Beautifully Engineered
Smartbox’s lightweight Grid Pad 10s has functionality designed for accessibility, with users’ needs in mind. From the daylight bright screen making it easy to use outside in bright sunshine, to user-friendly buttons to quickly change settings like volume.
An impact resistant magnesium-alloy chassis makes the case incredibly strong, protecting it from everyday knocks and bumps. The chassis also provides significant thermal conductivity – removing heat from the processor without the need for any fans or openings, making the device water and dust resistant (IP54 rated). Grid Pad 10s has also been drop tested to 1-metre.
The 10-inch antiglare screen is made with toughened industrial grade glass, which has been optically bonded to the display panel, protecting it against impacts and scratches.
Extra strong ports have been used throughout to avoid damage, and rubber bungs add extra protection. The internal components have been carefully secured in place so there is no movement inside the device, this makes it shock-proof and ensures the best quality audio.
High gain antenna give you reliable Wireless and Bluetooth, so you always have a stable internet connection and excellent Bluetooth capability – perfect for using wireless devices.
And much more…
High Quality Audio
The latest high-displacement speakers produce room-filling sound so you can get your message across loud and clear. Not only do they give you excellent voice reproduction, but the full-range audio provides deep and rich bass for playing your favourite tunes!
Built-in Environment Control
GEWA Infrared Environment Control allows you to operate devices around your home, like your TV and other remote controlled gadgets. The front facing IR learning window provides ease of programming, and the multi-directional infrared LEDs give you a powerful 10m range signal.
Daylight Bright Display
Grid Pad 10s features a daylight bright display, which means that you’ll be able to see the screen clearly – even in bright conditions! With a 650 NITS brightness score, Grid Pad 10s is brighter than most tablets on the market (an iPad 10th Generation measures 500 NITS).
The screen also features an antiglare display, which has been treated with an anti-reflective and oil-repellent coating to minimise any reflections when you’re out and about.
New Remote Power Button
Turn your Grid Pad 10s on and off remotely with our latest accessible Remote Power Button. There are also two switch ports and the option to use the Remote Power Button as a wireless switch transmitter.
Second Screen
The second screen adds a whole new way to communicate by showing your message on the front of your device. This can be helpful in noisy environments in addition to using your Grid voice, helping you get your message across clearly to the person you’re communicating with.
When you’re creating your message in Grid – the text that you can see in your chat window also appears on your second screen. You’ll notice that if you’re using symbols, these also appear on the second screen, which is ideal for communicating with someone who uses symbols to support their understanding of language.
Now with Symoji!
Symoji is a fun new feature in Grid, enabling you to quickly communicate using an animated character. Use Symoji to add meaning or emotion to something you’ve said already or communicate a whole idea or feeling by itself, with a single selection.
When a Symoji is selected, it will appear on your second screen. There are lots of Symojis to choose from, divided into three categories to make it easy to find the one you want to use.
Symoji is built into Super Core, Text Talker and Fast Talker. You can also use the stand-alone Symoji grid set.
