2 Safety
The SC Tablet device has been tested and approved as compliant to all the Specifications and Standards listed in
Appendix B Compliance Information, page 21 of this manual and in the Appendix C Technical Specifications, page 23.
Nevertheless, in order to ensure safe operation of your SC Tablet, 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.
The user may never attempt to change the battery. Altering of the battery may cause risk of explosion.
The SC Tablet 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 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 device shall not be exposed to or used in rain or weather conditions outside the Technical
Specification of the SC Tablet device.
Young children or people with cognitive disabilities should not have access to, or use, the SC Tablet device
without parental or guardian supervision.
The SC Tablet 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 SC Tablet device contains a rechargeable battery. All rechargeable batteries degrade over time. Thus the
possible usage times for the SC Tablet after a full charge can become shorter over time than when the device
was new.
#12008713 Tobii Dynavox SC Tablet User’s manual v.1.0.5 - en-US 2 Safety 7

The SC Tablet 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 device to a cooler environment to let the battery charge properly.
Avoid exposing the SC Tablet 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 device, in a hot car trunk could conceivably lead to a malfunction.
Only charge the SC Tablet battery in an ambient temperature of 0 ℃/32 ℉to 45 ℃/113 ℉.
Use only the supplied power adapter to charge the SC Tablet device. Using unauthorized power adapters may
severely damage the SC Tablet device.
For safe operation of the SC Tablet device, use only the charger and accessories approved by Tobii Dynavox.
Do not open, or modify, the casing of the SC Tablet 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 device or its
accessories are mechanically damaged, do not use them.
If the battery is not charged or the SC Tablet is not connected to the power supply, the SC Tablet 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 device may have hot surfaces.
2.4 Mounting
The SC Tablet 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 SC Tablet falling
from a mounted configuration. The mounting of a SC Tablet is done entirely at the user’s own risk.
2.5 Emergency
Do not rely on the SC Tablet device for emergency calls. We recommend having multiple ways to communicate
in emergency situations.

2.6 Electricity
Do not open the casing of the SC Tablet device, since you may be exposed to potentially hazardous electrical
voltage. The device contains no user serviceable parts.
2.7 Child Safety
The SC Tablet 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 Magnetic Field
The SC Tablet device contains magnets. Magnetic fields may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other
medical devices. As a general rule, maintain a minimum distance of 6 inches (15 centimeters) between any item
with magnets and your heart device.
If you suspect that the SC Tablet device is interfering with your pacemaker or any other medical device, stop
using the SC Tablet device and consult your physician for specific information about that affected medical device.
