ICONS, PAGE ICONS & PHRASE ICONS
Icons are images that represent words or phrases. Icons are built into the device and can
also be created by you. They can be blank, a photograph, a video or animation, a Lingraphica
image, or a photo or video that you have taken. Icons will speak and can project when
touched, depending on your device settings. If the icon is a video, the video will play when
the icon is touched.
Page icons act as a folder to organize icons and pages that are in the same category. They
have a dark gray shadow behind the icon. When touched, they take you to the next page.
Some page icons are already in your device; you can also create your own.
A phrase icon is a number of individual icons that are combined into one icon, which then
makes a complete phrase or sentence. Phrase icons will speak each individual icon as a
phrase, and may project when touched, depending on your device settings.

MAKING NEW ICONS & ICON PAGES
Changing Icons & Pages
When an icon has a red border around the outside, you can make changes or edits
to that icon in the menu.
These edits include changing the text or name of the icon,
recording a voice or video, choosing an image for the icon, and adding pages behind it to
create a Page Icon.
You can also delete an icon that you no longer use. Deleted icons are only removed from
their current page, but not from the device – you can always bring them back.
Just touch the icon you wish to change or delete (you’ll notice the red border around the
icon), and then touch the Menu button to see your options for that icon on the rst row.
Moving & Copying Icons
You can move icons around on a page, depending on your preferences and unique needs.
Simply touch and hold the icon until it begins to wiggle, then drag it to the new location on
the screen. Once you have the icon in place, let it go and it will remain where you dropped it.
Once you have the icon
where you’d like it to
be, release your nger.
Press and hold the icon, then
drag to its intended location.

USING THE SEARCH FEATURE
You can search for any icon in the device using the Search feature, which
is the Red Magnifying Glass on the Button Bar.
The keyboard has a predictive text function, which will suggest words as
you type.
Touching the blue plus sign adds the icon to whatever page you are on. The
current page is displayed in the upper right corner of the search screen.
When you touch the icon thumbnail image, it will speak.
Touching the search result row takes you to the page on which that
icon lives. Some icons can be found on more than one page. This can
be helpful if you are interested in seeing related words or more words
within a certain category.
In the example below, searching for the word “apple” shows results on the
fruit and lunch pages, and also shows a result for “apple pie.” Touching the
blue plus sign will add the apple or apple pie icon to your current page.
Touching the row will take you to the fruit, lunch, or pie page. To hear the
icon speak, you would simply touch the apple or pie image.
