Dynon D3 - General Usage

Using Your D3
D3 Pilot’s Guide 5-5
• If you are using the Vehicle Power Adapter to provide continuous power to the D3, route the
wire through the channel along the bottom right of the cradle.
Pinch Mount
• The pinch mount is designed to allow portable use of the D3 in an empty standard 3 ⅛” aircraft
instrument hole.
• Retract the mount’s retention arms by pinching together the finger holes on the front of the
mount.
• With the retention arms pinched together, place the pinch mount flush against the panel over
the instrument hole.
• Let go to wedge the arms in the instrument hole.
• Ensure that the mount meets the roll, pitch and yaw mounting criteria above.
• Check that the mount and cradle are secure.
• Clip the D3 into the cradle. Start with the bottom of the D3. The D3 will positively snap into the
cradle as you press the top side in. The cradle’s wings will sit flush along the top and bottom
faces of the D3 when it is fully clipped in.
• Check that the D3 is secure.
• If you are using the Vehicle Power Adapter to provide continuous power to the D3, 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 D3’s view of the sky is likely to be obscured by aircraft structure.
