D1 User Guide

If GPS lock takes too long to achieve, or you have the D1 installed in a place where it’s internal
GPS antenna is unlikely to get a lock (such as in the panel), plug in the external GPS antenna
and ensure it has a clear view of the sky. The top of the panel glare shield is usually a good
choice for GPS antenna placement.

Go Fly! ™

You may find that you need to re-adjust the roll and pitch a bit more in flight. Simply press the
Rocker to re-adjust pitch and roll.

Adjusting Brightness for Night Flight

When not adjusting pitch, roll, or any other settings, moving the Rocker up and down will increase
and decrease the backlight of the display.

Protecting Your D1

Many cases that are designed for 4.3” and 5” automotive GPS units can work well for protecting
your D1 while in your flight bag. A variety of inexpensive options are available from Amazon.

Additionally, the rugged Pelican 1020 Micro Case is known to hold the D1 securely with no
modification required.
