If you insert a USB 2.0 Micro cable (with
the back of the device facing up), the
connector will insert into the left side of
the port. It will not fill the entire port.
If you insert a USB 3.0 Micro B cable, the
connector will fill the entire port.
While the battery is charging:
The battery indicator, located on the front of the device at the top, will
glow red during charging and turn blue when the battery is fully charged.

When the battery is fully charged:
1. Unplug the connector from the device.
2. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet (optional).
3. Tap the device’s power button to turn the display on.

Chat Fusion User’s Guide Page 13

If you purchased the optional wireless charger, you can charge the device
battery with the charger stand open and the unit sitting upright or with
the stand closed and the unit lying flat.
[side view of device in charger in both positions]
We suggest charging the battery each night.
1. Plug the charger into a wall outlet—a surge protector is
recommended.
2. Position the device stand against the back of the device.
3. Center the device on the charger with the back of the device against
the charger.
4. The battery indicator, located on the front of the device at the top,
should glow red. If the indicator does not illuminate, adjust the
position of the device in the charger.
[cropped view of top front of device with indicator called out]
5. The battery indicator will continue to glow red during charging and
turn blue when the battery is fully charged.
When the device is fully charged:
1. Remove the device from the charger.
2. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet (optional).
3. Tap the device’s power button to turn the display on.

Chat Fusion User’s Guide Page 14
Checking Battery Status
You can check the battery status of the device by navigating menus or by
having a button on a vocabulary page that checks the status.
Checking Battery Status Using Menus
You can check the battery status of the device by navigating menus.
Choose Menu > Settings > System > About Device.
The screen will show the battery charging status and charge level.
Checking Battery Status Using a Button
Some Saltillo-provided vocabulary files already include buttons for
checking the battery status. For example: WordPower™ offers the option
from the last page of Groups, and MultiChat 15 offers the button on the
Device Tools page from the second page of “Things”.
To create a button that checks the battery status of the device, create a
button on a vocabulary page that contains the action “Battery Status”.
1. Press and hold on the button you want to modify. (Right-click the
button if you are using Chat Editor.)
2. Choose Edit Button to display the Button Properties.
3. Choose the Actions tab.
4. Use the drop-down list to select the Battery status action.
5. Choose OK.
Any time you choose this button, the application will speak the battery
status of the device and display the information in the Speech Display
Bar (SDB).

Chat Fusion User’s Guide Page 15
For additional information on creating a button action, see “Adding or
Modifying a Button Action” on page 59.

Chat Fusion User’s Guide Page 16
Turning the Device On and Off
The power button is located on the top edge of the device.
To turn your device on from a complete power-down:
Press and hold the power button.
To turn your device off for storage:
1. Press and hold the power button.
2. At the prompt, choose Power off.
3. Choose OK to confirm.
To turn the screen on and off for daily use:
When using the device on a daily basis, tap the power button quickly to
turn just the screen on and off. We suggest tapping (not holding) the
power button to turn off the screen. Tap the power button to wake up the
screen.
To change the screen timeout setting:
The screen is set up to power down automatically after a specified period
of no activity. To change the period of delay between the last key press
or screen touch and the automatic screen timeout:
Choose Menu > Settings > System > Display Settings > Screen
Timeout and choose the appropriate setting.
