Temperature/Humidity/Atmospheric Pressure
Ranges
For optimal device performance, the T10/T15 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/T15
If you use your 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 device, 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 device 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 device 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
device. Do not use a sharp object to make selections on the touch panel, as this can cause
damage. Use your finger or a special capacitive stylus.
Never, under any circumstances, disassemble your device. Doing so for any reason will void the
warranty, and you will be responsible for the cost of any required repairs.
