1.4 OPERATING THE PRAIRIE BLASTER BY TX-505 REMOTE CONTROL
1. Turn on the TX-505 transmitter by pressing down and holding the
sound selector knob for about 4 seconds. The screen will display
“FOXPRO the caller of the wild” then show the remote version number
on the button line of the display. If you bump the button or do not hold it
for 4 seconds, the screen will briefly display “FOXPRO the caller of the
wild” then turn back off.
2. Select the sound you wish to play by turning the rotary selector knob
on the top of the transmitter either clockwise, which will scroll up, or
counter-clockwise which scrolls down.
3. When the sound desired appears in the displayed list, highlight the
sound, and press down on the rotary selector knob. You will notice
that the number associated with that sound will appear in the bottom
text line. This text line also displays the current channel setting, a mute
indicator, volume level indicator, battery monitor, and timer. The top
text line displays the front speaker, rear speaker, auto volume (AV) and
a play mode indicator. For more information on the text lines, see the
TX-505 features section of this instruction manual.
4. Now that you have selected the sound to be played, simply bring the
volume up to your desired level by depressing the volume up arrow.
As you depress the volume up arrow, NOTE that the volume setting
number in the bottom text increases.
Muting the Sound
To mute the sound, simply press the mute button. The letter “M” will appear in
the bottom text line. The mute also serves as a pause feature, meaning that
when you un-mute the sound again, it will start playing where you muted the
sound instead of starting over again.
Changing the Sound
To change the sound, simply highlight your next sound preference and depress
the rotary selector knob. Your sound will instantly change.
You can also use the numeric keypad to enter the three digit number of the
sound you wish to play. When you begin entering a number on the keypad, the
numbers you type will appear in large text on the screen. You need to enter the
three digit number of the sound you wish to play. For example, type in a
number in the range of 000 through 499 to play the corresponding sound.
NOTE: Make sure that you do not enter a number that is larger than the total number of
sounds programmed in the Prairie Blaster. For example, if you have 100 sounds and
type in 234, nothing will happen.
