Point-and-Chat Mail (plus IM)

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 ONLY IM from your DV4, you should use a different Integration Kit designed for that programs.

This Integration Kit is especially designed to control either Point-and-Chat Mail by itself or BOTH Point-and-Chat Mail and Point-and-Chat Instant Messaging.

Import four files from the extracted DV4-Mail folder into the DynaVox Series 4 device.

The unzipped folder named "DV4-Mail" will contain four files: "PnC-40-C.epg", "PnC-40-C-Serial.epg", "go-to-chat-page.jpg", and "go-to-mail.jpg". These four files must be imported into the DynaVox Series 4 device according to the General Instructions.

The "PnC-40-C.epg" file and the "PnC-40C-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" and "go-to-mail.jpg" files are images you can use for the "Go To" buttons that will navigate to the Control Page being used.
