VoiceToys are not toys, even though they are called that.
Safety first!
All VoiceToys devices are made of harmless materials and without sharp edges, in order to minimize the risk of injury. The devices are intended to be operated by therapists. Do not give them to children for independent use! Except for the VibeY device, which produces vibrations and is intended to be touched by the user, do not place the other devices in users' hands, in order to avoid accidental damage. Pay particular attention to the speakers from the SpaceY system, because their emitting surfaces are made of soft wood. Grip and hold them exclusively by the plastic part!

System overview
The VoiceToys system consists of four groups of devices and a mobile application.
Devices from the VoiceToys system
SpreadY is made up of 5 multifunctional, wirelessly interconnected columns. They are primarily intended for the visual representation of the spreading of the voice in space, but other functionalities can also be activated through the mobile application (memory game, analysis and synthesis of words and sentences, etc.).
JumpY is a light panel that shows the sound level or reacts to the change in the distance of an object from the wireless sensor that comes with the device. It is intended for the visual representation of sound intensity and for sensorimotor stimulation and exercise, using original games that are activated via the mobile application.
VibeY is a vibrotactile device that reacts to the intensity and pitch of sound by producing gentle rainbow-colored lights and mild vibrations. It is intended for the stimulation of vocalization and the control of voice pitch and intensity. The sensitivity can be controlled with the mobile application.
SpaceY are 5 smart speakers that serve for the identification and localization of sound in space. They are controlled exclusively with the mobile application.
What is in the box?
The VoiceToys system comes in two boxes. In one are packed the wireless devices from the system, as separate devices, each in its own separate box, marked by colors:
- 1 piece - VibeY
- 5 pieces - SpaceY (blue, yellow, green, red, gray)
- 5 pieces - SpreadY (blue, yellow, green, red, gray)
Along with them come additional components for operation:
- 5 pieces of transparent rods for SpreadY
- 5 pieces of card holders for SpreadY
- 1 charging cable
In the second box comes the JumpY device, with its accompanying power supply and distance sensor - JumpY Sensor, which is also treated as a wireless device.
Unpacking and setting up for operation
Take the wireless devices out of the box and place them in a horizontal position. Store the boxes in a safe place, in case of future transport or storage. If you consider that you do not need them, you can return them to the manufacturer for recycling.
The JumpY device is mounted on the wall, according to the instructions in the chapter devoted to detailed information about it.
Powering the devices and electrical safety
All devices are powered by standard 5V/3A USB chargers using a cable with a USB-C connector. Do not use faulty or damaged cables, but only those supplied with the device or adequate quality replacements. During charging, DO NOT LEAVE THE DEVICES UNATTENDED! In case an unusually high device temperature occurs, smoke appears or unusual odors appear, IMMEDIATELY disconnect the device from the power and place it in a location where it cannot cause a fire! The wireless devices are charged and are intended to operate without connected power, while the JumpY device must be constantly connected to power because it does not contain batteries.
