2 Safety
The Mobile Mini device has been tested and approved as compliant to all the Specifications and Standards listed in
Appendix B Compliance Information, page 18 of this manual and in the Appendix C Technical Specifications, page 19.
Nevertheless, in order to ensure safe operation of your Mobile Mini, there are a few safety warnings to bear in mind:
No modification of this equipment is allowed.
The user may never attempt to change the battery. Altering of the battery may cause risk of explosion.
The Mobile Mini 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 Mobile Mini device.
The strap and charging cable could present strangulation hazards to young children. Never leave small children
unattended with the strap or charging cable.
The Mobile Mini device shall not be exposed to or used in rain or weather conditions outside the Technical
Specification of the Mobile Mini device.
Young children or people with cognitive disabilities should not have access to, or use, the Mobile Mini device
without parental or guardian supervision.
The Mobile Mini device shall be used with care when moving around.
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
ringing 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.
2.2 Power Supply and Batteries
The power source shall conform to the requirement of the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) standard, and supply
power with rated voltage which conforms to Limited power Source requirement according to IEC60950-1.
The Mobile Mini device contains a rechargeable battery. All rechargeable batteries degrade over time. Thus the
possible usage times for the Mobile Mini after a full charge can become shorter over time than when the device
was new.
#13000477 Tobii Dynavox Mobile Mini User’s manual v.1.0 - en-US 2 Safety 7

The Mobile Mini device uses a lithium-polymer battery.
If you are in a hot environment, be aware that it can affect the ability to charge the battery. The internal
temperature has to be between 0 ℃/32 ℉and 45 ℃/113 ℉for the battery to charge. If the internal battery
temperature raises above 45 ℃/113 ℉, the battery will not charge at all.
Move the Mobile Mini device to a cooler environment to let the battery charge properly.
Avoid exposing the Mobile Mini device to fire or to temperatures above 60 ℃/140 ℉. These conditions may
cause the battery to malfunction, generate heat, ignite or explode. Be aware that it is possible, in a worst case
scenario, for temperatures to reach greater than those stated above in, for example, the trunk of a car on a hot
day. So, storing the Mobile Mini device, in a hot car trunk could conceivably lead to a malfunction.
Only charge the Mobile Mini battery in an ambient temperature of 0 ℃/32 ℉to 35 ℃/95 ℉.
Use only the supplied power adapter to charge the Mobile Mini device. Using unauthorized power adapters may
severely damage the Mobile Mini device.
For safe operation of the Mobile Mini device, use only the charger and accessories approved by Tobii Dynavox.
Do not open, or modify, the casing of the Mobile Mini device or of the power supply, since you may be exposed to
potentially hazardous electrical voltage. The device contains no serviceable parts. If the Mobile Mini device or its
accessories are mechanically damaged, do not use them.
If the battery is not charged or the Mobile Mini is not connected to the power supply, the Mobile Mini device will
shut down.
If the Power Supply Cord is damaged, it needs to be replaced. Do not use the Power Supply Cord until replaced.
Disconnect the AC power plug of the Power adapter from the wall socket when not charging the device and
disconnect the power cable from the device.
Special regulations apply to shipping devices containing lithium-polymer batteries. If dropped, crushed, or short-
circuited, these batteries can release dangerous amounts of heat, may ignite, and may be dangerous in fires.
Please reference IATA regulations when shipping lithium metal or lithium ion batteries or cells: http://www.iata.
org/whatwedo/cargo/dangerous_goods/Pages/lithium_batteries.aspx
The Power adapter shall not be used without an adult or caregiver supervision.
2.3 Temperature
Due to use in direct sunshine or in any other hot environment, the Mobile Mini device may have hot surfaces.
2.4 Mounting
The Mobile Mini 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 Mobile Mini falling
from a mounted configuration. The mounting of a Mobile Mini is done entirely at the user’s own risk.
2.5 Emergency
Do not rely on the Mobile Mini device for emergency calls. We recommend having multiple ways to communicate
in emergency situations.
82 Safety #13000477 Tobii Dynavox Mobile Mini User’s manual v.1.0 - en-US

2.6 Electricity
Do not open the casing of the Mobile Mini device, since you may be exposed to potentially hazardous electrical
voltage. The device contains no user serviceable parts.
2.7 Child Safety
The Mobile Mini is an advanced computer systems and electronic device. As such they are composed of
numerous separate, assembled parts. In the hands of a child certain of these parts have the possibility of being
separated 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.
2.8 Third Party
Any use of the Mobile Mini outside the intended use and together with any third party software or hardware that
changes the intended use is a risk and nothing that Tobii Dynavox can take any responsibility for.

You can’t overcharge the battery. It is fine to charge the battery overnight.
You can use the Mobile Mini while the battery is charging.
Because of internal chemical reactions, battery performance may deteriorate over time. In addition, failure to
keep the conditions of use (charge, discharge, ambient temperature, etc.) within specified ranges may shorten
the battery life expectancy, or damage your Mobile Mini device. If the battery cannot maintain a charge for long
periods of time, even when it is charged correctly, it may need to be replaced.
The battery may need to be replaced every 12 to 18 months with typical use. Don’t try to replace the battery
yourself. The battery is internal and is not intended for service or replacement by the user or anyone other than a
Tobii Dynavox technician.
