication for people, often ambu­latory, that have challenges in their ability to speak due to injury, disability or illness.

This intended use is reflected in design features such as high mobility and durability, long lasting batteries, superior sound quality
and connectivity features. The Tobii M-Series can be operated in various ways, either through direct selection on the
touchscreen or a variety of other means, compensating for potential motor skill limitation of the use.

The Tobii M-Series is designed primarily for direct face-to-face communication, using recorded speech, synthetic speech or the
device display as communication modality. The device can potentially also serve the purpose of long-distance communication via
e-mail or internet chat, if network connections are available and no other restrictions apply. The conveyed messages can be com­posed by using symbols, text or a combination of both; various highly configurable user interfaces for the purpose of this commu­nication are pre-installed.

The Tobii M-Series meets the definition for durable medical equipment; and is registered as a Medical device. The
Tobii M-Series is available as a dedicated (locked) Speech Generating Device.

The Tobii M-Series device does not sustain or support life.

In case of failure of the Tobii M-Series device, the user cannot communicate using it.

Intended use is primarily indoor environment.

– including, but not
limited to, the 93/42/EEC(MDD) - Medical Device Directive. Nevertheless, in order to ensure safe operation of your
Tobii M-Series device, there are a few safety warnings to bear in mind:

NNoo mmooddiiffiiccaattiioonn ooff tthhiiss eeqquuiippmmeenntt iiss aalllloowweedd

The Tobii M-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 Tobii M-Series device.

The Tobii M-Series device shall not be exposed to or used in rain or weather conditions outside the Technical Specifi­cation of the Tobii M-Series device.

The Tobii M-Series device shall only be used with Tobii M-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 Tobii M-Series device
without parental or guardian supervision.

The Tobii M-Series device shall be used with care when moving around.

The Tobii M-Series device shall not be used to control machines or other equipment.

Do not install other software on the Tobii M-Series device to control surrounding equipment.

Do not connect the Tobii M-Series device or its components to any external equipment in any other way than by using

Appendix D Approved Accessories, page 23

.

Do no attach any decorations, Post-it® notes or similar to the screen side of the Tobii M-Series device. Doing so may
interfere with the touch screen performance.

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 Power Supply and Batteries

The Tobii M-Series device uses Lithium Ion batteries. The 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 50 ℃/122 ℉ for the batteries to charge. If the internal battery temperature raises
above 50 ℃/122 ℉ the battery will not charge at all.

Move the Tobii M-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.

Only charge the Tobii M-Series batteries in an ambient temperature of 0 ℃/32 ℉ to 35 ℃/95 ℉.

Use only the supplied power adapter to charge the Tobii M-Series tablet. Using unauthorized power adapters or Mi­cro-USB cables may severely damage the Tobii M-Series tablet.

Do not disassemble or harm the batteries. Pay attention to the environmental laws and regulations which apply in your
area when disposing of batteries.

For safe operation of the Tobii M-Series device, use only charger, batteries and accessories approved by Tobii
Technology.

Do not open, or modify, the metal casing of the Tobii M-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 Tobii M-Series device
or it’s accessories are mechanically damaged, ddoo nnoott ttoo uussee tthheemm.

If the batteries are not charged or the Tobii M-Series is not connected to the power supply, the Tobii M-Series device
will shut down.

If the Power Supply Cord is damaged it needs to be replaced by Service Personnel only. Do not use the Power Supply
Cord until replaced.

Only connect the Tobii M-Series to the Power adapters shipped with this device.

The appliance coupler of the power supply is used as the Mains Disconnection Device, please do not position the
Tobii M-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:

http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/cargo/dangerous_goods/Pages/lithium_batteries.aspx

The Power adapters shall not be used without an adult or Care giver supervision.

The Tobii M-Series device contains rechargeable batteries. All rechargeable batteries degrade over time. Thus the
possible usage times for the Tobii M-Series after a full charge can become shorter over time than when the device
was new.

2.3 Mounting

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

Do not open the casing of the Tobii M-Series Bluetooth® Speaker.

2.6 Child Safety

The Tobii M-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.

2.7 Software

Using an antivirus program is strongly recommended.

Software other than that which is pre-installed on the Tobii M-Series is installed at the user's own risk. External soft­ware could cause the Tobii M-Series to malfunction and might not be covered by the warranty.

