2 Safety
The SC Tablet Mini device has been tested and approved as compliant to all the Specifications and Standards listed in
Appendix B Compliance Information, page 25 of this manual and in the Appendix D Technical Specifications, page 30.
Nevertheless, in order to ensure safe operation of your SC Tablet Mini, there are a few safety warnings to bear in mind:
No modification of this equipment is allowed.
Repairs to a Tobii Dynavox device must only be performed by Tobii Dynavox or a Tobii Dynavox authorized and
approved repair center.
Contraindication: The SC Tablet Mini device should never be, for the user, the only means of communicating
important information.
In case of failure of the SC Tablet Mini device, the user cannot communicate using it.
The SC Tablet Mini is not waterproof or water resistant. The device should not be kept in excessively humid,
damp or otherwise wet conditions. Do not submerge the device in water or in any other liquid. Be careful not to
allow liquids to be spilled upon the device, especially in the connector areas.
The user may never attempt to change the battery. Altering of the battery may cause risk of explosion.
The SC Tablet 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 SC Tablet 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 SC Tablet Mini device shall not be exposed to or used in rain or weather conditions outside the Technical
Specification of the SC Tablet Mini device.
Young children or people with cognitive disabilities should not have access to, or use, the SC Tablet Mini device
without parental or guardian supervision.
The SC Tablet 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.
82 Safety #1000115 Tobii Dynavox SC Tablet Mini User’s manual v.1.0.1 - en-US

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 SC Tablet Mini device contains a rechargeable battery. All rechargeable batteries degrade over time. Thus
the possible usage times for the SC Tablet Mini after a full charge can become shorter over time than when the
device was new.
The SC Tablet Mini device uses a Li-ion 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 SC Tablet Mini device to a cooler environment to let the battery charge properly.
Avoid exposing the SC Tablet 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 SC Tablet Mini device, in a hot car trunk could conceivably lead to a malfunction.
Only charge the SC Tablet Mini battery in an ambient temperature of 0 ℃/32 ℉to 45 ℃/113 ℉.
Use only the supplied power adapter to charge the SC Tablet Mini device. Using unauthorized power adapters
may severely damage the SC Tablet Mini device.
For safe operation of the SC Tablet Mini device, use only the charger and accessories approved by Tobii
Dynavox.
Do not open, or modify, the casing of the SC Tablet 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
SC Tablet Mini device or its accessories are mechanically damaged, do not use them.
If the battery is not charged or the SC Tablet Mini is not connected to the power supply, the SC Tablet Mini device
will shut down.
If the Power Supply Cord is damaged, it needs to be replaced by Service Personnel only. 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 Li-ion 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 SC Tablet Mini device may have hot surfaces.
#1000115 Tobii Dynavox SC Tablet Mini User’s manual v.1.0.1 - en-US 2 Safety 9

2.4 Emergency
Do not rely on the SC Tablet Mini device for emergency calls. We recommend having multiple ways to
communicate in emergency situations.
2.5 Electricity
Do not open the casing of the SC Tablet Mini device, since you may be exposed to potentially hazardous
electrical voltage. The device contains no user serviceable parts.
2.6 Child Safety
The SC Tablet 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.
2.7 Magnetic Field
If you suspect that the SC Tablet Mini device is interfering with your pacemaker or any other medical device, stop
using the SC Tablet Mini device and consult your physician for specific information about that affected medical
device.
2.8 Third Party
Any use of the SC Tablet 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.

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 SC Tablet 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.
For battery storage and charging temperatures, see 2.2 Power Supply and Batteries, page 9.
