2 Safety

The Tobii Dynavox I-Series device has been tested and approved as compliant to all the Specifications and Standards listed in Appendix B Compliance Information, page 47 of this manual and in the Appendix D Technical Specifications, page 52 – including, but not limited to, the Medical Device Standard (Class 1/Type B). Nevertheless, in order to ensure safe operation of your Tobii Dynavox I-Series device, there are a few safety warnings to bear in mind:

No modification of this equipment is allowed

Contraindication: The Tobii Dynavox I-Series device should never be, for the user, the only means of communi-

cating important information.

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

The Tobii Dynavox I-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 Dynavox I-Series device.

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

The Tobii Dynavox I-Series device shall only be used with Tobii Dynavox I-Series specific Accessories that have a mounting instruction included with the accessory.

The charging cable could present strangulation hazards to young children. Never leave small children unattended with the charging cable.

Young children or people with cognitive disabilities should not have access to, or the use of, the Tobii Dynavox ISeries device without parental or guardian supervision.

Do no attach any decorations, post it notes or similar on the screen side of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device. These may interfere with the Eye Gaze or 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.

The Tobii Dynavox I-Series device can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal hearing person, even when exposed for less than a minute. The Maximum sound level of the unit is in parity with the sound levels that a healthy young man can produce while screaming. Since the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device is intended as a voice Prosthetic, it shares the same possibilities and potential risks of causing harm to hearing. The higher decibel ranges are offered to enable communication in a noisy environment and should be used with care and only in said noisy environments.

2 Safety

2.2 Temperature

When used in direct sunshine or in any other hot environment, the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device may have hot surfaces. There are built-in temperature sensors that monitors the temperature. If the sensors detects temperatures above the temperature specified in Table E.1 Maximum Allowed Temperature, page 56, the device will au- tomatically trigger a Windows Shut Down or Hibernate (depending on Windows Power Button configuration) to prevent risk of harm to the user. It may take a while before the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device can be restarted, as the unit may need time to cool down.

Do not touch the area specified in Figure E.1 Temperature Threshold Area, page 56 when the Tobii Dynavox ISeries device is running. The specified area can reach temperatures which may cause permanent bodily harm in the event of prolonged direct skin contact. Use appropriate precautions to avoid injury.

2.3 Power Supply and Batteries

The Tobii Dynavox I-Series device uses lithium-ion batteries. These batteries have a storage temperature range of between -20 ℃/-4 ℉ and 40 ℃/104 ℉ within 3 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 45 ℃/113 ℉ for the batteries to charge. If the internal battery temperature raises above 45 ℃/113 ℉ the batteries will not charge at all.

Move the Tobii Dynavox I-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.

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

The battery may only be replaced by the user with a TDG G1 battery pack sold by Tobii Dynavox. There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type.

For safe operation of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device, use only chargers, batteries, and accessories approved by Tobii Dynavox.

Do not open (except for the battery cover), or modify, the metal casing of the Tobii Dynavox I-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 Dynavox I-Series device or its accessories are mechanically damaged, do not to use them.

If the battery is not charged or the Tobii Dynavox I-Series is not powered up by the power supply, the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device will shut down.

If the Power Supply Cord becomes damaged, contact Tobii Dynavox for replacement.

Do not connect any devices with a non-medical grade power supply to any connector on the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device. Furthermore, all configurations shall comply with the system standard IEC 60601-1-1. Anyone who connects additional equipment to the signal input part or signal output part is configuring a medical system and is therefore responsible for ensuring that the system complies with the requirements of the system standard IEC 60601-1-1. The unit is for exclusive interconnection with IEC 60601-1 certified equipment in the patient environment and IEC 60XXX certified equipment out-side of the patient environment. If in doubt, consult the technical services department or your local representative.

The appliance coupler of the power supply or separable plug is used as the Mains Disconnection Device, please do not position the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device so that it is difficult to operate the disconnection device.

2 Safety

#12007957 Tobii Dynavox I-Series User’s manual v.1.0.1 - en-US

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.

2.4 Mounting

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

2.5 Emergency

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.

2.6 Infrared

The Tobii Dynavox I-Series emits pulsed infrared (IR) light both from the eye tracker and from the Environmental Control Unit. Other devices controlled by IR or susceptible to disturbance by IR light might be affected by the IR light emitted from the Tobii Dynavox I-Series. Do not use the Tobii Dynavox I-Series in the vicinity of such devices if their functionality is of critical importance.

2.7 Epilepsy

Some people with Photosensitive Epilepsy 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.

2.8 Electricity

Do not open the casing, except for the battery cover, of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device, since you may be exposed to potentially hazardous electrical voltage. The device contains no user serviceable parts.

2.9 Software

Windows 10 comes with Windows Defender included, providing protection from viruses, malware, and other potential threats. Regardless of whether you use Windows Defender or a third party anti-virus software, we recommend that you always keep your antivirus software up-to-date.

