Connecting to Power
To get started, find the retractable power cable (AC100-240V 50/60Hz) on the right side of the base
and plug it into an available AC Power Outlet with ground. If you’d like to retract the power cable,
carefully extend it to its maximum length (16 feet) and release it. The reel-tension system should
automatically wind the cable back into the base for easy storage and transportation. #
Next, press and hold the power button on located on right side of the device until the Pilot “beeps”,
signaling the start of the boot-up process. Boot-up typically takes around minute, but can vary across
models and usage. #

Power Save / Sleep Modes
If left idle, the Pilot will automatically enter power save
mode. To return your system from power save mode, touch
anywhere on the touch screen or press any key on the
keyboard. If left in power save mode for an extended period,
your Pilot will enter sleep mode. To exit sleep mode, press
the power button on the right side of the touch screen
module.

Getting Started
The Pilot includes a RJ45 ethernet port to simplify
imaging and facilitate wired networking. For detailed
instructions as well as the necessary drivers, please
email us at: [email protected]
For convenience, the Pilot’s required drivers are
saved on an included flash-drive for reinstallation
after imaging.

Activating Windows 10
Built-In PC
The Pilot features a fully-functional self-contained
PC, including an Intel i5 processor (or an Intel i7
processor with the Pilot Plus), a 500GB HDD (and
an additional 128GB SSD with the Pilot Plus), WiFi
and bluetooth connectivity, and other standard PC
features. An additional computer is not required to
operate the Pilot.
Once powered-on, your Pilot will operate the latest trial-
version of Windows 10. Essential functions, settings,
operations and commands are comparable to that of a
new Windows-operating desktop including interface and
system presets. A Windows license is not included, so a
license key will be needed to access the full capabilities.
For more information on how to use your Windows 10
operating system, see the full manual at

Adjusting the Pilot
Installing the Side Tray
The Pilot is easily height and tilt adjustable via the podium
control panel (located on the upper-right corner of the
podium surface). The podium can go from a minimum
height of 28in to a maximum height of 40in. The surface
can tilt from 0º (flat) to 30º (tilted).
The Podium’s adjustability is compliant with the ADA
wheelchair accessibility standards.
For added convenience, the Pilot includes an attachable side
tray for additional desk real-estate. The tray is sturdy enough to
support a laptop, and can be positioned right next to the HDMI
inputs for simple interfacing.
Before installation, make sure the Pilot is in flat mode. To install,
simply guide the trey into the two seating holes on either side of
the Pilot, and slide to the right until it locks in place. Next, insert
the support bar into the two support bar seating holes, and
fasten it with the included support bar key and nut.
