About this Quick Start Guide
This Quick Start guide contains descriptions and instructions on performing the basic operations of your M3
device. Throughout the text, you will find the following kinds of comments:
Note: This Quick Start guide offers notes on making the most of your communication system.
These notes are designed to point out features that can be used to make the device a better fit
for an individual user, or other important considerations. Notes are marked with a flag to make
them easy to find.
Reference: Many of the topics in this Quick Start guide are explained in more detail in the
Searchable Help on the CD that came with your M3. The notes include a key word or phrase
that can be used to quickly find the topic in the Searchable Help. Reference notes are marked
with a computer mouse.
Caution: You should always be sure to read the notes beside the caution symbol. These notes
contain very important information to help you use your M3 device safely, and to prevent device
damage and loss of information.
Appendix A at the end of this Quick Start guide offers details on how to find more information in the
Searchable Help.
Important Information about Your Device
Your DynaVox M3 device meets all necessary international safety standards and has been tested to meet
IEC601-1 requirements and FCC part 15 class B. The M3 system is a Class II device. The degree of
protection provided by the system is IXPO. The system is considered to be a portable device that is
intended for continuous operation, not intermittent use. This device has electrical input ratings of 18 VDC/3.0
Amps. Fuses in the device are resettable poly-switch fuses. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
The DynaVox M3 generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular situation. If this device does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
2
zReorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
zIncrease the separation between the equipment and receiver.
zConnect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
zConsult an experienced radio/TV technician or DynaVox Technical Support for help.
To ensure safe operation of your device, you should take care to note the following cautionary items:
Caution: Your DynaVox M3 device contains a Lithium Ion battery. A safety hazard may develop
when the battery is placed in or near fires or stoves, or in locations with temperatures above
113°F (45°C). These conditions may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite.
Caution: Do not perforate, disassemble or modify the battery. If you must dispose of the battery,
do so according to the local laws that apply to the area where you live.
Caution: For safe and proper operation of your DynaVox M3 device, use only chargers,
batteries and accessories that have been approved by DynaVox Technologies.
Caution: Be sure to disconnect all power before servicing the device. The DynaVox M3 devices
contain no user-serviceable parts.
Caution: This device presents a risk of electrical shock if the plastic casing is opened. Do not
open the plastic casing that surrounds the device.
Caution: The M3 devices are not suitable for use in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
When you are charging your M3 device, remember that the electrical outlet you will use to power the
adapter must be accessible and within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device. There should be no switches or
disconnect devices in the earth conductor. The M3 charger requires no routine maintenance other than a
periodic inspection of the power cords for signs of wear and damage. If the power cords show signs of wear
and damage, they should be replaced.

Emergency Use (Intended Use of This Product)
The M3 device is intended for everyday communication situations. It should not be relied upon as a means
of communicating emergency medical information. We recommend having multiple ways to communicate
information during a medical emergency.
Please Register Your Purchase
Please fill out and return the registration card that was shipped with your M3 device. Without this
information, we cannot know who uses our devices, or who should receive software updates, newsletters or
other product information.
Each M3 device has a serial number sticker on the bottom of the unit. Be sure to write the serial number on
your registration card before you mail it in. Also, take time now to copy the serial number here so that it will
be handy if you must contact someone from DynaVox Technologies, either to check on an order for your
product or to talk to someone in Technical Support. It is especially important to do this if your device will be
mounted onto a wheelchair, since the serial number may not be readily accessible from that position.
Save the Packing Material
You should also be sure to save the box and packing material. If you ever need to send your device back to
DynaVox Technologies for repair, you will need the box and packing material to ship it safely.
