What is a “User”?
Section 9: Backing Up & Restoring
This section of the
User’s Guide
describes what a
.user
file is, and how it enables you to
customize the Series 5 software to your own needs and specifications. This section also
provides instructions on backing up your custom information (pages, sounds, symbols, etc.),
as well as sharing that information with other Series 5 device users. Finally, this section
includes step-by-step instructions for upgrading your DynaVox Series 5 software over an
active Internet connection.
What is a “User”?
When you completed the User Setup Wizard in the
Creating a User
section of this
User’s
Guide
, you named and created a user for your Series 5 device (which is saved as a .
user
file).
This user is a set of files that includes your page set, vocabulary, symbols and settings, and
more.
There are certain user-specific elements, files and software settings in the DynaVox Series 5
software that enable you to customize the device. These files and settings are saved in the
.user file when the current user is backed up or saved. When you change the active user, the
current user’s files and settings are replaced by those of the user that you are opening.
The user-specific elements and settings in the DynaVox Series 5 software are listed below:
•
Selection method
•
Voice settings
•
Pages in the
Page Browser
menu
•
Custom symbols
•
Email and text messaging settings
•
Rate enhancement information
•
IR commands
•
Files in the
User Files
folder
•
Custom sounds
•
Imported media files (digital pictures, video files, sounds, MP3 files)
Note:
You can create multiple users on one Series 5 device. This is especially
useful in situations where more than one person is using the same device
to communicate.
