Page | 5 1.0 QUICK OPERATING GUIDE Since the FIRESTORM is shipped from the factory with no batteries installed; the first step is to install 8 “AA” batteries. These may be alkaline or rechargeable types. We strongly recommend high capacity NiMH rechargeable batteries over alkaline types for maximum performance, particularly when using loud volume levels. 1.1 Installing Batteries in the FIRESTORM 1.  To install batteries, remove the battery door. The battery door is located on the side of the caller, and is held in place with a knurled thumbscrew. 2.  Orient the batteries as per the directions shown in each cavity within the holder.  NOTE: The battery polarity alternates.  3.  Replace the battery door after the batteries are installed.   1.2 Installing the TX9 Battery  The TX9 transmitter operates from a 9V battery. Please use a high quality alkaline battery.  1.  Remove the battery compartment cover located on the rear of the transmitter.  2.  Connect the 9V battery to the connector plug, and orient the battery in the transmitter.  3.  Replace the battery compartment cover.   1.3 Playing Sounds Manually 1.  Make sure that at least 1 of the speaker selector slide switches is set to the right, or “ON” position.    2.  Click the On/Off/Volume switch to the on position. Please note that this switch is also the volume control when the unit is operated without the remote control. The further clockwise you turn the knob, the louder the unit will play. At this point, the LCD display on the FIRESTORM should display two bars “- -“.
Page | 6 3.  Press the up or down arrow keypad button on the FIRESTORM to select a sound number. Once selected, release the button, and the sound will play. To select a different sound, simply press the up or down arrow buttons again to your desired sound. Please note that by pressing and holding either the up or down keys the numbers will ramp slowly at first, and then increase to a faster ramp speed.  1.4 Playing Sounds with the TX9 Remote Control 1.  Turn on the TX9 remote control by pressing and holding the “PWR” button for a few seconds.  2.  Use the sound up or sound down arrow buttons to scroll through your available sounds. The selector bar highlights the sound that is currently selected. NOTE: When scrolling through sounds, the playlist will change in pages. The first page will show sounds 000 – 005, page two will show 006 – 011, etc. 3.  After you pick the sound you wish to play, press the “SEND” button. The sound number is displayed on the screen the bottom left side after you have press “SEND”. 4.  Raise your volume level by pressing and holding the volume up button. As you raise the volume level, the on screen volume level indicator will increment. You can decrease the volume by pressing and holding the volume down button. 5.  Use the mute button to pause/stop the sound you are playing. 6.  To switch sounds, repeat step 2.  7.  To turn off the TX9, press and hold the “PWR”/”SEND” button for a few seconds. You will see a message appear on the screen saying “Release key to turn off transmitter”. As soon as you release your hold on the button, the TX9 will power down.  2.0 ABOUT THE SPEAKERS The FIRESTORM incorporates two different types of loudspeakers. The front speaker is a high efficiency horn with maximum sensitivity in the frequency range necessary to reproduce small animal distress sounds. Distress sounds of rabbits, small rodents, birds, canines, and many others are best reproduced by using the front horn only with the rear cone speaker turned off. This will also ensure maximum battery life as playing both speakers requires almost twice as much battery power.    The rear cone speaker is best suited to sounds that have significant lower frequency content. These sounds would include bear growls, mountain lion roars, certain owl hoots and some other large mammal sounds. The rear speaker, however, is not as efficient as the front horn. Because of this, it will not play as loud as the horn. Understand that not all calling sounds will benefit greatly from playing both speakers at once. If you elect to do this, remember that battery life will be reduced.
