The battery status can be checked by navigating menus or by having a button on a vocabulary page that checks the status.  Some Saltillo provided vocabulary files already include buttons for checking the battery status.  For instance: ChatPower offers the option from the last page of Groups, MultiChat 15 offers the button on the Device Tools page from the 2nd page of “Things”

To create a button that checks the battery status: (both NOVA Chat device & Amp)

  • Tap on the Actions tab
  • Use the drop down list to select the Battery status action
  • Tap OK

The Battery status button will speak and display the current battery capacity of the NOVA Chat device and the Amplifier battery.

 

To check the NOVA Chat device battery status through menus:

  • Choose Menu>Settings>System>About Device

Here you will find the current status and battery level of just the NOVA Chat device.
