Your AAC device is an important part of everyday life, supporting conversations, learning, and connection with others. And, just like any piece of technology you rely on, it performs best when it’s well looked after! In this blog, we’ll share our top AAC device maintenance tips – including practical care, maintenance, and tech advice to help ensure your device stays reliable, responsive, and ready when you need it!

Here are our top tips for your AAC device maintenance.

#1: Clean Your Device Regularly

Let’s face it – devices get dirty. Whether you’re at school, work, or just having dinner, your device comes along for the ride. Give it some cleaning attention regularly to keep it working well.

For light cleaning, use a soft, lint-free cloth on the touchscreen. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp, lint-free cloth, then dry the screen with another soft cloth. You can find more detailed cleaning tips in your device manual.

Good to know: Keyguards can go in the dishwasher!

#2: Look After Your Battery

Your device comes with a specific charger – always use that one. Try to charge your battery before it drops to 0%. Charging when your battery is above 10% can extend its life significantly. For best results, charge your device upright at room temperature on a hard surface.

Tip: Turn off your device for faster charging.

#3: Use Sleep Mode and Shut Down Wisely

We encourage keeping your device with you and ready to use for conversations throughout the day. However, there are smart times to use sleep mode or shut down completely.

Set your auto-sleep to five minutes or less. Use sleep mode when you won’t be using your device for short periods, like during swimming.

Remember that sleep mode uses about 2% of battery per hour. Consider turning off your device completely during longer breaks, like overnight.

#4: Avoid Overheating

Like most technology, your device works best when it’s not too hot. Take breaks from heat and avoid charging if your device feels warm. Move to shade or air conditioning rather than trying to cool it with water.

Tip: Keep a low-tech communication board handy for water activities.

#5: Keep Your Software Updated

Software updates bring new features and vocabulary to improve your communication experience. Connect to WiFi and follow the prompts in your settings menu to get these improvements. Updates also help your device run more smoothly overall.

Tip: Plug in your device during updates to protect your battery.

#6: Protect Your Screen

Your screen is essential for accessing all your communication options. Protect it from scratches, moisture, and spills with a screen protector. This also reduces glare and reflections, making it easier to see your buttons.

Visit our online store to see screen protector options for your device.

#7: Consider a Protective Case

Your device is built to be durable and handle daily life. (If you haven’t already), you might try an extra protective case designed specifically for your device model. These cases provide additional security for active use at home and out in the community.

#8: Review Your Access Needs

People change, and your needs change too. It might be time to check that you’re still accessing your device in the most comfortable and efficient way possible.

Connect with your support team (or ours!) to consider adjustments like:

  • Repositioning your device
  • Adjusting your wheelchair setup
  • Trying new vocabulary settings
  • Recalibrating eye gaze (if applicable)
  • Using a keyguard for more accurate selection

Our local consultants are happy to discuss access questions to help you communicate at your best.

#9: When Technical Issues Arise

If you’re experiencing glitches, try restarting your device first – this solves most technical problems.

If you’re still having trouble after a restart, our support team is here to help. Contact us by phone, email, or through our website, and we’ll work together to get your AAC device maintenance issue resolved – and your device running smoothly again.
