Battery
The capacity of the battery will allow you, in normal flight conditions, from 13 to 20 hours of usage,
depending on the backlight intensity, on the speaker volume, on use of GPRS, on use of Bluetooth
and environment conditions (light & temperature).
The battery status is shown in the control bar by the “battery” icon. The number underneath the icon
shows the remaining capacity in percentage. This is displayed also by the icons that change in
sequence:
When the battery is almost completely empty, C-Pilot PRO warns you by showing an alert window.
After approx eight seconds, C-Pilot PRO turns automatically off.
You can force the device to stay on till the battery lasts (you get 20 minutes more of usage) by
pressing the “ok” button in the alert window. Please remember that this is an emergency procedure.
Use it only when strictly necessary as it might lead to data loss. The backlight of the display is
disabled to increase the remaining time as much as possible.
Warning: if the battery level goes below a predefined security setting (3.2 V), it will
not be possible to turn on the device without recharging the battery above the
security level. Please note that, in this situation, recharging will occur very slowly to
protect the battery.
While charging the battery, the icons cycle with an interval of approx 3 seconds.
Recharging the battery
We recommend recharging the device while it is switched off to shorten the recharge time to a
maximum of eight hours from a completely drained battery. While it is off and recharging, the
backlight will make a short flash every 15 seconds to show that the charge is in progress. A
double flash indicates that the charge is complete. While recharging the red light under the left side
rubber cover is switched on.
Warning: please note the peculiar sequence of flashes that C-Pilot EVO’s diaplay
does when you switch it on. If you see the same flashes while recharging the unit,
then it is quite likely that the charger that you are using is not powerful enough and it
is not recharging your battery
If you leave C-Pilot EVO off for a very long time, the battery might discharge completely. The
internal protection of the battery will prevent it to be damaged, but you may not be able to switch the
device on even when you plug in the charger. In this case it is necessary to wait some hours to allow
