Tips for best performance
• For best GPS reception, put the XGPS190 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 XGPS190 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
XGPS190.
• Windshields with integrated heating elements
can severely attenuate GPS signals. If your aircraft
has these, we recommend placing the XGPS190
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.
Troubleshooting
• In most locations, it is not possible to receive
ADS-B weather or traffic signals from a ground
transmitter unless you are airborne (sometimes
as high as 2000 feet AGL.). ADS-B broadcasts
are also not available in all areas of the US yet.

• If the XGPS190 does not automatically recon-
nect to your tablet/smart phone, turn off both de-
vices and then turn on the XGPS190 after turning
on your tablet/smart phone.
• Activating Airplane Mode on an iOS device
will turn off Bluetooth automatically. If you are us-
ing Airplane Mode, you will need to manually re-
enable Bluetooth on the iOS device, and then turn
on the XGPS190.
• If you cannot pair the XGPS190 with a device:
Step 1.
Check to see if the XGPS190 is still
connected to a previous device: if the blue light on
the XGPS190 is not blinking, it is connected to at
least one other device. Turn off Bluetooth on the
previously paired device, or move the device out
of Bluetooth range.
Step 2
. Completely power down and reboot
both the device and the XGPS190.
• The battery in the XGPS190 is not user-ser-
