XHUD1000 IS NOT TO BE USED AS A PRIMARY FLIGHT INSTRUMENT

Introduction
The Dual XHUD1000 is a high performance Head Up Display for General
Aviation and Light Sport Aircraft. The device allows pilots to continuously
monitor critical flight data while keeping their head up and eyes forward.
Dual developed the XHUD1000 in collaboration with pilots to ensure it
provides the right mix of features for enhanced situational awareness.
With the XHUD1000, GA pilots can now benefit from modern features
previously only available in large advanced aircraft.
Set up and installation of the XHUD1000 is simple. After making the
wireless connections using Dual’s free ADS-B Status Tool app, the app
runs in the background and the mobile device is available for running
other apps. The XHUD1000 includes accessories for easy installation on
most aircraft. The unit is lightweight and ultra-compact, and has a folding
screen with adjustable viewing distance & angle.
The Dual XHUD1000 gives pilots the option to display data from portable
ADS-B receivers using the XHUD1000’s built-in graphics, or to display
external graphics from tablets and smartphones running 3rd party EFB
apps.
The XHUD1000’s built-in graphics include AHRS and Traffic modes. AHRS
mode displays altitude, ground speed, attitude, bank angle, and compass
heading in a classic HUD AHRS graphic for convenient monitoring of
flights. Traffic mode displays ADS-B traffic on a radar style graphic using
standard TCAS symbology, and has a selectable coverage range. For both
of these modes, the information displayed is based on data from portable
ADS-B GPS receivers.

As an alternative, pilots can operate the XHUD1000 in “Tablet Graphics”
mode to display external graphics from their tablet or smartphone
running EFB apps. This allows the XHUD1000 to display AHRS, synthetic
vision, or moving maps for navigation, which are features available on
most EFB apps. In this mode, several brands of portable GPS receivers can
be used to provide source data for EFB apps. The following brands of
portable GPS receivers have been verified to be compatible with the
XHUD1000 operating in Tablet Graphics mode:
•Dual
•Garmin
•Stratus
•Stratux
Note: For best HUD performance, it is recommended to operate the
XHUD1000 in either AHRS mode or Traffic mode. These modes utilize
Dual’s built-in HUD graphics. Operating the XHUD1000 in Tablet Graphics
mode may result lower image quality due to the graphics coming from
external apps that were designed for tablets & smartphones.

Since cockpit configurations and dimensions can vary considerably among
different airplane types, pilots should use their best judgement on how to
mount the XHUD1000 in their airplane. The included mounting
accessories can be used as needed.

5
Installation
The XHUD1000 has flexible mounting options to accommodate
installation in most small aircraft.

6
Setup
All XHUD1000 / mobile device settings should be made while the
aircraft is on the ground, and should be left unchanged during flight.
