XHUD1000
OWNER’S MANUAL
Head Up Display (HUD)
XHUD1000 IS NOT TO BE USED AS A PRIMARY FLIGHT INSTRUMENT
2
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 3
rd
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 Mirroring mode to
display external graphics from their tablet or smartphone running EFB
apps. This allows the XHUD1000 to display AHRS, synthetic vision, or
3
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.
For best HUD performance, it is recommended to operate the XHUD1000
using its built-in graphics (AHRS and Traffic modes).
4
To achieve largest size image on HUD, the distance from Combiner to
Display Engine should be set to the maximum distance by adjusting the
locking lever. 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.

Tips for Best Performance
The XHUD1000 and its system perform at their best when there are
no other Wi-Fi or Bluetooth devices nearby. If you attempt to use
the XHUD1000 where there could be signal interference (e.g. house,
office, etc.), you may experience connection delay or latency.
To clean the combiner, it is recommended to use a non-abrasive
micro fiber cloth. Please refrain yourself from rinsing the combiner
with water since liquid and moisture can cause serious damage to
the device.
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.
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.
75
Troubleshooting
• Activating Airplane Mode on your mobile device will automatically
turn Bluetooth off. If you are using Airplane Mode, you will need to
manually turn Bluetooth on form your mobile device in order to use
the XHUD1000.
• The XHUD1000 will automatically connect to any mobile devices that
have previously been connected. Therefore, it is important to
perform “Forget This Device” for Apple or “Unpair” for Android from
any devices that have been used before in order to make connection
with a new mobile device.
• Not correctly following the setup steps may cause issues when
making wireless connections to use the XHUD1000. It is important to
follow the steps provided in this owner’s manual.
