1-5 CROSSFIRE Remote: Power Requirements
The CROSSFIRE remote operates on 3 ‘AA’ batteries. It is recommended that you use high
quality lithium or alkaline batteries or the best per ormance.
Installing Batteries in the CROSSFIRE Remote
1. Access the battery compartment by removing the door rom the back o the remote.
The door slides down and o o the remote.
2. Place the batteries into each battery cavity while observing polarity as indicated.
3. Slide the battery compartment door back on the remote.
2. Quick Start uide
We realize that some o you may wish to jump directly into basic operations without reading
the entire manual. This is a very brie overview that describes how to play sounds manually and

9
remotely. It is strongly recommended to read the entire manual to ully understand all o the
capabilities o the system.
2-1 Playing Sounds Manually
Be ore continuing through these steps, make sure that you have resh batteries installed in the
CROSSFIRE.
1. Make sure that at least one o your speaker selector switches is moved to the “On”
position.
2. Turn on the CROSSFIRE by rotating the volume/power knob clockwise—you should
hear a click. Please keep in mind that this knob is also the volume control when
operating the device manually. The urther you turn the knob clockwise, the louder it
will play. As you turn on the CROSSFIRE, the LCD panel will brie ly display two
numbers representing the channel o operation, the irmware version, and then three
horizontal lines.
3. Press the up or down arrow button on the CROSSFIRE to cycle through the sound
numbers. The display goes rom 000 to 499. From the actory, the device will have 100
sounds installed in positions 000 – 099. Once you have selected a sound number,
release the button and the sound should begin playing immediately. You will need to
adjust the volume level with the volume/power knob.
4. To pick a di erent sound use the sound up or down arrow buttons.
5. To stop playback, turn the CROSSFIRE o .
2-2 Playing Sounds Remotely
The most popular method o operation is with the CROSSFIRE remote control. This section
discusses basic remote control operations. Be ore continuing, make sure that the CROSSFIRE
and the remote both have resh batteries installed.
1. Turn on the CROSSFIRE.
2. Turn on the CROSSFIRE remote by pressing down and holding the rotary selector knob
or about 1-2 seconds. Watch the screen closely; it will display some in ormation
including version details. A ter it is ully powered up, you will see the sound list.
3. The irst page shows the irst 6 sounds rom 000 – 005. Sound 000 will be highlighted
by a black bar. By turning the selector knob le t or right, the highlight bar moves up
and down the screen.
4. When you highlight a sound that you wish to play, push down on the selector knob a
single time. This causes the remote control to send a signal to the CROSSFIRE,
instructing it to play that sound.
5. Adjust your volume level using the volume up arrow button. You can make individual
pushes or you can quickly ramp the volume up by pushing and holding the volume up
button. To lower the volume, use the volume down button.

10
6. To change to a di erent sound, use the selector knob to highlight a di erent sound,
and then push down on the selector knob to tell the CROSSFIRE to play it.
7. To stop the sound, push the mute button. Notice that a letter “M” appears in mute-
status indicator on the remote control screen. The mute button pauses the sound at
its current position. While muted, you can switch to a di erent sound and adjust the
volume level. To start playing again, push the mute button.
8. You can also use the numeric keypad to type in the number o a sound you wish to
play. For example, i sound 023 is “Gray Fox Distress”, instead o scrolling to that
sound, simply type in 0-2-3 on the keypad and it will immediately begin playback o
that sound.
9. When you are inished, use the mute button to stop the sound. Turn o the
CROSSFIRE remote and then turn o the CROSSFIRE.
3. About the CROSSFIRE Speakers
The CROSSFIRE incorporates two di erent types o loudspeakers. The ront speaker is a high
e iciency horn with maximum sensitivity in the requency range necessary to reproduce small
animal distress sounds. Distress sounds o rabbits, small rodents, birds, canines, and many
others are best reproduced by using the ront horn only with the rear cone speaker turned o .
This will also ensure maximum battery li e as playing both speakers requires almost twice as
much battery power.
The rear cone speaker is best suited to sounds that have signi icant lower requency 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 e icient as the ront horn.
Because o this, it will not play as loud as the horn. Understand that not all calling sounds will
bene it greatly rom playing both speakers at once. I you elect to do this, remember that
battery li e will be reduced.
4. Using External Speakers
The CROSSFIRE is equipped with two External Speaker Jacks which allows you to connect up to
two additional speakers. The internal speakers per orm admirably; however, you may
encounter situations that require higher volume levels. By connecting a larger and more
e icient external speaker(s) to the CROSSFIRE, the volume level can be increased signi icantly.
4-1 Connecting an External Speaker
The external speaker jacks on your CROSSFIRE accept standard 3.5mm plugs. When choosing an
external speaker it is recommended to use one with an impedance rating o 8-ohms.
WARNIN
Make sure that the CROSSFIRE is turned OFF prior to connecting an external speaker!
To connect an external speaker, plug the connector o the external speaker into one o the

