Using Your D1

D1 User Guide

If you are using the Vehicle Power Adapter to provide continuous power to the D1, route the
wire through the channel along the bottom right of the cradle.

When using the pinch mount, Dynon highly recommends using the optional external GPS
antenna as the D1’s view of the sky is likely to be obscured by aircraft structure.

Figure 15 - Pitch Adjust Mode

Figure 16 - Roll Adjust Mode

With the D1 powered on, press the rocker to enter Pitch Adjust Mode. Move the rocker up or
down until the displayed pitch matches the pitch of the aircraft.

Depress the rocker again to adjust roll. Move the rocker up or down until the displayed roll
angle indication matches the actual roll angle of the aircraft. If your aircraft is perfectly level,
this means that that you want the horizon level and the ball centered.

The roll and pitch adjust modes will automatically exit after a few seconds of inactivity.

Wait for a GPS fix. When a GPS fix is attained, the upper left corner of the display will show GPS
signal strength, and the main display will display flight instruments.
