1.1 Explanation of Admonitions
In this manual we use four (4) levels of admonitions as follows:
The Note symbol Is used for notifying the user of something important or of something that needs special attention.
The Caution symbol Is used to inform of something that could cause harm to, or malfunction of, the equipment.
The Warning symbol Is used to inform of something in which there is a conceivable risk of harm to the user if the
Warning is ignored.
The High Volume symbol Is used to inform of something that can cause damage to hearing.
1.2 Intended Use
The EyeMobile Plus is our integrated mobile solution. With a built in Eye tracker, IR, switches, microphone array, battery, great
speakers and a Windows tablet you are ready to go out in the world no matter if you want to use it as an always connected computer access solution or if you want to use it as a Speech Generating solution. With an EyeMobile Plus you are really ready To
Go!
The EyeMobile Plus includes an eye tracker that lets you access and control your Windows Tablet using only your eyes. Simply
look at the tablet and select commands by dwelling, zooming and/or clicking a switch. Alternatively, fully control the mouse cursor directly with your eye movements.
The EyeMobile Plus is intended to be used with Windows Control for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and/
or for computer access purposes as an alternative input device to the keyboard and mouse for people that have challenges in
their ability to speak and/or access a computer due to injury, disability or illness.
The EyeMobile Plus is not intended solely as an eye tracking device, but also includes other input and output methods. There is
a microphone array built in which is intended to be used together with a number of different speech recognition software to allow the user to dictate speech and use their voice to assist in controlling the computer. The EyeMobile Plus also contains switch
ports that are intended to be connected to one or more switches that can assist a user with limited mobility in the control of the
software on the device. The EyeMobile Plus can also be used for environmental control using infrared transmission in cases
such as the control of Televisions, music devices, windows, etc.
The EyeMobile Plus works together with Microsoft Windows Hello and can be configured to make use of Windows Hello's biometric facial recognition log in.
Except for installation, the EyeMobile Plus is operated mainly by the user only by using their eyes, and it is calibrated against
each user’s eye movements. The intention with the EyeMobile Plus is to allow the user to control a computer, but it is not intended for the control of any other medical devices.
The EyeMobile Plus gives you a fast, accurate and hands free way of accessing the many ways a computer can enrich your life

2 Safety
The EyeMobile Plus device has been tested and approved as compliant to all the Specifications and Standards listed in Appendix B Compliance Information, page 18. Nevertheless, in order to ensure safe operation of your EyeMobile Plus device, there
are a few safety warnings to bear in mind:
No modification of this equipment is allowed
The EyeMobile Plus 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 EyeMobile Plus device.
The EyeMobile Plus device shall not be exposed to or used in rain or weather conditions outside the Technical Specification of the EyeMobile Plus device.
Young children or people with cognitive disabilities should not have access to, or the use of, the EyeMobile Plus device without parental or guardian supervision.
The EyeMobile Plus device shall be used with care when moving around.
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 EyeMobile Plus device contains a rechargeable battery. All rechargeable batteries degrade over time. Thus the
possible usage times for the EyeMobile Plus after a full charge can become shorter over time than when the device
was new.
The EyeMobile Plus device uses a Li-ion Polymer battery.
If you are in a hot environment, be aware that it can affect the ability to charge the battery. The internal temperature
has to be between 0 ℃/32 ℉ and 45 ℃/113 ℉ for the battery to charge. If the internal battery temperature raises
above 45 ℃/113 ℉ the battery will not charge at all.
Move the EyeMobile Plus device to a cooler environment to let the battery charge properly.
Avoid exposing the EyeMobile Plus device to fire or to temperatures above 60 ℃/140 ℉. These conditions may
cause the 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 EyeMobile Plus device, in a hot car trunk could conceivably lead to a malfunction.
