“Play/Select” button. To go back to the previous sound, push the
“Recall” button.
2-4 Using Presets/Favorites
The CS-24C remote can store up to 50 unique presets or favorites. A
preset is a shortcut to a particular sound which has a defined volume
level. The CS-24C remote has 4 quick access preset buttons located on
the top left and right (see image on page 8). By default, your CS-24C

13
remote will have no presets established. The following instructions will
describe how to setup a preset:
To Create a Preset/Favorite:
1. From the main screen, select the “Favorites/Presets” menu
item.
2. Select one of the 50 preset slots. Notice that the screen will
indicate “Preset Recording”. The first step is to select the sound.
3. Use the scroll buttons to highlight the sound you want to
establish for this preset and then push the “Play/Select” button.
4. The last step is setting the volume level. Use the volume buttons
to dial-in the desired volume level you wish to assign to this
preset and then push “Play/Select” to lock it in.
5. Your preset is now setup.
You can assign the P1, P2, P3, and P4 buttons in the following manner:
1. Highlight the sound that you wish to have established in one of
the four positions.
2. From the main sounds or category screen, press and hold the
P1, P2, P3, or P4 button for approximately 3-4 seconds.
3. Set the volume level and then push the “Play/Select” button to
lock in that preset.
To initiate playback of presets 1-4, make sure that both the CS-24C and
CS-24C remote are turned on, and then push the corresponding preset
button (P1 – P4) on the top sides of the remote. The CS-24C will then
instantly switch to that sound and volume level. To initiate playback of
any preset, simply select the “Favorites/Presets” menu on the main
screen, browse through the available presets, and then use the
“Play/Select” button, just as if you were picking a sound for normal
playback. Presets can also be managed by editing a specific file located
within the CS-24C remote.

3. CS-24C Detailed Overview
This chapter provides a more detailed oriented overview of the CS-24C.
3-1 External Speaker Jack Information
The CS-24C features an external speaker jack. This jack is a standard
3.5mm female jack that can accept a 3.5mm male plug. When selecting
an external speaker to use with the CS-24C, note that FOXPRO
recommends the use of a 25W speaker with 8Ω Impedance. FOXPRO
carries a variety of external speakers for purchase that can be used with
the CS-24C. You can view the line of speakers online by visiting
www.gofoxpro.com
Connect an external speaker to Your CS-24C:
1. Make sure that the CS-24C is powered-off before connecting an
external speaker.
2. Connect the plug from the external speaker to the external
speaker jack.
3. Turn on the CS-24C and begin playing a sound to hear the
external speaker in action.
3-2 Auxiliary Device Jack
The AUX jack is provided primarily for the control of FOXPRO decoys
and may be suitable for controlling other similar devices. It is NOT
intended for the direct control of motors, flashlights, or other devices
requiring the internal AUX jack circuitry to switch more than 50
milliamps. The jack tip polarity is positive. Do not exceed 15 volts. You
are urged to seek help from a knowledgeable professional before
connecting any unapproved device to the jack. Keep in mind that any
damage to the FOXPRO caller because of improper use of the AUX jack
is not covered by the warranty, nor will FOXPRO be liable for damage to
any connected devices.

15
3-3 USB Port
The CS-24C is equipped with a mini-USB 2.0 port which is located inside
of the speaker cap. To gain access to the USB port, you must remove
the three screws that secure the cap to the back of the speaker.
To Connect the CS-24C to a computer
1. Make sure that the CS-24C is turned off.
2. Connect one end of the USB cable to the USB port in the CS-24C.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a USB port on your
computer.
4. On most major operating systems, you will hear an alert as well
as see visual notification on the screen that a new device has
been attached.
3-4 Setting the Channel of Operation
Changing the channel of operation requires that you remove the
speaker cap from the back of the CS24C and modify the values of a DIP
switch located inside. There are 8 channels of operation available (0 –
7). The default channel of operation set at the factory is 6.
Changing the Channel of Operation
1. Locate and remove the 3 screws that connect the speaker cap to
the main speaker bell of the caller.
2. Turn the speaker cap around and look inside. Locate the DIP
switch (see image to the right).

16
3. The DIP switch has 4 individual slide switches. Each switch has
two positions. To change the channel, however, you will only
modify switches 1 – 3. The two positions are referred to as “on”
and “off”. The “on” position is selected by moving the switch to
the left. The “off” position is selected by moving the switch to
the right. Use the tip of a pen or pencil to change the position of
the switches. The following chart shows the possible switch
positions for the various channels.

