Tips for best performance
• For best GPS reception, put the XGPS170D
in a location with a clear view of the sky.
• The ADS-B broadcast is a line-of-sight UHF
signal originating from both terrestrial and airborne
transmitters: weather is sent from ground stations,
and traffic is transmitted from both ground stations
and other aircraft. For the best ADS-B reception,
place the XGPS170D where the ADS-B antenna
has a clear view out of the cockpit window, i.e. not
down on a seat where the fuselage blocks signals
from reaching the antenna.
• The range of the Bluetooth connection will
drop as the battery level drops. If you find that the
wireless connection is failing, try recharging the
XGPS170D.
• Windshields with integrated heating elements
can severely attenuate GPS signals. If your aircraft
has these, we recommend placing the XGPS170D
in an unheated side window for best reception.
• You can renew the stickiness on the bottom
of the non-slip pad by washing the pad with warm
water and mild soap. Let the pad air dry or dry it
with a lint-free cloth.
