ICONS, PAGE ICONS & PHRASE ICONS
Select
to Save
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.

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.
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 dance, 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.
