Using Your D1

6-2

D1 User Guide

Plug the AC Power Adapter into a standard wall plug, or the Vehicle Power Adapter into a
vehicle DC socket. The Vehicle Power Adapter is designed to work in cars, 14V aircraft, and 28V
aircraft.

Connect the Power Adapter to the PWR port on the right side of the D1.

Leave connected for 4 hours to completely charge from empty. Less time will be needed if the
battery is partially charged. The D1 may optionally be powered off while it is charging.

To check for a full charge, disconnect the Power Adapter from the D1 and wait 60 seconds for
the battery charge indicator to stabilize. Confirm that it is fully charged.

CHARGE VIA USB

The D1 may also be charged via the mini-USB port on its left side. Any standard mini-USB power
adapter that outputs standard USB power (5V DC) may be used. Charging via mini-USB will take
considerably longer than when using an AC or Vehicle Power Adapter. The exact charge time will
vary with the capability of the mini-USB power adapter used. Additionally, note that attaching
USB power to a powered of D1 will not power it on like attaching power to the PWR port does.

If you use a computer as your USB power source, the D1’s file system can be seen on your computer.
Changing any of the D1’s files will likely cause it to become unstable or inoperable. Additionally, do not
use the D1’s file system as a storage device.

ADJUSTING SETTINGS

You can adjust settings such as ground speed units (KTS / MPH / KPH), altitude units (feet /
meters), whether or not the D1 turns off when external power is removed/lost, and whether the
D1 automatically shuts down after 15 minutes of inactivity (while also not moving). To adjust
these settings on your D1:

Press and hold the Menu Button to enter the Settings Menu.
