Point-and-Chat Instant Messaging

Integration Kit for DynaVox Series 4

PLEASE NOTE: There are currently two different Point-and-Chat programs that can run on your computer: instant messaging (IM) and email (Mail). If you want to control BOTH from your DV4, you will need a valid copy for each program installed on the computer - AND - you should use a different Integration Kit designed for both programs.

This Integration Kit is especially designed to control only Point-and-Chat Instant Messaging.

Import three files from the extracted DV4-IM folder into the DynaVox Series 4 device.

The unzipped folder named "DV4-IM" will contain three files: "PnC-24-C.epg", "PnC-24-C-Serial.epg", and "go-to-chat-page.jpg". These three files must be imported into the DynaVox Series 4 device according to the General Instructions.

The "PnC-24-C.epg" file and the "PnC-24-C-Serial.epg" file are Control Pages that let the DynaVox Series 4 device send commands to Point-and-Chat. The file to use will depend upon the computer that is running Point-and-Read. The "go-to-chat-page.jpg" file is an image for the "Go To" button that will navigate to the Control Page being used.
