through recorded voice or synthesized speech.
Tobii Dynavox I-Series is built to serve a wide range of input method needs and use cases. The typical user will be ambulatory
and interact with the device through touch. The device is also appropriate for physically disabled users that require alternative
access methods, such as switch scanning, or wheelchair mounting. Tobii Dynavox I-Series is based on Windows 10 and is
available both in dedicated and open configurations. In the dedicated configuration, Tobii Dynavox I-Series will restrict the users
from access to features that are not seen as communication functionality.

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:
ƔLimit the amount of time you use earphones or headphones at high volume.
ƔAvoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
ƔTurn the volume down if you cannot hear people speaking near you.
To establish a safe volume level:
ƔSet your volume control at a low setting.
ƔSlowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
