ASSEMBLING THE EYEGAZE EDGE
6.1
Cleaning the Eyegaze Edge System
Before cleaning your Eyegaze Edge System, shut it down and unplug all cables. Use a soft,
slightly damp (alcohol can be used) lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings on the device.
Don't use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, ammonia, or abrasives to
clean the device. To clean the front of the camera, use a cotton stick (dipped in alcohol) in the 3
openings. Speaker, if the openings for the speakers are clogged, carefully use cotton sticks and/or a
soft toothbrush to avoid damage.
The non-glare surface of the Eyegaze screen is antimicrobial to protect against the spread of
germs. It should be wiped regularly with alcohol on a soft cloth to eliminate smears to see the screen
clearly.
6.2
Select a Site for the Eyegaze Edge
1. Choose a site away from uncovered windows and sources of bright incandescent light.
2. Choose a sturdy table, desk, or over-bed table to put the Eyegaze Edge on. A hospital over-
bed table works well.
3. Choose a position on the table to attach the clamp. The clamp should be located in a position
such that the monitor will be in a comfortable position for the user and such that there is
freedom in the swing of the arm both right-to-left and forward-to-back. For over-bed tables,
make sure the clamp is close to the table’s support leg for stability.
6.3
Mount the Clamp and Arm for the Monitor
1. Attach the arm clamp to the table, following the instructions in the included table mount
brochure.
2. Slide the arm into the clamp. Test stability.
3. Remount the clamp if necessary. If the monitor cannot be swung easily to a comfortable
position for the user, the clamp should be remounted.