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

#12007957 Tobii Dynavox I-Series User’s manual v.1.0.1 - en-US

2 Safety

2.10 Child Safety

The Tobii Dynavox 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 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.

2.11 Environmental Control

The Programmable IR Remote Control — Environmental Control Unit (ECU) is not to be relied on as the only method of interaction with IR controlled devices.

2.12 Eye Gaze

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 Eye Gaze. If you are experiencing fatigue or dry eyes start off slowly and limit the length of your Eye Gaze sessions to your comfort level. Remoisturizing eye drops can be helpful to combat dryness.

2.13 Third Party

Tobii Dynavox assumes no responsibility for any consequence resulting from use of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series in a manner inconsistent with its intended use, including any use of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series with third-party software and/or hardware that changes the intended use.

5 Using the Tobii Dynavox I-Series

No skill other than reading is necessary for setting up the Tobii Dynavox I-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 top of the device. (Position 11 in Figure 3.2 Back, page 17)

● Activate a configured Switch.

For more information about configuring a Switch, see 5.10.3 Switches , page 37.

When you have started the device, the Power LED will shine blue or green depending on if the device is connected to AC or on batteries. For more information about the LED Behavior, see Appendix C Computer Device States of Operation and LED Status, page 50.

5.1.1 First Start Up

When you start your Tobii Dynavox I-Series for the first time, you are required to go through a couple steps to set your ISeries up with the correct software and language installation. The whole process usually takes between 10-15 minutes.

Immediately after booting up the I-Series, you will be taken through the Windows Out-of-box experience (OOBE). It will require you to acknowledge both Microsoft and Tobii Dynavox End User License Agreements. This is also where you set up language and time-zone preferences. You will also be able to connect to a WIFI network. Simply follow the instructions on screen to progress to the next step.

Internet-connectivity is not a requirement.

5.1.1.1 Local Account vs Windows Account

5.1.1.1.1 What is a local offline account in Windows 10?

A local account is a user name and password combination that you have used to log into any of the legacy Windows operating systems. It grants you access to the system's resources and allows you to customize it to your settings and preferences. A local user account in Windows 10 will allow you to install traditional desktop apps, personalize settings and use the operating system the old fashioned way. Of course, local offline accounts can be created for a single system, so if you have multiple devices, you will need to use a different local account for each of them. And although it is not necessarily recommended, this type of offline account allows you to remove password protection if you don't want it.

You can access the Windows Store but, if you use Windows 10 Home, you cannot download and install apps without a Microsoft account. If, however, you use Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise or Education, you can download and install apps from the Windows Store, but only if they're free. If they're paid, you must sign in using a Microsoft account so that their licenses are associated with you. Lastly, if you use a local offline account in Windows 10, your settings will not be synchronized across all of the computers and devices you typically use.

5.1.1.1.2 What is a Microsoft account?

A Microsoft account is a rebranding of any of previous accounts for Microsoft products. As such, if you have ever used services like Hotmail, Outlook.com, Skype, or devices like Xbox game consoles or Windows smartphones, then you are sure to have a Microsoft account already. By rebranding and combining all these different accounts, Microsoft allows for complete integration of all their services into a single online account. This means that you can use it to get access to everything connected to the Microsoft ecosystem. For more help on how to create a Microsoft account and why you should do it, read this article: https://www.digitalcitizen.life/what-is-microsoft-account.

#12007957 Tobii Dynavox I-Series User’s manual v.1.0.1 - en-US

5 Using the Tobii Dynavox I-Series

The big difference from a local account is that you use an email address instead of a username to log into the operating system. So you can use either a Microsoft bound email address (hotmail.com, live.com or outlook.com) or Gmail and even an ISP specific email address to create your Microsoft account. This type of sign in process means that you cannot remove the password protection. You can only change it.

5.1.1.2 Creating a User Account

Tobii Dynavox recommends using a Microsoft Account, if possible.

Benefits of using a Microsoft Account include One Drive cloud storage to back up files such as photos, videos, etc., simple Password Recovery through Microsoft, ability to purchase paid apps through the Microsoft Store, parental controls, device sync, and Find My Device.

If you already have a Microsoft Account you want to use, it is OK to use that Microsoft Account.

1. Select the Create account text on the page and follow the directions.

2. Enter your email address.

When creating a Microsoft Account, you can use your current email address, regardless of domain (ex. @gmail, @yahoo, etc.)

3. Sign in

4. Select Set a PIN and follow the steps, or select Do this later to set up at another time.

Passwords are not always secure. Setting up a PIN allows you to sign in to your device in a more secure way.

5. Microsoft OneDrive, your personal cloud storage can be set up by selecting Next.

Windows will automatically save files to Microsoft OneDrive.

Select Only save files to this PC if you don’t want Windows to use Microsoft OneDrive.

Tobii Dynavox also recommends that you create a free account on myTobiiDynavox.com. It allows you to save, backup, and share Page Sets with other users all from one place.

