The Pilot X/S Podium is adjustable for a variety of usage models. It can be used as a desk, a
presentation lectern, a mobile teaching station, and more.
Moving the Podium
Adjusting Height
To move the podium, unlock the 4 wheels on the
Podium Wheel Base by pulling up on the levers
with the top of your foot. Use two hands to
slowly and carefully push the podium to the
desired location, and re-lock the 4 wheels once
in position.
Adjusting Tilt Angle
You can easily adjust the Podium Surface’s tilt
angle to thrLLZL[[PUNZ!¢ÅH[¢HUK¢To

Dial by turning it counterclockwise. With the
wheel unlocked, use two hands to carefully tilt
Podium Surface to the desired tilt angle. When
you are done adjusting the tilt angle, it’s
important to re-lock the Tilt Adjustment Dial by
turning it clockwise until the lock engages.
The podium uses an internal pneumatic cylinder
system to make height adjustments easy. Height
JHUYHUNLIL[^LLUPUJOLZTo adjust the
height, simply press the Height Adjustment
Foot Pedal and push down or pull up on the
Podium Surface with two hands. Release the
foot pedal when the desired height is reached.
When using the podium in the tilted position, the
included Magnetic Anti-Slip Bumpers can be
used to keep papers and other objects from
sliding off the podium. Because the Podium
Surface is ferromagnetic, the bumpers can affix
anywhere on the glass surface.

Moving and Adjusting the Podium 8

The Pilot X/S Podium features an internal battery that can charge the tablet while docked or stored in the
tablet bay. This dual-charging feature extends the tablet battery life, allowing for up to 6 hours of use
(depending on the usage model). The podium should be charged overnight for sufficient battery life
throughout the day. When used alone, the tablet can achieve up to 3 hours of use under standard operating
conditions. To conserve battery life, make sure the document camera is folded away when not in use
(Page 17).
To charge the Podium, plug the Podium Power Adapter into an available A/C Power Outlet. Next, connect
the charging connector to the Podium Charging Port on the right side of the podium.
The Podium Charging Indicator is located on the upper left corner of the Podium Surface. When the
podium is receiving a charge, the three blue lights on the “Pilot Internal Battery” charNPUNPUKPJH[VY^PSSÅHZO
in succession. If the indicator is not lighting up, ensure the Podium Power Adapter is connected properly.
When the podium is disconnected from the Podium Power Adapter, the Podium Charging Indicator will
show the current battery level. Three solid blue lights mean that the podium battery is at 75%-100% of its
capacity; Two solid blue lights mean that the podium battery is between 50%-74% of its capacity; One solid
blue light means that the podium is between 25%-49% of its capaJP[`"6ULÅHZOPUNIS\LSPNO[TLHUZ[OH[[OL
podium is less than 25% of its capacity, and should be charged soon.
