2 Safety
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series device has been tested and approved as compliant to all the Specifications and Standards
listed in Appendix B Compliance Information, page 46 of this manual and in the Appendix D Technical Specifications, page
51 – including, but not limited to, the Medical Device Standard (Class 1/Type B). Nevertheless, in order to ensure safe op-
eration of your Tobii Dynavox I-Series device, there are a few safety warnings to bear in mind:
No modification of this equipment is allowed
Contraindication: The Tobii Dynavox I-Series device should never be, for the user, the only means of communi-
cating important information.
In case of failure of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device, the user cannot communicate using it.
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series is not to be used as a life supporting Device, and it shall not be relied on in case of
loss of function due to power loss or other causes.
There could be a choking hazard risk if small parts detach from the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device.
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series device shall not be exposed to or used in weather conditions outside the Technical
Specification of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device.
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series device shall only be used with Tobii Dynavox I-Series specific Accessories that have
a mounting instruction included with the accessory.
The charging cable could present strangulation hazards to young children. Never leave small children unat-
tended with the charging cable.
Young children or people with cognitive disabilities should not have access to, or the use of, the Tobii Dynavox I-
Series device without parental or guardian supervision.
Do no attach any decorations, post it notes or similar on the screen side of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device, that
may interfere with the Eye Gaze or touch screen performance.
2.1 Avoiding Hearing Damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones, headphones or speakers are used at high volume. To prevent
this, the volume should be set to a safe level. You can become desensitized over time to high sound levels which
may then sound acceptable yet still could be damaging your hearing. If you experience symptoms such as ring-
ing in your ears, please lower the volume or stop using the earphones/headphones. The louder the volume, the
less time is required before your hearing could be affected.
Hearing experts suggest the following measures to protect your hearing:
● Limit the amount of time you use earphones or headphones at high volume.
● Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
● Turn the volume down if you cannot hear people speaking near you.
To establish a safe volume level:
● Set your volume control at a low setting.
● Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series device can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a nor-
mal hearing person, even when exposed for less than a minute. The Maximum sound level of the unit is in parity
with the sound levels that a healthy young man can produce while screaming. Since the Tobii Dynavox I-Series
device is intended as a voice Prosthetic, it shares the same possibilities and potential risks of causing harm to
hearing. The higher decibel ranges are offered to enable communication in a noisy environment and should be
used with care and only in said noisy environments.
#12004244 Tobii Dynavox I-Series User’s manual v. - en-US 2 Safety 11

2.2 Temperature
When used in direct sunshine or in any other hot environment the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device may have hot
surfaces. There are built-in temperature sensors that monitors the temperature. If the sensors detects tempera-
tures above the temperature specified in Table E.1 Maximum Allowed Temperature, page 55, the device will au-
tomatically trigger a Windows Shut Down or Hibernate (depending on Windows Power Button configuration) to
prevent risk of harm to the user. It may take a while before Tobii Dynavox I-Series device can be restarted, as the
unit may need time to cool down.
Do not touch the area specified in Figure E.1 Temperature Threshold Area, page 55 when the Tobii Dynavox I-
Series device is running. The specified area can reach temperatures which may cause permanent bodily harm in
the event of prolonged direct skin contact. Use appropriate precautions to avoid injury.
2.3 Power Supply and Batteries
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series device uses Lithium Ion batteries. These batteries have a storage temperature range
of between -20 ℃/-4 ℉and 40 ℃/104 ℉within 3 months.
If you are in a hot environment, be aware that it can affect the ability to charge the batteries. The internal temper-
ature has to be between 0 ℃/32 ℉and 45 ℃/113 ℉for the batteries to charge. If the internal battery temperature
raises above 45 ℃/113 ℉the batteries will not charge at all.
Move the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device and the batteries to a cooler environment to let the batteries charge
properly.
Avoid exposing the batteries to fire or to temperatures above 50 ℃/122 ℉. These conditions may cause a battery
to malfunction, generate heat, ignite or explode. Be aware that it is possible, in a worst case scenario, for temper-
atures to reach greater than those stated above in, for example, the trunk of a car on a hot day. So, storing the
device, with batteries installed, in a hot car trunk could conceivably lead to a malfunction.
Do not disassemble or harm the battery. Pay attention to the environmental laws and regulations which apply in
your area when disposing of batteries.
For safe operation of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device, use only chargers, batteries, and accessories approved
by Tobii Dynavox.
Do not open (except for the battery cover), or modify, the metal casing of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device or of
the power supply, since you may be exposed to potentially hazardous electrical voltage. The device contains no
serviceable parts. If the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device or it’s accessories are mechanically damaged, do not to
use them.
If the battery is not charged or the Tobii Dynavox I-Series is not powered up by the power supply, the Tobii Dyna-
vox I-Series device will shut down.
If the Power Supply Cord becomes damaged, contact Tobii Dynavox for replacement.
Do not connect any devices with a non-medical grade power supply to any connector on the Tobii Dynavox I-Ser-
ies device.
The appliance coupler of the power supply or separable plug is used as the Mains Disconnection Device, please
do not position the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device so that it is difficult to operate the disconnection device.
Special regulations apply to shipping Lithium-ion batteries. If dropped, crushed, or short-circuited, these batteries
can release dangerous amounts of heat and may ignite, and are dangerous in fires.
Please reference IATA regulations when shipping lithium metal or lithium ion batteries or cells: http://www.iata.
org/whatwedo/cargo/dgr/Pages/lithium-batteries.aspx