11
external speaker jacks. You will notice that each external speaker jack corresponds with one o
the internal speakers. For example, internal ront speaker and ront external speaker are linked
together. I 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.
4-2 Disabling/Enabling the Internal Speaker
Move the speaker slide switch to the “OFF” position or the desired speaker you wish to disable
( ront or back). 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 li e will
be extended longer than having all o the speakers operating at once.
5. Batteries and Charging
The CROSSFIRE operates on 8 ‘AA’ batteries. For optimal per ormance and run times, we
recommend using high capacity (2000 mAh or higher) NiMH (nickel metal hydride) rechargeable
batteries rather than alkaline types. When you operate the CROSSFIRE 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 o these batteries can be very short. The Zinc Carbon so-called
“Heavy Duty” cells are expressly not recommended.
Your FOXPRO® unit incorporates circuitry to terminate charge current i high battery
temperatures are detected. Battery temperatures increase at the end o the charge cycle. I
the temperature edges towards a dangerous level, the charge current will be interrupted and
the green LED will extinguish. I excessive temperature is not detected, the green LED will not
be extinguished. It is quite possible or the batteries to be ully 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 ully
charged. The batteries are ully charged any time their temperature rises substantially above
ambient. How long this takes depends on how much charge has been taken rom the batteries
and how much time has passed since the last charge. I the green LED goes out, the batteries
are de initely charged. I the green LED is on and the batteries are cool, they are still charging.
I the green LED is on and the batteries are very warm, they are ully charged and you should
terminate the charge by unplugging the charger.
You should not permit the charge to continue for more than 10 hours under any
circumstances. The batteries need to be recharged when the “Low Battery” LED is blinking.
Battery run time is directly related to how loud you operate the CROSSFIRE. Using both
speakers at the same time rather than only the most appropriate one will have a negative
impact on run time. With one speaker playing, expect 6 to 15 hours o 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.

12
All FOXPRO rechargeable battery kits are shipped with individual instruction sets that pertain to
their unique operations. The ollowing list o cautions and warnings should be observed with
any rechargeable system you decide to use.
WARNIN
Do not mix battery types! For example: never use NiMH rechargeable batteries in
conjunction with non-rechargeable alkaline batteries.
WARNIN
Never connect your CROSSFIRE to an unregulated 12V system (i.e. automotive
systems, high current power supplies, etc.) Serious damage will occur which is not
covered by the warranty. The charge jack is intended only or FOXPRO® chargers.
WARNIN
Never attach an unapproved or a non-FOXPRO® charger to your CROSSFIRE!
Damages caused by plugging unapproved charging devices into your CROSSFIRE will
not be covered by warranty.
ENERAL PRECAUTIONS FOR CHAR IN
•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
e iciency, we recommend charging your CROSSFIRE in temperatures ranging
rom 40°F to 85°F (5°C to 30°C).
•Disconnect any/all accessory devices that may be attached to the CROSSFIRE
prior to charging. This includes external speakers, auxiliary devices, and USB
cables.
•Make sure that the rechargeable battery pack is installed in the CROSSFIRE
properly.
•Connect the approved FOXPRO charger to the charger jack on the
CROSSFIRE and attach the trans ormer to the appropriate outlet.
•Remember that NiMH batteries sel -discharge about 1% per day.
•Do not leave charging batteries unattended.
•Remove batteries rom battery holder when caller will not be used or
prolonged periods to help prevent deep discharge.
•Recharge your batteries periodically—even when not in use—to prevent
deep discharge.

