5.1.1.2 Creating a User Account
Tobii Dynavox recommends using a Microsoft Account, if possible.
Benefits of using a Microsoft Account include One Drive cloud storage to back up files such as photos, videos,
etc., simple Password Recovery through Microsoft, ability to purchase paid apps through the Microsoft Store, pa-
rental controls, device sync, and Find My Device.
If you already have a Microsoft Account you want to use, it is OK to use that Microsoft Account.
1. Select the Create account text on the page and follow the directions.
2. Enter your email address.
When creating a Microsoft Account, you can use your current email address, regardless of domain (ex.
@gmail, @yahoo, etc.)
3. Sign in
4. Select Set a PIN and follow the steps, or select Do this later to set up at another time.
Passwords are not always secure. Setting up a PIN allows you to sign in to your device in a more secure
way
5. Microsoft OneDrive, your personal cloud storage can be set up by selecting Next.
Windows will automatically save files to Microsoft OneDrive.
Select Only save files to this PC if you don’t want Windows to use Microsoft OneDrive.
Tobii Dynavox also recommend that you create a free account on myTobiiDynavox.com. It allows you to save,
backup, and share Pagesets with other users all from one place.
5.1.1.3 Tobii Dynavox Configuration
Once completing the above steps, a Tobii Dynavox setup guide will launch. The setup guide will ask you for a QR-code that
defines what Tobii Dynavox software is to be installed. The QR-code is supplied on paper with your device, and the setup
guide will let you use the built-in rear camera to scan it. Alternatively, you can also manually enter the license code, found
on the same paper as the QR-code. Once the QR-code/license number is successfully read, the system will spend approx-
imately 5-10 minutes configuring your Tobii Dynavox Communication software. In the meantime, you will be asked to ac-
knowledge safety information and manage device settings. Once your software is configured and ready to go, you will be
automatically notified.
1. Remove the QR Code from the box and scan it using the device’s camera.
If the camera is having trouble reading the QR code, choose manual entry.
2. An option will show allowing the device to automatically sign into the User Account when the device is powered on.
If you would like to be logged in automatically, leave the box checked and enter the password for the User Ac-
count that was set up in the previous steps above. Uncheck the box if you want to enter the password for the User
Account when the device is started. Once finished, select Next.
3. The device will then configure and finish its setup. Once complete, the device will be ready to use!
Congratulations, you are now ready to use your Tobii Dynavox device!
5.1.2 Password Information
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series device is configured to start up without a password. Though unusual, there are situations in
which the password window could pop up; for example, when creating a new user in the operating system, when returning
from the operating system’s sleep mode or when downloading software updates from the internet.