2.4 Mounting
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series should be mounted according to MANUFACTURER instructions of approved mounts.
Tobii Dynavox or its agents are not liable for damage or injuries to a person or its property due to a Tobii Dynavox
I-Series falling from a mounted configuration. The mounting of a Tobii Dynavox I-Series is done entirely at the
user’s own risk.
2.5 Emergency
Do not rely on the device for emergency calls or banking transactions. We recommend having multiple ways to
communicate in emergency situations. Banking transactions should only be carried out with a system recom-
mended by, and approved according to the standards of your bank.
2.6 Infrared
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series emits pulsed infrared (IR) light both from the eye tracker and from the Environmental
Control Unit. Other devices controlled by IR or susceptible to disturbance by IR light might be affected by the IR
light emitted from the Tobii Dynavox I-Series. Do not use the Tobii Dynavox I-Series in the vicinity of such devices
if their functionality is of critical importance.
2.7 Epilepsy
Some people with Photosensitive Epilepsy are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when
exposed to certain flashing lights or light patterns in everyday life. This may happen even if the person has no
medical history of epilepsy or has never had any epileptic seizures.
A person with Photosensitive Epilepsy would also be likely to have problems with TV screens, some arcade
games, and flickering fluorescent bulbs. Such people may have a seizure while watching certain images or pat-
terns on a monitor, or even when exposed to the light sources of an eye tracker. It is estimated that about 3-5%
of people with epilepsy have this type of Photosensitive Epilepsy. Many people with Photosensitive Epilepsy ex-
perience an "aura" or feel odd sensations before the seizure occurs. If you feel odd during use, move your eyes
away from the eye tracker.
2.8 Electricity
Do not open the casing, except for the battery cover, of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device, since you may be ex-
posed to potentially hazardous electrical voltage. The device contains no user serviceable parts.
2.9 Software
Windows 10 comes with Windows Defender included, providing protection from viruses, malware, and other po-
tential threats. Regardless of whether you use Windows Defender or a third party anti-virus software, we recom-
mend that you always keep your antivirus software up-to-date.
Software other than that which is pre-installed on the Tobii Dynavox I-Series is installed at the user's own risk. Ex-
ternal software could cause the Tobii Dynavox I-Series to malfunction and might not be covered by the warranty.
2.10 Child Safety
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series are advanced computer systems and electronic devices. As such they are composed
of numerous separate, assembled parts. In the hands of a child these parts have the possibility of being sepa-
rated from the device, possibly constituting a choking hazard or another danger to the child.
Young children should not have access to, or the use of, the device without parental or guardian supervision.
#12004244 Tobii Dynavox I-Series User’s manual v. - en-US 2 Safety 13

2.11 Environmental Control
The Programmable IR Remote Control — Environmental Control Unit (ECU) is not to be relied on as the only
method of interaction with IR controlled devices.
2.12 Eye Gaze
Some people may experience a certain amount of fatigue (due to intentional eye focusing and hard concentra-
tion) or even a dryness of the eyes (due to less frequent blinking) when first getting used to Eye Gaze. If you are
experiencing fatigue or dry eyes start off slowly and limit the length of your Eye Gaze sessions to your comfort
level. Remoisturizing eye drops can be helpful to combat dryness.
2.13 Third Party
Tobii Dynavox assumes no responsibility for any consequence resulting from use of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series in
a manner inconsistent with its intended use, including any use of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series with third-party soft-
ware and/or hardware that changes the intended use.
