ABOUT STRATUS 1S/2S
Stratus 1S and 2S (hereinafter referred to as “receivers”) are battery-
operated portable receivers that work in conjunction with the ForeFlight
Mobile app. They provide pilots with subscription-free in-ight weather
and trafc and are a source of accurate Wide Area Augmentation System
(WAAS) GPS position. They receive Automatic Dependent Surveillance-
Broadcast (ADS-B) weather information (FIS-B), trafc information (TIS-B),
and other related data and broadcast it to ForeFlight Mobile via a Wi-Fi
network.
Stratus 2S is also an attitude heading reference system (AHRS), ight
data recorder, and pressure altitude sensor. See pages 17 and 18 for more
information about these features.
These receivers are classied as Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs) and
complement the instrument panel in your aircraft. If there is a discrepancy
between a receiver and the instrument panel, use the readings on your
instrument panel.
ABOUT FOREFLIGHT
Stratus receivers work exclusively with the ForeFlight Mobile app to
display the information collected by the receivers. For more information
about any of the features available through ForeFlight Mobile, refer to the
ForeFlight Mobile Pilot’s Guide, which is available within the app or at the
ForeFlight Mobile website.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
The receiver comes with a Type-A to Type-C USB charging cable.
Fully charge the receiver’s battery prior to rst use. To charge the battery:
1. Insert the charging cord’s Type-A USB plug into the wall charger’s
port.
2. Plug the Type-C USB plug into the receiver’s charging port. There is
no designated top or bottom and can be plugged in with either side
facing up.
3. Plug the wall charger into an electric wall outlet. When connected
to an external power source, the power LED will pulse. Refer to the
LED Indicator table on page 14 to determine when the battery is fully
charged.
NOTE: You may check the battery’s current charge level from the Stratus
Status page in ForeFlight. See page 19 for more information.
WARNING: Use of non-approved battery chargers may result in
decreased battery performance, permanent damage to the USB port,
and/or inoperability of the receiver, and voids the warranty. The receiver
requires a 2.1 amp charger. Most computer ports do not supply 2.1 amps.

USING BATTERY POWER
If the receiver is not connected to an external power adapter, such as a
wall charger or vehicle power adapter, it will automatically draw power
from its internal battery. The battery is non-servicable.
STRATUS REPLAY
To extend your iPad battery life, you may allow the iPad to sleep or
switch to an app other than ForeFlight Mobile. Once you return to
ForeFlight Mobile, the receiver will automatically send any missed ADS-B
weather information to the app.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
Do not operate the receiver in environments where temperatures exceed
35°C (95°F). The receiver is equipped with a thermal sensor that will alter
the function of the unit at high temperatures.

BATTERY CARE
The receiver can run off of battery power for about 8 hours when it is
new. Use the following guidelines for maximum battery performance.
• Do not store the receiver in environments where temperatures exceed
45°C (113°F) or are lower than -20°C (-4°F).
• Do not store the receiver for long periods of time without charging.
This can permanently damage the overall battery capacity.
• The receiver contains a fan inside the battery compartment that will
turn on if the battery reaches a high temperature. The fan draws
ambient air in through vents on the front of the device and exhausts
warm air through vents on the back. If dash mounted, place the front
of the receiver as close to the pilot as possible so that it can draw air
from the cabin.
• The receiver contains a lithium battery. Do not disassemble the
device. Do not incinerate or puncture the device or the battery.
• Ensure that disposal of the receiver is in accordance with local
requirements for the recycling of electronic appliances and batteries.
• Check with current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules before
carrying the device on checked luggage.
It is normal for a lithium battery to lose capacity after many charge/dis-
charge cycles or if it is subjected to high temperatures.

PLACING RECEIVER IN AIRCRAFT
The snap-in window mount secures the receiver to its mounting location
during ight. Stratus 2S should not be powered on until it has been
mounted so that it can correctly calibrate.
To mount the receiver in the aircraft:
1. Position the mount in the desired location inside of the
aircraft.
2. Lay the receiver in the snap-in mount so that it is leaning
against the longer arm of the mount’s cradle. The LEDs
and Stratus logo should face the back of the aircraft. If
the receiver is facing the wrong direction, AHRS data (2S
only) will be incorrect and the chance of overheating will be
signicantly increased.
NOTE: The arrow on the back of the receiver should point in
the direction of ight.
3. Press on the top of the receiver until the device snaps into
place in the cradle, as shown in the gure on the following
page.
NOTE: The window mount provides better reception and better
temperature control than a dash mount. However, an optional dash mount
is available from your Stratus retailer. This mount allows for mounting the
receiver on the glare shield.
