New for 2012!
The ComLink ULTRA-Lite™ gives you the same great features found in the ComLink ULTRA™ while adding the benefits of the revolutionary SoundPOD™ wearable AAC device!

With built in magnets and indexing locaters you can easily convert back and forth from the neck worn in-use configuration and the easy dock configuration with minimal dexterity requirements.

With its small size and light weight design, you can also slip the SoundPOD™ underneath your shirt for a discrete and hidden solution.
Since your using an FRS ComLink, you'll recieve the entire Life-Links™ Communication Suite complete with over 4,000 professionally developed and field proven AAC pages ranging in functionality between beginner to advanced.

What Features Make the ComLink ULTRA-Lite “Better By Design”?
|
Life-Links™ Communication Suite The Life-links suite of communication packages offer solutions for individuals at all levels of language development from beginning language development to those with highly developed language skills.
SoundPOD™ Included The revolutionary SoundPOD™ speaker connects wirelessly to your ST-Lite™. When worn on the included neck lanyard, your voice output originates from your upper body and the audio stream is directed toward the person your talking to. This simple idea of wearing the SoundPOD™ gives you a more natural communication experience as your listener's attention is focused on you and what your are saying rather than the hand held speech generating device. With its small size and light weight design, you can also slip the SoundPOD™ underneath your shirt for a discrete and hidden solution.
Designed for Accessibility The ComLink is specifically designed to overcome access challenges. The device supports all forms of access including: touch screen (press, hold time-out), visual and auditory switch scanning (optional switch input module required), joysticks, optical head mouse, and voice recognition. FlexABLE™ Handle & Stand- (Optional)
The FlexABLE Handle™ is exceptionally easy to grip even for those with very limited hand dexterity. It provides a new level of independence for many users.
The FlexABLE Stand™ allows you to optimize visibility and reduce screen glare induced by overhead lighting. Unlike competitive fixed-position designs, our system provides infinite adjustment for precise, glare-free positioning. Competitive designs using fixed prop legs create rigid obstructions that can be harmful for spastic users who unintentionally contact the device. Our revolutionary Flex-ABLE™ Stand eliminates this danger by allowing the device to deflect upon impact, making it a soft and safe, positioning solution.
Product Tour The intuitive easy-to-navigate Product Tour lets you take a “test drive” of the extensive array of pre-built page sets and ComLink ULTRA-Lite capabilities at anytime.
Handwriting Recognition For those who prefer to use their own hand writing to communicate, our powerful Handwriting Recognition feature and accompanying page integration, works seamlessly with word prediction for fast, effective speech output.

Hot Swap Batteries
Hot Swap Batteries are easy to access and allow extra battery runtime on the ComLink device. Unlike traditional solutions such as over-sized batteries, Hot Swap Batteries don’t add extra bulk or weight to the system itself. Best of all, these batteries can be swapped out while the device is still running so you don't have to shut down your system, nor worry about losing any in-progress work during a battery change-out.

3-Bay, Multiple Battery Charger
This 3-Bay Multiple Battery Charger is the perfect solution for situations where charging multiple batteries at once is needed. Maybe you have additional batteries for a single device, or just want a single solution to charge batteries on multiple devices. In either case, this 3 Bay Multiple Battery Charger is the perfect solution.

Keyguards
Keyguards are a great solution for users who have trouble making finger-touch selections to their ComLink. For example, if a user gets fatigued and has difficulty holding their palms off of the screen when making selections, they can use a keyguard as a platform to rest their hands on and then make selections (only to the desired targets) using the keyguard's cut-out regions. Our premium keyguards are constructed from high strength acrylic and all edges are rounded and are soft-to-touch. In addition, they mount easily and securely using rubber straps and pin locators that make sure they always maintain perfect alignment.

Switch Access Option
Provides for attachment of single and dual access switches using 1/8” jacks. Also adds capability for wireless switch access when used in conjunction with the optional wireless switch input transmitter. Call for details.

Head Pointer
The Head Pointer provides accessibly for a wide range of applications. For example, the Head Pointer allows users to access their ComLink device by making selections to the touch screen via that Head Pointing Stick. In addition, users can access personal computers, appliances, light controls, elevator buttons, and more. The Head Pointer is light weight (approximately 7.5 ounces) and features a durable plastic frame lined with high density foam padding. The adjustable neck strap and head band accommodate users of all ages and assure a comfortable and custom fit. The Head Pointer comes standard with an 18" straight rod however; custom formed and alternate rod lengths are available as well.

Optical Head Mouse Kit
The Optical Head Mouse Kit is a fast way for users to access their device whenever finger touch access is not an option. A small reflective dot is placed somewhere on the user's head and the Optical Head Mouse tracks the dot and transforms any movement that it sees, into mouse cursor movement. Essentially, head movement is used to drive the mouse cursor. Selections or "mouse clicks" are made by simply holding the cursor on the desired target. In addition, our software offers the capability to make other mouse simulations such as left double-click, right clicks, etc. Finally, using the FlexABLE™ mount (included in kit), the head mouse can be tilted infinitely within its range of adjustment. This gives the user far more positioning flexibility than conventional fixed or integrated solutions.

The FlexABLE Stand™ allows you to optimize visibility and reduce screen glare induced by overhead lighting. Unlike competitive fixed-position designs, our system provides infinite adjustment for precise, glare-free positioning. Competitive designs using fixed prop legs create rigid obstructions that can be harmful for spastic users who unintentionally contact the device. Our revolutionary Flex-ABLE™ Stand eliminates this danger by allowing the device to deflect upon impact, making it a soft and safe, positioning solution.
Extended Warranty
Need extra warranty? We offer both limited warranties and all-inclusive warranties for our ComLink devices. Please contact us for more details.

Wireless Mouse
Our wireless mouse can be used as an access device for speech output and is also a handy accessory to have when programming your ComLink. The mouse uses a small USB powered radio transmitter that plugs into one of the ComLink's USB ports and then communicates wirelessly with the mouse. The wireless communication totally eliminates cords that get tangled or are just in the way.

Keyboard
Our keyboard perfectly sized for our ComLink devices. It is small enough to be portable but large enough to be productive. For typists, the keyboard can be used to enter text which is then converted to speech output. In addition the keyboard is a great tool to use when programming a device as well. The keyboard plugs into one of the ComLink's USB ports.

Soft Carry Case
Our soft carry cases provide a level of protection for a ComLink. The cases help to minimize scratching and scuffing that occurs during transport. In addition, the cases have both internal and external compartments for storage of accessories such as the wireless mouse, keyboard, charger, and more. The Soft Carry Case features a shoulder strap and handle to make your device easy to transport.

Webcam Kit
The Webcam Kit features a USB plug and play camera and the FRS FlexABLE™ mounting system. The camera can be faced toward the user (as pictured) for performing video conference calls with applications such as Skype™. It can also be facing forward to take pictures that can be later used with communication pages, cells, or picture viewers. The FlexABLE™ mount provides ample positioning flexibility and allows you to adjust the camera orientation without repositioning the device.