Page | 7  2.1 Using External Speakers The FIRESTORM is equipped with two External Speaker Jacks which allows you to connect up to two additional speakers. The internal speakers perform admirably; however, you may encounter situations that require higher volume levels. By connecting a larger and more efficient external speaker(s) to the FIRESTORM, the volume level can be increased significantly.   2.2 Connecting External Speakers The external speaker jacks on your FIRESTORM accept standard 3.5mm plugs. When choosing an external speaker it is recommended to use one with an impedance rating of 8-ohms.   NOTE: Be sure the FIRESTORM is turned OFF before connecting an external speaker.  To connect an external speaker, plug the connector of the external speaker into one of the external speaker jacks. You will notice that each external speaker jack corresponds with one of the internal speakers. For example, internal front speaker and front external speaker are linked together. If you wish to have ONLY the external speaker(s) produce sound, you must disable the internal speakers as the internal speakers are not disabled automatically.   2.3 Disabling Internal Speakers Move the speaker slide switch to the “OFF” position for the desired speaker you wish to disable (front or back). The following image shows that each internal speaker has an independent on/off switch.             To re-enable the speaker later, simply place the slide switch back to the “ON” position. By disabling the internal speaker(s) when using an external speaker(s), battery life will be extended longer than having all of the speakers operating at once.     3.0 BATTERIES AND CHARGING Your FIRESTORM operates on 8 “AA” batteries. For optimal performance and run times, we recommend high capacity 2000 mAh or greater NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable cells rather than alkaline types.
Page | 8  CAUTION: NEVER CONNECT ANYTHING OTHER THAN A FOXPRO® APPROVED CHARGER TO THE CHARGE JACK!    NOTE: Remove batteries from battery holder when caller will not be used for prolonged periods to help prevent deep discharge.   When you ask your FIRESTORM caller to play at extremely loud volume levels, the current demand on the batteries is much more than alkaline cells can deliver. Consequently, the run time of these batteries can be very short. The Zinc Carbon so-called “Heavy Duty” cells are expressly NOT recommended at all. The performance of your FIRESTORM will be much better with high capacity NiMH batteries.   CAUTION: Never attempt to charge batteries that are not intended to be recharged! This includes both Zinc Carbon and alkaline cells. The resulting damage can be serious, and will not be covered by the warranty.   For maximum charge efficiency, we recommend charging your FIRESTORM in temperatures ranging from 40°F to 85°F (5°C to 30°C).   To charge the batteries connect the FOXPRO® 8 ‘AA’ charger (available from most FOXPRO® dealers and factory direct) to the FIRESTORM charge jack. Be aware that the green LED may or may not extinguish when the batteries are fully charged. Your FOXPRO® unit incorporates circuitry to terminate charge current if high battery temperatures are detected. Battery temperatures increase at the end of the charge cycle. If the temperature edges towards a dangerous level, the charge current will be interrupted and the green LED will extinguish. If excessive temperature is not detected, the green LED will not be extinguished. It is quite possible for the batteries to be fully charged without their temperature rising to the dangerous level. For this reason, the LED should not be considered as a “full charge” indicator as it may or may not extinguish when the batteries are fully charged. The batteries are fully charged any time their temperature rises substantially above ambient. How long this takes depends on how much charge has been taken from the batteries and how much time has passed since the last charge. If the green LED goes out, the batteries are definitely charged. If the green LED is on and the batteries are cool, they are still charging. If the green LED is on and the batteries are very warm, they are fully charged and you should terminate the charge by unplugging the charger. You should not permit the charge to continue for more than 12 hours under any circumstances. The batteries need to be recharged when the “Low Battery” LED is blinking while the FIRESTORM is in use. If this warning is ignored, the FIRESTORM will abruptly shut off and display “LO” on the LCD display. Battery run time is directly related to how loud you operate the FIRESTORM. Using both speakers at the same time rather than only the most appropriate one will have a negative impact on run time.
