DX15 User Guide 6‐9
Appendix G: Using the (optional) Vehicle Power Adapter
In situations where a cigarette lighter power outlet is available, the
Vehicle Power Adapter can be used to power and simultaneously charge
your DX15.
Connecting your Vehicle Power Adapter to voltage outside its labeled range
will damage your DX15, requiring repair or replacement not covered by
warranty. When in doubt, test the aircraft power outlet with a voltmeter to
be sure the input voltage is acceptable for the version of the Vehicle Power
Adapter you have purchased.
To connect your DX15 to the Vehicle Power Adapter:
 Connect the radio power
connector to the DX15's DC
input jack as illustrated.
 Plug the cigarette lighter plug
into a cigarette lighter power
outlet.
When your DX15 is connected to
external power, it will charge the
battery whether your DX15 is
turned on or off. During charging
the Battery Charge Icon will flash
to indicate that it is charging.
When charging is complete, the Battery Charge Icon will remain solid and
icon will appear full.
The Battery Charge Icon visually indicates the charge remaining in the
battery.
A discharged battery will require between 6‐10 hours to fully charge via
the Vehicle Power Adapter. While the DX15 can be used to receive
and/or transmit while charging, such usage will increase the time it takes
for the battery to fully charge.
