Charging and Power Usage
On a fully charged battery, you can use Orbit for approximately 8 hours. The 4 Pad Bank
Selectors will flash when Orbit's battery is low and needs to be charged.
To check Orbit's battery level, hold down Virtual Knob Selector K1. The 4 Pad Bank
Selectors will light up to indicate how much battery power is remaining (when all 4 Pad Bank
Selectors are lit, Orbit has a full battery). Release Virtual Knob Selector K1 and wait a few
seconds for Orbit to return to normal operation.
To charge Orbit, use the included mini-USB cable to connect it to (A) your computer's USB
port (with the computer powered on) or (B) a standard USB power adapter connected to a
power source. (You can still use Orbit even while it is charging.) Orbit's Charging LED will light
up when it is charging and turn off when it is fully charged. It takes approximately 3 hours to
charge Orbit's battery fully.
Important: Any battery's charge can deplete gradually even when it is not being used. If Orbit's
charge does not last for long during its first use or after a long period of disuse, charge it fully!
Orbit's Power-Save Mode will activate after 3 minutes of inactivity—Orbit will "go to sleep" to
preserve its battery charge. Move Orbit again to "wake it up."
Color Customization
You can select the color of the light for each pad in each bank, allowing you to color-code your
pads or banks to distinguish between their different functions in your software.
Orbit's memory is non-volatile, which means it will retain your color settings even after you
power Orbit off.
To select a color for a pad:
1.
Press and hold down any Pad Bank Selector for 3 seconds, and then press either
shoulder button. The Virtual Knob Selectors will flash to indicate Orbit is in Color Selection
Mode (and is not currently controlling the software). Release all buttons.
2.
Use the Pad Bank Selectors to select a bank, and then press the pad whose color you
want to select. (You can select multiple pads simultaneously. Press a selected pad to de-
select it.)
3.
Use the shoulder buttons to cycle through the different available colors, which will be
shown in the selected pads.
4.
Press and hold down any Pad Bank Selector, and then press either shoulder button. The
Virtual Knob Selectors will stop flashing, and Orbit's new pad color settings will be saved.
To clear/reset all colors for the pads:
1.
Make sure Orbit is off.
2.
Press and hold down Pad Bank Selectors 1 and 4, and then power Orbit on.
3.
Press the upper-left-most pad (the pad labeled "a" in the diagram on the previous page).
The pad light colors will be reset to their factory defaults.