Page | 9 With one speaker playing, expect 6 to 15 hours of run time, depending on the loudness setting. With both speakers playing, expect 3 to 10 hours. Remember that very loud volumes are rarely needed, as animals hear much better than we do.  4.0 “AUX” JACK FUNCTION The FIRESTORM is equipped with an auxiliary jack labeled “AUX”. The purpose of this jack is to allow for the connection of certain external devices, such as the FOXPRO® Jack-in-the-Box or Jack-Attack Decoy and to be able to turn these on and off with the TX9 remote control transmitter. However, there are some strict electrical limits involved with this jack. If these limits are exceeded, damage to your FIRESTORM will result. This damage is not covered by the warranty.   The electrically inclined will want to know that the jack is connected to the drain of an internal Field Effect Transistor with a maximum current rating of 100mA. The “tip” polarity of the 3.5mm jack is positive, while the sleeve is negative. If the external device is connected with the polarity reversed, an internal protection diode within the FET will conduct, causing the device to stay on constantly. The maximum voltage applied to this jack must never exceed 15 volts. Typical uses for this jack would be to control the FOXPRO® Jack-in-the-Box or Jack-Attack Decoy, or to start and stop a video recorder. Instructions on connecting various devices to the “AUX” jack are beyond the scope of this manual. You are urged to seek help from a knowledgeable professional before connecting any unapproved device to this jack. Remember that damage to your FIRESTORM caused by improper use of the “AUX” jack is not covered by the warranty, nor will FOXPRO® be liable for damage to any device connected to this jack.    5.0 USING EXTERNAL POWER SOURCES CAUTION: NEVER CONNECT ANYTHING OTHER THAN A FOXPRO® APPROVED CHARGER TO THE CHARGE JACK! Doing so will surely cause damage to the FIRESTORM as well as to the batteries. This damage is not covered by the warranty.   Unlike some older FOXPRO game calls, you cannot connect an external power source to the charge jack on the FIRESTORM. An external power source can only be connected through the back of the unit where the battery tray connects. FOXPRO offers a replacement door for the FIRESTORM that is fitted with the appropriate jack for connecting an external power supply.  The design of the FIRESTORM permits the use of certain external power sources, so long as some precautions are observed. The 8-cell internal battery pack will serve about 98 percent of the users about 98 percent of the time. This makes for a caller that is compact and lightweight, highly portable, and has very
Page | 10 good battery life. However, we recognized that there may be times when extended run-times and additional loudness are more important than light weight and absolute portability. You can have the best of both worlds with the FIRESTORM!   By connecting a large external 12-volt battery to the external power adapter replacement door (sold separately at FOXPRO), you can operate the FIRESTORM and obtain run-times measured in days rather than hours. The internal NiMH battery pack supplies 9.6 volts to the power amplifier, while an external battery can supply up to 14 volts. This additional voltage will offer an increase in power output to the speakers, equating to additional loudness. But there is a double-edged sword involved here. By giving the user the ability to get more power from the amplifier, there is also a much greater chance of causing damage to the built-in speakers. For this reason, we recommend using one of our large external speakers, such as the SP108, if you really need to, say, call crows from the next county. Not only are these speakers more efficient, they will have no problem dealing with the extra power.   NOTE: If you must use extreme volume without the external speaker, use only the front horn. The rear cone speaker is somewhat more delicate than the front horn. Please be careful with the volume control, and remember these cautions when using an external battery:  1.  NEVER connect an external battery to the charge jack. 2.  NEVER connect a battery or power supply capable of delivering more than 15 volts to the charge jack. 3.  NEVER charge the external battery while it is connected to the FIRESTORM. 4.  ALWAYS use a 5 amp (max) fuse in the positive battery lead. 5.  ALWAYS act responsibly with the volume control to prevent speaker   damage. 6.  For maximum possible loudness, use one of our optional external speakers, such as the SP108.

Once you have completed the installation of the program, this icon can be deleted.  The actual program will be in your program files on your computer, and is called FOXPRO® Programmer.  The Programming Utility is also stored on the FIRESTORM memory card.   To download and install the Programming Utility from your FIRESTORM 1.  Connect your FIRESTORM to your PC with a standard USB cable (type A/B). Once the FIRESTORM is recognized by the PC it will be assigned a drive letter.  2.  Enter your “MY COMPUTER” icon and locate the FIRESTORM from the list of available drive letters. Once you have located the drive for the FIRESTORM, double-click on the icon to open it up.  3.  After the drive is opened, locate the file named labelutil.exe and then refer to steps 6 through 9 for installation of the Programming Utility.  7.3 Programming with the Utility  To gain access to the FIRESTORM’s USB port
