Let’s Get Started
This Getting Started Guide is designed for two people: the person who will use the
device to communicate and a helper who can touch the screen and move the device. The
sections with the hand icon must be completed by the helper. The sections with the eye
icon should be completed by the person who will access the device using eye gaze. When
you have completed the steps in this guide, the individual will be able to use eye gaze to
communicate in the TD Snap®app.

User
Open the protective cover over the ports and connect the charger
cable to the charging port on the side of the TD Pilot base. Then
plug the power cord into an outlet.
Press the power button on the back of the TD Pilot to power it on.

your iPad does not power on, press the power button on the iPad

Note
Remote management, also known as MDM, allows Tobii Dynavox to send software and software updates to
your iPad over Wi-Fi. Through remote management Tobii Dynavox will only have access to information about
your iPad hardware specifications, OS version, installed apps, and security settings. Tobii Dynavox will not be
able to access your personal files, photos, cameras, microphones, or location data.

TD Pilot Power Management
The TD Pilot must be powered on when connected to external power in order for the iPad to charge too.
When the TD Pilot is powered on, the eye tracker is always active, even when the iPad screen is locked.
Because of this, the batteries will drain when the TD Pilot is turned on and not connected to external power. It
is best to leave the TD Pilot turned on and plugged into the charger whenever you are not using it.
Battery status information is found in TD CoPilot > Settings > Battery.
Additional information about power management is available in the TD Pilot User’s Manual.

What does AssistiveTouch have to do with eye gaze?
AssistiveTouch is designed for people who have difficulty touching the screen. The
AssistiveTouch menu allows you to do “touch” functions, such as tap and scroll, using eye gaze.
It also provides gaze-accessible shortcuts to things like the Home screen and App Switcher,
which are typically accessed through gestures.

Mount and Position
Prepare the user to start using eye tracking by positioning them comfortably. If they use glasses, make sure that they are
wearing them and that the lenses are clean.
Place the TD Pilot on your mounting system or a stable surface in front of the user at, or slightly below, their eye level. If
their head is tilted left or right, tilt the TD Pilot to match. It is important that the angle of the screen surface match the
angle of the user’s face. Most users, when seated at a table or desk, will need to have the TD Pilot positioned higher than
the table surface.
You may need to refine the position of the device during the Calibrate steps on the next page. Always adjust the position
of the device to suit the user, not the other way around.
Note
A mounting system is the best option for precise device positioning
that is easy to adjust throughout the day. Several mounting
options are available, including floor mounts, desk mounts, and
wheelchair mounts. Visit TobiiDynavox.com or contact your local
Tobii Dynavox partner.

Calibrate
Tap the CoPilot app.
Follow the on-screen instructions in CoPilot to calibrate the eye tracker to the user’s eyes.
When the user has finished calibrating, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to return to the Home screen.
Ready!
Your TD Pilot is now ready to use. Launch TD Snap®to start communicating.

Note
Many funding sources require speech generating devices to be sold as dedicated (closed) devices. Closed
devices have limited internet and app store access. Once a speech generating device is delivered to the
user or their representative, they are permitted to open the device for an additional fee, giving them full
access to the internet and the app store. If you would like to learn more about opening a closed device, visit
us.tobiidynavox.com/pages/device-open-key or call 1-800-344-1778.
