Communicate all day, every day

High spec computer

Grid Pad 12 has the latest generation Intel core i5 processor, with 8GB RAM and a solid-state hard drive. This fast processor enables seamless communication, so you can keep up with conversation.

All-day battery

Grid Pad 12 is designed to help you communicate all day long. The large battery provides up to 15 hours continuous use, or 10 hours with eye gaze.

Remote power button

Grid Pad 12 comes with our remote power button, to give you more independence. If you are not physically able to press this power button, you can plug any switch into the button and use it to turn the Grid Pad 12 on.

Antimicrobial technology

Grid Pad 12 is built with an antimicrobial casing and screen to inhibit the growth of bacteria and spread of viruses. The Sanitized® technology embedded within the device helps to keep it cleaner for longer – perfect for clinical settings.

This material has not yet been tested on COVID-19, however it has been successfully tested against similar viruses including Influenza, Avian flu and SARS.

Powered by Grid

Grid 3 is the software behind every Grid Pad, with dedicated apps for communicating, controlling your environment, message banking, browsing the internet, using social media, sending emails and text messages, listening to music and more. You’ll find a wide range of AAC resources, designed for people of all ages and different levels of literacy.

Designed for all access

Tough HD touchscreen display

Grid Pad 12 has a 12.5” HD touchscreen, with a hardened glass display. The anti-glare finish makes it easier to see the screen when you are out and about.

Keyguards

Robust keyguards with secure fastening are available to order for any grid set in Grid 3.

USB access devices

Grid Pad 12 has two USB ports on the back of the device that enable you to use any other type of alternative access device, such as a joystick, trackball, HeadMouse Nano or Quha Zono head mouse.

Eye gaze access

Grid Pad and Grid 3 are ready to work with all eye gaze technology built for AAC.

The purpose-built eye gaze module is available with the EyeTech TM5 mini and Alea IntelliGaze.

We also have bespoke mounting plates to use with Tobii PCEye Mini and Eyegaze Edge.

Switch input

There are two built-in ports for switches. These specially reinforced ports are also recessed for added protection.

Auditory feedback

The headphone socket can be used for auditory feedback, useful for people with visual impairment. In Grid 3, this enables you to hear what a cell will say before you choose to select it.

Built to be heard

Grid Pad 12’s integrated speakers have been engineered to produce high quality sound and volume – to help get your message across effectively, wherever you are.

Mounting and positioning options

Rehadapt and Daessy mounting options give you choice and flexibility in every environment. Use Grid Pad 12 anywhere with the variable angle desk stand.

Environment control

Grid Pad 12 comes with built-in infrared and radio Environment Control. There is a front-facing infrared learning window to make inputting commands easier.
