What information should I know about the batteries for my I-Series?
June 07, 2017
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series device contains a rechargeable battery. All rechargeable batteries degrade over time. Thus the possible usage times for the Tobii Dynavox I-Series after a full charge can become shorter over time than when the device was new.
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series 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°C/32°F and 45°C/113°F for the battery to charge. If the internal battery temperature raises above 45°C/113°F the battery will not charge at all.
Move the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device to a cooler environment to let the battery charge properly.
Avoid exposing the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device to fire or to temperatures above 60°C/140°F. 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 temperatrues to reach greater than those stated above in, for example, the trunk of a car on a hot day. So storing the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device in a hot care trunk could conceivably lead to a malfunction.
Use only the supplied power adapter to charge the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device. Using unauthorized power adapters may severely damage the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device.
Do not open, or modify, the casing of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series or of the power supply, since you may be exposed to potentially hazardous electrical voltage. The device contains no serviceable parts. If the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device or it's accessories are mechanically damaged, do not use them.
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.
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 and may ignite, and are dangerous in fires.