4 OFF OFF ON
5 ON OFF ON
6 OFF ON ON
7 ON ON ON
4. Remember, if you change the channel of operation of the CS-
24C, you must also change the channel of operation for the
TX1000. See chapter 9, section 1 for more information.
3-5 Setting the Battery Chemistry
For the best results, you must select the appropriate battery chemistry

switch in the “on” position.
4. Reattach the cap to the speaker and secure it with the screws
after selecting the appropriate battery type.
4. CS-24C Remote Control Detailed Overview
This chapter provides a more detailed oriented overview of the CS-24C
remote. The model number for the CS-24C Remote is “TX1000”. In this
manual, we tend to refer to the remote as “CS-24C Remote”, but you
will encounter “TX1000” later as it referenced in specific menu options.
4-1 What are FOX FEATURES?
Throughout this section, you will encounter various features referred to
as “Fox Features”. This group of features includes: FOXBANG, FOXCAST,

thoroughly in this section.
4-2 Turning on the CS-24C Remote
After installing batteries as indicated in Chapter 1, you can turn on the
CS-24C remote by pushing and holding the power button for
approximately 1-2 seconds. An initial startup screen will appear
displaying the FOXPRO logo and remote version information. After the
initial startup sequence is complete, the main sound selections screen
will appear.
4-3 Navigating the CS-24C Remote
The CS-24C Remote has a scroll up and scroll down button for cycling
through the on-screen display. A selected menu item is highlighted by a
horizontal bar, and by pressing the scroll up or down arrow button, the

18
horizontal bar will move up or down through the menu list. To select a
menu item, push the “Play/Select” button. The “Back/Menu” button
allows you to access the CS-24C Remote configuration options as well
as navigate back one level in the menu system.
4-4 Understanding the CS-24C Remote Display
The CS-24C remote control screen can be viewed in three main
segments: top status line, primary display area, and bottom status line.
The top and bottom status lines are static. The primary display area is
dynamic and will change depending upon the operation that you are
performing. The following image shows the top status line of the CS-
24C remote. A description of each element follows the image:
•FM: FOXMOTION status indicator. Displays either On or Off.
•FB: FOXBANG status indicator / FOXGRIP status indicator.
Displays “FB” if FOXBANG is activated. Displays “FG” if FOXGRIP
is activated. Displays “FB/FG” if both FOXBANG and FOXGRIP are
activated.
•MOON: Moon phase indicator. Displays an icon depicting the
current moon phase. Correct moon phase display requires
proper date and time configuration.
•BAROM: Barometer. Displays the barometric pressure in either
inches or millimeters depending upon configuration. When
enough measurements have been taken, an arrow showing
trend (up/down) will appear. When elevation is set correctly,
this value is automatically adjusted.
•TEMP: Thermometer. Displays the current temperature in either
C or F depending upon configuration.

19
The image above shows the primary display area for the CS-24C remote.
Above the menu items you will see “Categories” which is the title of this
screen. When you enter other menu sections, the title will change
accordingly. The two main items on the screen “Favorites/Presets” and
“FoxCast” options are always available on this screen (in both Category
and Sound List mode). Directly beneath “FoxCast” begins the category
listings. If using sound list mode, you will then see “Sound List” as the
third option. The image below shows the bottom status line. Following
the image is a description of each element.
•MT: Mute status indicator. When the sound is muted, a letter M
will appear. When a FOXFUSION sound is active, the M/M
display may appear according to how the MUTE / Pause control

20
has been applied. See the FOXFUSION section for more
information.
•VOL: Volume level indicator. Ranges 0 – 40.
•BATT: Battery level indicator.
•TIME(R): Displays either stand timer or real-time clock. When an
alarm is indicated, the background will blink red.
4-5 Access the CS-24C Remote Configuration Menu
From the main sounds screen, push the “Back/Menu” button a single
time. This will allow you to access the configurations screen. There are a
total of five elements that appear on this menu: FOX FEATURES, Sound
Settings, Display/Power, Date/Time(r), and TX1000 settings. Each of
these items and all possible values are displayed below.
4-6 Playing Sounds with the CS-24C Remote
The first operation that most users want to perform is playing sounds.
There are multiple methods in which you can initiate sound playback.
Before attempting to play sounds, be sure that the CS-24C and CS-24C
remote both have fresh batteries installed and that both devices are
powered-on.
There are two sound view mode options within the CS-24C remote:
Sound List and Categories. This is configured through the TX1000
Settings item in the main menu. The method of playing a sound is
identical for both modes; the way the sounds are displayed on the
screen is the only difference. By default, the CS-24C remote is setup to
display the sounds by categories.
To change how the sounds are displayed, access the TX1000 Settings
menu and locate the menu item titled “View”. Highlight “View” and
then push the “Play/Select” button a single time. Use the scroll buttons
to cycle through either “Sound List” or “Categories”. When you decide
