TD I-Series I-13/I-16 User's Manual v.1.0-en-US 2 Safety 13
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.
The TD I-Series device can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal 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 person can produce while screaming. Since the TD 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.
2.2 Temperature
When used in direct sunshine or in any other hot environment, the TD I-Series device may have hot surfaces.
There are built-in temperature sensors that monitors the temperature. If the sensors detects temperatures above
the temperature specified in Appendix E Maximum Allowed Temperature, page58, the device will automatically
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 the TD I-Series device can be restarted, as the unit may need time to
cool down.
Do not touch the area specified in Illustration 9: Temperature Threshold Area, page58 when the TD 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 TD I-Series device uses lithium-ion batteries. These batteries have a storage temperature range of between
-20 °C/-4 °F and 40 °C/104 °F within 3 months.
If you are in a hot environment, be aware that it can affect the ability to charge the batteries. The internal
temperature has to be between 0 °C/32 °F and 45 °C/113 °F for the batteries to charge. If the internal battery
temperature raises above 45 °C/113 °F the batteries will not charge at all.
Move the TD 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 °C/122 °F. 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
temperatures 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. Follow the environmental laws and regulations which apply in your area
when disposing of batteries.
The battery may only be replaced by the user with a TDG G1 battery pack sold by Tobii Dynavox. There is a risk of
explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type.
For safe operation of the TD I-Series device, use only chargers, batteries, and accessories approved by Tobii
Dynavox.

14 2 Safety TD I-Series I-13/I-16 User's Manual v.1.0-en-US
Do not open (except for the battery cover), or modify, the metal casing of the TD 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 TD I-Series device or its accessories are mechanically damaged, do not to use them.
If the battery is not charged or the TD I-Series is not powered up by the power supply, the TD 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 TD I-Series device.
Furthermore, all configurations shall comply with the system standard IEC 60601-1-1. Anyone who connects
additional equipment to the signal input part or signal output part is configuring a medical system and is therefore
responsible for ensuring that the system complies with the requirements of the system standard IEC 60601-1-1. If
in doubt, consult the technical services department or your local representative.
The appliance coupler of the power supply or separable plug is used as the Mains Disconnection Device, please
do not position the TD I-Series device so that it is difficult to operate the disconnection device.
Special regulations apply to shipping Lithium-ion batteries. If dropped, crushed, punctured, thrown, abused 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 TD 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 TD I-Series falling from a
mounted configuration. The mounting of a TD 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
recommended by, and approved according to the standards of your bank.
2.6 Infrared
The TD 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 TD I-Series. Do not use the TD 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
patterns 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
experience an "aura" or feel odd sensations before the seizure occurs. If you feel odd during use, move your eyes
away from the eye tracker.

2.10 Child Safety
The TD 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 separated from the
device, possibly constituting a choking hazard or another danger to the child.

Some people may experience a certain amount of fatigue (due to intentional eye focusing and hard concentration)
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.
