Temperature/Humidity/Atmospheric Pressure
Ranges
For optimal device performance, the T10 should be kept within the following ranges:
NOTE
Run time will be shortened at the high and low ends of the temperature range.
Mounting/Transporting Your T10
If you use your T10 device while in a wheelchair, you should have it properly mounted for both
communication and transportation purposes. Wheelchair mounting systems are available
through DynaVox.
Protective and accessible carrying cases are also available. Consult the DynaVox website
(www.dynavoxtech.com) or your DynaVox sales consultant for more information.
Product Cleaning/Handling
To clean your T10, first turn it off and then wipe it gently with a damp cloth or soft paper towel.
You may dampen the towel with a mild window cleaner to remove fingerprints, food particles,
and dust.
Do not use tape or stickers on either the touch screen or the case, as they are difficult to
remove and may damage the device surface. Tape, stickers, and other sticky materials can
damage the touch screen and interfere with the operation of the device.
Be sure to avoid getting your T10 wet. Never submerge it in water (e.g., dishwasher). If your
unit accidentally gets wet, be sure to shut it down and allow it dry thoroughly. If after 24 hours
you find that the T10 seems to function normally, there is probably no damage. If it fails to
function or behaves abnormally, go to www.myDynaVox.com > Community & Support >
myDynaVox Community to start the repair process by creating a new case. You may need to
ship it to DynaVox for repairs.
Be careful not to drop it. Such treatment is not recommended and can shorten the life of your
T10. Do not use a sharp object to make selections on the touch panel, as this can cause
damage. Use a special capacitive stylus.
CAUTION
Never, under any circumstances, disassemble your T10. Doing so for any reason will void the
warranty, and you will be responsible for the cost of any required repairs.
Activity Temperature Range
Using the T10 32°F - 104°F (0°C - 40°C)
