with MyTobii P10

GettingStarted

This Guide is intended to help you set up
and start using your MyTobii P10.

The MyTobii P10 can be used with a variety
of mounts. The Daessy mounting system

(See*) attaches to the lower portion of the

P10 and requires spacers. The Ergotron
mounting system attaches to the upper
portion of the P10.

Attaching the Ergotron Mount

1. The base of the Ergotron desk mount that

comes with your MyTobii needs to be
attached first. Ensure that the base is
mounted securely on a table that can
support the weight of the P10, even with
the mounting arm extended.

(se e A)

2. Add the second component of the mount

and tighten with Allen key.

(se e B)

3. On a surface that will not scratch the

screen, carefully lay the P10 face down.
Use the four platic screws to attach the
arm of the Ergotron desk mount, putting
them in at opposite corners first. The
spring needs to be facing towards the
bottom of the P10. (see C)

4. Carefully lift up the P10 with mounting

arm and attach it to the rest of the
mounting system. (see D)

Turning on the MyTobii P10

1. Put the power cord into the bottom of the

P10 and plug in.

2. Press the front button on the P10 to turn

the unit on. Turn off the P10 by exiting the
MyTobii software, then in the Windows
Task Bar choose: Start Menu/Shut
Down.

3. Press the buttons on the upper back of

the device to adjust volume.

1. Within the MyTobii desktop go into the

Settings menu. You can do this by

to uching the lower, r ight hand corner of
the screen and selecting the Settings
Menu button that appears on the screen.

(see F)

3. Close the Track Status box by touching the

upper right hand corner of that window to
close it or by clicking on the Track Status
button in the Settings menu.

4. Go into the Calibration menu. It will start

immediately.

5. Once Calibration is completed, close the

Settings menu. You are now at the

MyTobii desktop (see next section).

If Calibration faile d, try one more time. If it
fails again, go into Advanced Settings
(this menu is not eye control accessible).

Note: In the Settings menu, you are able
to choose the type of accessing method
(dwell, blink, switch). Generally, try dwell
on the default dwell setting (approx.
100 0ms) fo r at least 5 minutes! This is
often the easiest mode of eye control and
is best to try first before ruling it out as an
option.

2. In the Sett ings Menu, choose Track

Status.

A window will appear that shows if the
user’s eyes are registering with the
system. The yellow triangle at the top of
the track status box should be in the
middle, this shows that the user is at the
ideal distance for eye control. Two white
circles representing the user’s eyes
should be as close to the center of the box
as possibl e. An indicator bar at t he bot tom
of t he Trac k St atus box will turn green if it is
able to track the user’s eyes.

If the user is only using one eye, you might
need to make adjustments in the
Advanced Settings me nu.

(see G)

If the distance meter does not appear
when you open the track status box, click
on t he small , gr ee n di am ond in t he upper
right hand corner of the track status box.

How to determine appropriate button
size for Eye Control :

For determining appropriate grid size for a
new user, choose “Gaze Evaluator” from the
Basic Settings menu. This can only be used
with a USB keyboard plugged into the
MyTobii P10, so you have control over which
grid sizes the user can access. Choose the
“Grid Evaluator” to assess appropriate grid
and button size.

Grid Evaluator:

1. Plug in your USB keyboard.

2. Open Grid Evaluator. (See J)

3. Choose #3 “Grid Size Test”

4. A 2x1 grid will automatically open.

Instruct the user to look at one item and
then the other. You will know that the user
has selected a button because it will
change to a dark grey color at the time it
is selected.
