Introduction
To ensure the optimal performance of this product, please take the time to read this manual carefully.
The TD I-110 device is a Tobii Dynavox Speech Generating Device (SGD) intended for use as an augmentative communication aid for those with speech, language, physical, and cognitive disabilities.
In this manual we use four (4) levels of admonitions as follows:

This section provides information about the symbols that are used on the TD I-110, its accessories, or packaging.



The Primary Users of the TD I-110 are those individuals who, due to physical, language, and/or cognitive conditions, require an AAC device for Speech. It is appropriate for users of all ages.

The target users for TD I-110 are individuals with physical and/or cognitive conditions affecting their ability to speak, communicate and participate in everyday activities. TD I-110 provides these users with a way to communicate that is appropriate for their age, cognitive level, language skills, and physical abilities. This might be through Visual Scene Displays (VSDs), grid-based symbol pages, keyboards, or a combination of the above. Composed messages are communicated through recorded voice or synthesized speech.
TD I-110 is built to serve a wide range of input method needs and use cases. The typical user will be ambulatory and interact with the device through touch. The device is also appropriate for physically disabled users that require alternative access methods, such as switch scanning, or wheelchair mounting. TD I-110 is based on Windows and is available both in dedicated and open configurations. In the dedicated configuration, TD I-110 will restrict the users from access to features that are not seen as communication functionality.
In addition to providing users with face-to-face communication possibilities, TD I-110 also facilitates alternative access to a number of computer access and long distance communication features. The device has built-in WLAN and cellphone connectivity through Bluetooth. TD I-110 also has built-in infrared transmitters enabling the user to control TV, lights, blinds and other IR-compatible devices in their environment.
TD I-110 is a medical device designed to meet the requirements of EN-60601 and all other regulatory requirements in the markets where it is sold. TD I-110 is significantly more rugged than typical consumer tablets, and comes with an IP55 ingress protection, enabling use in most conditions. TD I-110 is not intended to be the user’s sole means of communication. Users should have an alternative, low-tech communication method in the event that the device is malfunctioning or otherwise inaccessible.
A portable TD I-110 can be used hand-held or in a table top standing or resting position.

The TD I-110 can be mounted on to several mounting systems.
- ConnectIT
- REHAdapt
- Daessy
- IDEAS

If the device needs to be returned to Tobii Dynavox for warranty-related issues or repair, it is beneficial that the original packaging or equivalent is used for shipping. Most shipping carriers require at least 2 inches of packing material around the device.
