Hi, I'll explain it as best I can..

The AC adapter is rated at 2Amps (maximum current output). The device only draws the current it needs. So if the device only needed 1Amp, the device would only draw 1Amp from the AC adapter.
Which is why using an AC adapter which can't supply the current needed, is just as bad as having an AC adapter with too high a voltage. In this case… more than > 5.5v

The maximum continuous current that the device needs is actually 1.7A.
So using an AC adapter which can not supply at least 1.7Amps is not suitable.