Page | 16 1.  Remove the battery compartment door from the back side of the FIRESTORM and remove the batteries. The USB port will be accessible through the bottom of the battery compartment.   2.  Connect a USB cable between this port, and the USB port on your computer.  Once the connection is made, your computer should recognize the FIRESTORM as a removable drive.  Programming Process 1.  Double click the folder on your desktop or go to your programs folder and open the FOXPRO® Programmer. You will be prompted to make a backup of your sounds.  2.  Select OK, you will then be taken to the programming utility.    3.  Select the proper USB drive for the FIRESTORM. This is marked as Select Device, located in the upper right portion of the programming utility.  NOTE:    This  drive  varies  on  different  computers.  Once  you  have selected the drive, the list of sounds currently on your FIRESTORM appears in the right vertical window. You will now notice that a new button  appears  above  the  Select  Device  window  that  reads “Backup”.    If  you  have  not  made  a  backup  of  your  sounds,  simply click  on  this  button.    The  programmer  by  default  will  backup  your sounds to a “FOXPRO®” folder, and a sub folder “Backup”.  This is also a good folder to use to add new sounds prior to adding sounds, or  reprogramming  your  FIRESTORM.  You  can  also  create  sub folders  for  different  species,  if  you  choose,  rather  than  to  have  all sounds located in one folder. Once your backup is complete, you are ready to reprogram your FIRESTORM.    4.  Select the “source” folder of your new sounds (Located on the left hand side of the programmer screen).  This is the folder where your sounds are located.    5.  Double click on the C:\ prompt, and locate the “FOXPRO®” folder. The sounds sub folder should show up, assuming that you have used this folder to store your sounds.  If this is not the folder that your sounds are located in, select the proper folder.   6.  Once the proper folder is selected, double click the folder. The sounds should now appear in the left side column, called “Source Sound Files”.    Now, determine the position that you would like to add new sounds to your FIRESTORM.  For example, if you would like to add the Jackrabbit Distress to
Page | 17 your FIRESTORM, highlight the sound in the left side column.      NOTE:  If this sound does not have a three digit number and a space located  at  the  beginning  of  it,  you  must  check  the  Append  Sound Number box located below the left column.  By selecting this box, the sound  name  will not  be  shortened.   If there is a  three digit number and a space before the name of the sound, there is no need to check this box.  The first four characters will be either truncated or ignored, by not selecting this box.     7.  Select the position in the right column where you would like to add the sound.  If you want to overwrite the sound in that position, then click on the overwrite box, located between the two columns. This will replace the current sound in that position.    NOTE:  The sound that was located in that position will be deleted.  If you choose to insert the sound in that position and move all other sounds down one, click the insert button.  This will add the sound in that position and not overwrite the current sound.  If you would like to remove sounds from the right side column before adding new ones, simply  highlight  the  sound,  and  click  on  the  “Remove  From  List” button, located between the two columns.    If you would like to relocate a sound in the right sound column, you can highlight the sound and then type the position number that you would like to move it to in the “Move To” box (located below the right side column). This will move the sound to your designated number. You can also highlight the sound that you wish to move on the right column, and then click on the up or down arrows below the right side column to move the sound one position at a time. If you would like to reset your list at any time, click on the Clear/Reset List button located on the right side of the screen. This will reset the list to its initial sounds.  8.  Click on the “Copy to Caller” button located on the right side of the screen. Your sounds will now be programmed to your FIRESTORM.  IMPORTANT  NOTE:    Your  FIRESTORM  will  play  .FXP,  .mp3  and .wav  files.    Other  file  types  are  not  supported.  Although  you  may store  .FXP  and  .24b  sounds  on  your  computer  for  later  use,  they cannot  be  played  on  your  computer,  or  on  any  audio  player  other than a FOXPRO® caller.  7.4 Downloading a New Playlist to the TX9 Now that you are done programming your FIRESTORM, you are ready to download the new playlist to the TX9 transmitter. You will need to obtain a 3.5mm male-to-male stereo patch cable for this process.  1.  Disconnect all accessories from the FIRESTORM (i.e. speakers or
Page | 18 decoy) 2.  Turn the power off on both the FIRESTORM and the TX9.   3.  Connect patch cable from the sound upload jack on the TX9 to the AUX jack on the FIRESTORM. 4.  Turn on the TX9  5.  After being powered on, the TX9 display will say “TURN ON CALLER TO BEGIN TRANSFER” 6.  Power on the FIRESTORM. The display should show two solid dashes “- -“. 7.  The display on the TX9 will display “TRASNFERRING DATA PLEASE WAIT”.  When it’s done, the display will say “TRANSFER COMPLETE REMOVE CABLE”.  8.  Unplug the cable from both the transmitter and FIRESTORM 9.  Press and hold the send button for several seconds. The playlist has been transferred.  NOTE:  This  process  may  take  a  few  seconds.  DO NOT  turn  off  the  TX9  or  FIRESTORM  during  this process.