6. Using External Power Sources
The design o the CROSSFIRE permits the use o certain external power sources, so long as some
precautions are observed. The 8-cell internal battery pack will serve about 98 percent o the
users about 98 percent o the time. This makes or a caller that is compact and lightweight,
highly portable, and has very good battery li e. However, we recognized that there may be
times when extended run-times and additional loudness are more important than lightweight
and absolute portability. You can have the best o both worlds with the CROSSFIRE!
By connecting a large external 12-volt battery to the external power adapter replacement door
(sold separately at FOXPRO), you can operate the CROSSFIRE and obtain run-times measured in
days rather than hours. A NiMH battery pack supplies 9.6 volts to the power ampli ier, while an
external battery can supply up to 14 volts. This additional voltage will o er 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 rom the ampli ier, there is also a
much greater chance o causing damage to the built-in speakers. For this reason, we
recommend using one o our large external speakers, such as the SP-60, i you really need to,
say, call crows rom the next county. Not only are these speakers more e icient, they will have
no problem dealing with the extra power.
NOTE: I you must use extreme volume without the external speaker, use only the ront horn.
The rear cone speaker is somewhat more delicate than the ront horn. Please be care ul with
the volume control, and remember these cautions when using an external battery:
•
••
•NEVER connect an external battery to the charge jack.
•
••
•NEVER connect a battery or power supply capable o delivering more than 15 volts to
the charge jack.
•
••
•NEVER charge the external battery while it is connected to the CROSSFIRE.
•
••
•ALWAYS use a 5 amp (max) use in the positive battery lead.
•
••
•ALWAYS act responsibly with the volume control to prevent speaker damage.
•
••
•For maximum possible loudness, use one o our optional external speakers, such as
the SP-60.
7. Auxiliary Devices
The CROSSFIRE is equipped with an auxiliary jack labeled “AUX”. The purpose o this jack is to
allow or the connection o certain external devices, such as the FOXPRO® Jack-Attack or
FOXJACK Decoy and to be able to turn these on and o with the TX505 remote control
transmitter. However, there are some strict electrical limits involved with this jack. I these
limits are exceeded, damage to your CROSSFIRE will result. This damage is not covered by the
warranty.

14
The electrically inclined will want to know that the jack is connected to the drain o an internal
Field E ect Transistor with a maximum current rating o 100mA. The “tip” polarity o the 3.5mm
jack is positive, while the sleeve is negative. I 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
or this jack would be to control the FOXPRO® Jack-Attack or FOXJACK Decoy, or to start and
stop a video recorder. Instructions on connecting various devices to the “AUX” jack are beyond
the scope o this manual. You are urged to seek help rom a knowledgeable pro essional be ore
connecting any unapproved device to this jack. Remember that damage to your CROSSFIRE
caused by improper use o the “AUX” jack is not covered by the warranty, nor will FOXPRO® be
liable or damage to any device connected to this jack.
7-1 Integrated Decoy Wiring Harness
The Cross ire eatures an integrated decoy wiring harness (see image below) or connecting the
Fox Jack 4 decoy. Unlike other decoys o ered by FOXPRO (i.e. Black Jack Decoy, Jack Attack
Decoy) that require their own power supply and wired connection to the AUX jack, the Fox Jack
4 Decoy mounts directly to the back o the Cross ire and inter aces to the wiring harness or
power and triggering o the decoy motion. Please note that this wiring harness is designed to be
used only with the Fox Jack 4 decoy. When you irst remove the battery compartment door
rom the Cross ire, you can ind the wiring harness taped to the upper right side o the battery
compartment.
