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.

FOXPRO
®
Programming Utility
NOTE: The icon on your desktop is only an .exe file used to install
the programming utility to your computer. 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
