Follow the four steps in this guide and your new I-Series device will be set up
and ready to use.
Step 1: Initial Setup
Start the Device
Connect the power cable to the device
and plug in to an outlet.
Press the Power button.
Setup
When you turn on your device, you will see one of two screens. If your device has not
been pre-configured, you will be prompted to complete the Windows Setup process first.
Windows Setup
While this process does not require a
Microsoft account, we recommend that
you connect to or create a user’s account
and not a caregiver’s account.
Start Up Wizard: Pick Your App
Choose which app to automatically
launch when the device is turned on.
Step 2: Configure Communication Software
Follow the prompts in your chosen software to create a new user or restore an existing
user file.

Do not perform calibration for Eye Gaze (Gaze Interaction) until
the device has been mounted and the individual is positioned
comfortably. See Step 3 for mounting and positioning tips.

Step 3: Mount & Position
Optimized positioning for both the device and the individual is necessary for successful
use. Place the device on a mounting system or on a table using the Adjustable Base.
Tips for Mounting and Positioning
■Make sure the individual is positioned comfortably.
Adjust the mount and device to suit the individual, not
the other way around.
■Launch the Track Status window to check eye position.
Orient the device so that the individual can clearly see
the screen and their eyes are within the Track Status
window.
■Move the device closer or further away from the
individual until the triangle is in the green area in the
Track Status window.
■If the individual’s head is tilted left or right, the device
should also be tilted to match.
■If the individual is in a reclined position, such as in
bed, the device can be mounted above them using a
mounting system such as a floor stand.
■Position the screen so the user is looking straight at it
rather than looking up or down. Higher is better than
lower.
■Calibrating eye tracking calibrates to the user’s eyes,
not the user’s position. Reposition the device if the
user’s position changes instead of recalibrating.
To launch Track Status on the device:
Touch the Adaptive button on the front of the
device.

Step 4: Calibrate
A perfect calibration score is not required to use eye tracking eectively. When you are
just getting started, calibrate once without worrying too much about the scores and
then let the individual practice using eye tracking. You can always revisit calibration later.
To calibrate TD Snap:
Select the Edit button.
Select User.
Select Access Method.
Select Eye Gaze.
Scroll down and select Calibrate.
To calibrate Communicator 5:
Open the Quick Menu.
To open the Quick Menu, press Ctrl + M
on your keyboard, right click with your
mouse, or touch, hold, then release
anywhere on the screen.
Select Advanced Settings.
Select Input Method and confirm Gaze
Interaction is selected.
Select Gaze Interaction Settings.
Here you can change the activation
type between dwell and switch,
change calibration profiles, and start a
new calibration.
You don’t need to calibrate each time you use the device.
