Connecting Hiru to iPad

  • Always use the cables and adapters (Satechi hub) that are included with your Hiru, along with the original Apple charger.
  • Connect the charger to the Hub, then connect the Hub to your iPad. Next, connect the USB-C cable to Hiru and the USB-A cable from the same cable to the Hub. Remember to always connect Hiru as the final step.

🌟 Tip:  Turn off your iPad and unplug the Hiru from the iPad once a day for best use. 

  • Make sure to properly close the Hiru app in the App-Switcher (by swiping up) and then open the Hiru app.

  • Check that your Hiru license is activated by ensuring the iPad is connected to Wifi during the connection process.
