FOXPRO Systems 609 W. 4th Street Lewistown, PA 17044 Phone (717) 248-2507 FAX (717) 247-3594 www.gofoxpro.com TX-5LR Remote Control Instructions A local – remote switch is installed on the main unit opposite the charge jack. To select remote control operation, slide the switch to the up position. The transmitter is housed in a rugged plastic case, and is powered by a standard 9-volt battery. The keypad has buttons for selecting the sound to be played, controlling the volume, muting the sound, and controlling an auxiliary device such as a decoy. The sound number is displayed on a large backlighted liquid crystal display. This, coupled with glow-in-the-dark keys, allows for easy operation even in total darkness. The transmitter will auto-off after about 5 seconds in order to conserve battery power. OPERATION Place the slide switch on the main unit to the “up” position. Turn on the caller and set the volume control to allow for the loudest sound desired. If you set this control to half way, the maximum volume in remote mode will be half volume. If you set this control to maximum, you will be able to adjust the volume all the way up. As you can see, the volume control sets a maximum sound level while in remote mode. Because the main unit enters the remote mode with the sound muted, no sound will be heard. Next, select the sound you want to play by adjusting the number shown in the display with the “Sound Up” and “Sound Down” buttons. Compare the number to the sound list on the back of the transmitter. Once you have the proper number in the display, push the “Send” button. This will store the number in memory. Note that you must push “Send” before the transmitter times out and shuts off. If this doesn’t happen, the transmitter will resort to the last number stored with the “Send” button. Note that this button not only stores the sound number…it also sends it to the main unit. However, sound is not heard because the main unit is still in “Mute” mode. To make the selected sound play, push the “Mute” button for about a half-second. This will latch the unit in a mute disabled mode, and allow the sound to play. You may now adjust the volume by pressing the volume up or down buttons. Note that it can take as much as 10 seconds to adjust the volume from one extreme to the other. To play a different sound, select the appropriate sound number on the display, then push the “Send” button. To mute the sound, push the mute button again. The “Aux” button is used to control certain accessories sold or approved by FOXPRO. Do not connect any device not approved by FOXPRO to the Aux connector on the main unit. Page 1 (over)
HINTS and TIPS Remember that once you have your sound number in the TX-5LR display, you must press the “Send” key to store that number. You must do this before the unit times out and shuts off. The volume up and down buttons are active in mute mode. You are able to mute a sound while it is playing loudly, then reduce the volume before un-muting the sound. You may also select a different sound while in mute mode by selecting another number in the display, then pressing the “Send” button. When you un-mute the caller, the new sound will play. The “Aux” button controls the jack located on top of the main unit, across from the antenna. Pushing the “Aux” button on the transmitter causes an electronic contact closure to latch on. Pressing this button a second time causes this contact closure to turn off. Never connect an un-approved device to the Aux connector. Damage to your FOXPRO may occur. In order to achieve maximum glow time of the keypad buttons, charge them with light before each use. Brighter light and longer charge times will give longer glow times. For maximum range, use the remote within line of sight. Earth and vegetation attenuate the transmitter signal. Elevating the caller by setting it on a stump or fencepost will extend the range.
