6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Charging Devices from a D-Tap Source
Once the Moman PD65 is connected to a D-Tap power source (like a V-mount battery) and a USB-C device, it will automatically begin charging the connected USB-C device. The adapter supports various fast charging protocols, including PD3.0, QC2.0, QC3.0, and others, to optimize charging speed for compatible devices.

6.2 Discharging (Charging a D-Tap Battery via USB-C)
The Moman PD65 supports bidirectional power. If your D-Tap battery is designed to accept charge via its D-Tap port, you can connect a USB-C power source (e.g., a USB-C wall charger) to the Moman PD65, and then connect the adapter's D-Tap end to your D-Tap battery. The adapter will then facilitate charging of the D-Tap battery.
Note: The Moman PD65 does not feature indicator lights. To confirm operation, observe the charging status on your connected device or the D-Tap battery, or note if the adapter becomes slightly warm during use, which is normal for power transfer.
