Before You Open the App: Account & Backup Setup

Before opening your speech app, we recommend setting up your Dropbox account right away so you are ready to back up any personalizations to the app.

• Go to the Utilities folder on the Home screen of the device
• Open Dropbox
• Create a free basic account

Opening the App for the First Time

After you go through your meeting with our AbleCARE team, you will be set up on a vocabulary. Here are the steps you’ll want to take after:

1. Set up a MyTobii Account to make backups easier in the future
2. Change your page set if needed. For help deciding which page set is right for you, visit the FAQs tab.
