Align the D2 for Flight

Figure 16 - Pitch Adjust Mode

Figure 17 - Roll Adjust Mode

With the D2 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.

If GPS lock takes too long to achieve, or you have the D2 installed in a place where its 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.
