Batteries in the Device
Batteries
The TD Pilot device has two built-in batteries. One battery in the iPadOS device and one in the TD Pilot Base.
To check the battery status of the iPad in the TD Pilot
- In TD Talk the battery status will be shown in the top right corner of the screen.
- In TD Snap® the battery status is displayed on the Dashboard.
- In TD CoPilot, see Battery
To check the battery status of the TD Pilot Base in the TD Pilot:
- Momentarily press the power button while the unit is on.
- In TD CoPilot, see Battery
An indication of battery level will appear on the Partner Window for a couple of seconds showing the battery status of the TD Pilot Base. There is no battery indicator (e.g. LED) that sends out a warning when the battery is low. Power is shared between the iPadOS device battery and the TD Pilot battery so that, under continuous use, they will reach 0% at about the same time. iPadOS will produce its own warning on the iPadOS device screen at 10% and 5% remaining. Normally this means that the TD Pilot battery is running low too. For more information, see Technical Specifications.
Charging the Device
- Connect the USB-C Power cable to the USB-C Power Connector on the TD Pilot device.
- Connect the Power adapter to an electrical outlet and charge the TD Pilot device until the battery is fully charged.
The TD Pilot will automatically start up when charging the device if the TD Pilot is off.
For device storage and battery charging temperatures, see Safety.
