overview to get started. It is strongly recommended that you read the manual completely to
ully understand all o the capabilities o the system.
2-1 Playing Sounds with the TX9 Remote
Prior to attempting to use the Hell ire with the remote, make sure that the Hell ire is turned on.
To turn on the Hell ire, simply move the toggle switch (located on the back o the speaker cap)
to the “on” position (switch up).
IMPORTANT NOTE
The Hell ire remote control is not intended to operate the caller at distances
shorter than 1 meter (3 eet). I the remote is located too close to the caller,
proper operation cannot be ensured.
1. Turn on the TX9 remote by pushing and holding the power/send button or 2-3
seconds. You will see the LCD panel light up and display the sound list.
2. Use the sound up or down arrow button to cycle through the sound list. Observe the
black horizontal selector bar moving up or down in conjunction with your button
presses. When scrolling through the sounds, the visible playlist will change by the
page. The irst page will display sounds 000 – 005, page two displays 006 – 011, etc.
3. A ter highlighting a sound you wish to play, press the power/send button a single
time. This action transmits a radio signal to the Hell ire telling it to begin playback o
the selected sound. Note that the sound number you selected is displayed on the TX9
in the bottom le t side o the screen. The Hell ire provides no visual eedback that the
sound has been received.
4. Raise the volume level by pressing the volume up button. To rapidly ramp up the

will appear displaying, “Release key to turn o transmitter”. As soon as you see this
message, release the button.
2-2 Using Presets (P1 and P2)
The TX9 eatures two presets. Each preset provides you with one button access to your most
requently used sound. The stored number o each preset is shown in the upper right corner o
the top status line (see image below).
The TX9 will display 000 or both P1 and P2 when you irst turn it on. In order to use the preset
buttons, you must irst assign a sound and volume to each.
To assign a preset, perform the following:
1. Press and hold the P1 or P2 button or 5 seconds. Notice the top status line o the TX9
display will change to: “SEL SND/VOL PRESS P1” or “SEL SND/VOL PRESS P2”.

3. Batteries and Charging
The Hell ire operates on 10 ‘AA’ batteries. For optimal per ormance, FOXPRO recommends the
use o high-capacity 2000 mAh or greater NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable batteries
rather than alkaline types. You can ind compatible charging systems available rom FOXPRO on
the FOXPRO website at: http://www.go oxpro.com
When you ask the Hell ire 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. The per ormance o the Hell ire will be much better with high-capacity NiMH
batteries.
On the back o the Hell ire, you will notice the amber LED. This is the pilot lamp, but also serves
as the low battery indicator. When this light begins to blink during operation, it is alerting you
that the batteries need recharged (i using rechargeable batteries) or replaced (i using alkaline
batteries). I the batteries drop too low to power the Hell ire, it will shut itsel o . Battery run
time is going to depend on many actors including how loud you are operating it.
WARNIN
Do not mix battery types! For example: never use NiMH rechargeable batteries in
conjunction with non-rechargeable alkaline batteries.
WARNIN
Never connect your Hellfire 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.
CHAR IN RECOMMENDATIONS
•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.
•Never attach an unapproved or a non-FOXPRO® charger to your Hellfire!
Damages caused by plugging unapproved charging devices into your Hell ire
will not be covered by warranty.
•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.
