Important note about charging your XGPS170D:
The XGPS170D includes a smart charging circuit, designed to safely draw current from the power source without the risk of damaging either the XGPS170D or the charging source. For safest and fastest charging, Dual strongly recommends using one of the following to charge your XGPS170D:
- The included 12–30V DC charger
- The included 110–240V wall charger or
- The 2.1 amp wall charger that comes with the iPad (not the small one for iPhone/iPod)
- Any 2.1 amp charger specifically labeled Made for iPad on the package
Other USB chargers, like generic cell phone chargers, will supply power to the XGPS170D, but will not provide enough current to charge the XGPS170D in a reasonable time. The XGPS170D may not charge completely and charging light on the XGPS170D may not turn green.
Additionally, we have received many reports that inexpensive, “no-name” USB wall chargers do not charge the device. If you are experiencing long charging times, short battery life, or the charging light never seems to turn green, please try charging the XGPS170D with one of the chargers recommended above.