2.8 Magnetic Field

The Tobii M-Series Case and the Bluetooth® Speaker contains magnets. Magnetic fields may interfere with pace­makers, defibrillators, or other medical devices. As a general rule, maintain a minimum distance of 6 inches (15 centi­meters) between any item with magnets and your heart device.

If you suspect that the Tobii M-Series device is interfering with your pacemaker or any other medical device, stop using

5 Using the Tobii M-Series

No skill other then reading is necessary for setting up the Tobii M-Series device. Follow this User´s Manual and the Quick Start
Manual.

5.1 Starting the Device

Start the device in one of the following ways:

• Press the power button on the right side of the device (if held in "Portrait Mode"). (Position 6 in

Figure 3.1 Tobii M-Series

Tablet, page 10

)

5.1.1 Password Information

The Tobii M-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 Tobii M-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 Tobii M-Series Welcome Guide

When you start your Tobii M-Series Device for the first time you will be greeted by the Tobii M-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 NNeexxtt to get to the next page of the Guide.

5.2 Shutting Down the Tobii M-Series

5.2.1 Shutting Down the Tobii M-Series from Tobii Communicator

The device should be shut down using one of the following ways:

• From within Tobii Communicator

• Use the start menu in Windows (recommended when possible).

Should you be unable to shut the device down using the above, you can hold the power button on the right side of the device
down for seven seconds (on the right if held in Portrait Mode). The device will consequently shut down immediately, without wait­ing for open applications to close.

This is not considered a "clean" Windows shut down and is thus not recommended unless completely necessary be­cause it can harm you device.

5.2.2 Shutting Down the Tobii M-Series from DynaVox Compass

The device should be shut down using the following:

• Use the start menu in Windows (recommended when possible).

down for seven seconds (on the right if held in Portrait Mode). The device will consequently shut down immediately, without wait­ing for open applications to close.

This is not considered a "clean" Windows shut down and is thus not recommended unless completely necessary be­cause it can harm you device.

5.3 Power Saving

The Power saving settings in theTobii M-Series tablet are preset to optimize the battery run-time. If needed, the time setting for
sleep mode can be adjusted in Windows Power Options.

5.4 Using the Cameras

The two built-in cameras allows you to take snapshots of items in front of the Tobii M-Series device and also from the display
side.

Use TToobbiiii CCoommmmuunniiccaattoorr or other relevant software to operate the cameras.

5.5 Adjusting the Volume

To adjust the volume use the Volume Up and Down buttons (Position 7) on right hand side of the Tobii M-Series device. For po­sition references, see

Figure 3.1 Tobii M-Series Tablet, page 10

Volume adjustments can also be done in TToobbiiii CCoommmmuunniiccaattoorr oorr DDyynnaaVVooxx CCoommppaassss and in Windows.

The Bluetooth speaker has its own independent volume control. The independent volume control on the speaker can
not be controlled from the Windows environment or Tobii Communicator or DynaVox Compass. This could possibly
cause confusion if the volume is set to 0% on the speaker then no sound will come out of it no matter what the volume
is set to in Windows. We recommend always setting the volume of the speaker to just below Max, and controlling the
actual volume from within the Windows environment or from within Tobii Communicator or DynaVox Compass.

5.6 Adjusting the Sound

You can configure the speakers using the WWiinnddoowwss 88..11 CCoonnttrrooll PPaanneell >> HHaarrddwwaarree aanndd SSoouunndd.

We refer to Microsoft’s information on how to configure the sound in the Windows 8.1 Control Panel.

Sound adjustments can also be done in TToobbiiii CCoommmmuunniiccaattoorr oorr DDyynnaaVVooxx CCoommppaassss.

5.7 Pairing the Bluetooth® Speaker with the Tablet

The Bluetooth® speaker and the tablet are paired together on delivery.

If needed, follow this procedure to pair the Bluetooth® speaker to the tablet again:

1. Power Off the Bluetooth® speaker

2. Power On the Bluetooth® speaker

3. Connect the Bluetooth® speaker to the tablet in the Bluetooth® settings in Windows®.

If the tablet shuts down/hibernate, you may need to restart and re-connect the Bluetooth® speaker.

the Bluetooth® connection.