5.1.1.3 Tobii Dynavox Configuration

Once completing the above steps, a Tobii Dynavox setup guide will launch. The setup guide will ask you for a QR-code that defines what Tobii Dynavox software is to be installed. The QR-code is supplied on paper with your device, and the setup guide will let you use the built-in rear camera to scan it. Alternatively, you can also manually enter the product key, found on the same paper as the QR-code. Once the QR-code/product key is successfully read, the system will spend approximately 5-10 minutes configuring your Tobii Dynavox Communication software. In the meantime, you will be asked to acknowledge safety information and manage device settings. Once your software is configured and ready to go, you will be automatically notified.

1. Remove the QR Code from the box and scan it using the device’s rear-facing camera.

If the camera is having trouble reading the QR code, choose manual entry.

2. An option will show to allow the device to automatically sign into the User Account when the device is powered on.

If you would like to be logged in automatically, leave the box checked and enter the password for the User Ac- count that was set up in the previous steps above. Uncheck the box if you want to enter the password for the User Account when the device is started. Once finished, select Next.

3. The device will then configure and finish its setup. Once complete, the device will be ready to use!

Congratulations, you are now ready to use your Tobii Dynavox device!

#12007957 Tobii Dynavox I-Series User’s manual v.1.0.1 - en-US

5.1.2 Password Information

X cm / inches

The Tobii Dynavox I-Series device is configured to start up without a password. Though unusual, there are situations in which the password window could 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.

If you decide to use a password for your user account on your Tobii Dynavox I-Series device, be sure to write it down in a safe place for later use. Without the operating system’s access password, Tobii Dynavox Support may be unable to assist you until you have recovered it through Microsoft.

The password is case sensitive.

Should the password window pop up, requiring a password, you need to know the password or where to find it. In order to type in the password use the Windows on-screen keyboard or an external USB keyboard (not included).

5.2 Shutting Down the Device

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

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

● By pressing the power button.

● Through the communication software installed on the device.

Should you be unable to shut the device down using any of the above, you can hold the power button on the top edge of the device down for seven seconds. 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.

5.3 Using Eye Gaze

The Tobii Dynavox I-Series devices operate with precision regardless of glasses, contact lenses, eye color or light conditions. Eye Gaze enables you to control the computer with your eyes using either Gaze Enabled applications (like Tobii Dynavox Snap Core First

5.3.1 Positioning

/ Communicator 5) or through Windows Control.

Figure 5.1 Positioning

#12007957 Tobii Dynavox I-Series User’s manual v.1.0.1 - en-US

5 Using the Tobii Dynavox I-Series

The Tobii Dynavox I-Series is designed to work optimally when it is parallel to the user’s eyes at a distance of about 60 cm

X cm / inches

(23.5 inches), see Figure 5.1 Positioning, page 23.

Figure 5.2 Positioning when Users Leaning Sideways or Those Lying Down

This means that for those users leaning sideways or those lying down, the Tobii Dynavox I-Series also needs to be tilted in order to keep the user’s eyes parallel to the screen and at the optimal distance, see Figure 5.2 Positioning when Users Leaning Sideways or Those Lying Down, page 24.

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 Eye Gaze 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 Eye Gaze.

5.3.2 Track Box

The Tobii Dynavox I-Series allows for extensive Freedom of Head Movement. Once the Tobii Dynavox I-Series is properly calibrated and placed in front of the user, no further adjustments are required.

The Tobii Dynavox 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, see Figure 5.3 The Trackbox, page 24.

At 70 cm (27.5 in) the Tobii Dynavox I-Series allows for lateral Freedom of Head Movement in an area of about 50 × 36 cm (20 × 14 in) or 35 × 30 cm (13,8 × 11,8 in) depending on which Eye tracker the Tobii Dynavox I-Series is equipped with. For more information, see Appendix D Technical Specifications, page 52.

In order to function properly for Eye Gaze, the user needs at least one eye in the track box at all times.

1. Freedom of head movement describes the volume in front of the tracker in which the user must have at least one of the eyes. The numbers are specified parallell/orthogonal to screen surface, assuming eye tracker is at 20 degree angle to screen.

2. The degree-of-accuracy and precision over percentage-of-population numbers result from extensive testing across representatives of the whole population. We have made use of hundreds of thousands of diagnostic images and performed tests on approximately 800 individuals with different conditions, vision, ethnicities, everyday dust, smudges or blemishes around their eyes, with eyes out of focus, etc. This has resulted in a much more robust and high performance eye tracking experience and a much more realistic representation of true performance across the whole population, not just in a mathematically “ideal” scenario.

3. The “ideal” degree numbers are the previous standard of measuring accuracy and precision, both previously from Tobii and presently from all eye tracking competitors. Though “ideal” numbers are useful to get a general feel about comparative quality and performance, they are not applicable to real world usage in the same way as quantitative degree-of-accuracy and precision over percentage-of-population numbers based on extensive testing across representatives of the whole population.
