1. Here is an IR forum I found on Google. http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/mboard/rc-sat/thread.cgi?2882 I don't know if this will help but it better than nothing. CNET has a forum too that you may want to browse: http://forums.cnet.com/7723-7596_102-225715.html I don't know if the individual has HD TV or this is not an issue.

2. I have heard from my rep. AT & T cell phones were tested on the Tobii products. I have not used this feature myself. I know I have watched a webinar on the process. Here is the link to past webinars http://www.tobiiati.com/corporate/training/recorded_webinars/mytobii_p10.aspx I would suggest having the family check with family and friends if someone has AT&T and then try it to see if it works or take it to a store to see if one of them would work.

Subject: question about Tobii P-10

Hello all,

We have a PALS here at clinic today relating problems with his P-10. According to PALS and his wife, Tobii has stated that this is not a problem they have had with their devices and company can not solve issue right now. So, I am looking to the listserv to see if any of you have heard of these issues happening.

1. IR issues. Family can't use their own remote without covering the Tobii with a blanket. The IR are intereferring with each other and now the PALS can't use the IR feature at all in the Tobii.

2. Cell phone. PALS was told any cell phone could be adapted into the Tobii but this has proven not true. PALS now has a phone that is compatible with Tobii but can't initiate a text message. He can respond, but not initiate.

Any help will be appreciated.

Alisa
