CAUTIONS

  • Do not manipulate the simulator during start up, as the motors and sensors are calibrating during this phase.

  • Do not change the lighting conditions during start up, as some sensors on the simulator are light-sensitive.

When the simulator connects to the Graphical User Interface, the status LED turns off. The simulator starts breathing. A green checkmark appears next to the simulator icon in the status bar when the simulator is connected.

The battery status is shown in the same area. During charging, a charging animation is displayed on the battery icon.

Emma/Emily charges fastest when it is connected with the cable and is in standby mode.
