1-2 XWave: Requirements
The XWave ships from the factory with an 11.1V Lithium-Ion Battery
Pack/Charger Kit. The battery pack will need to be charged fully before
use to get the best performance. Some users may prefer using an
external 12V sealed lead acid battery. When using such a battery, make
sure that you select battery type “NiMH” within the XWave parameter
menu.
To install batteries in the XWave, Access the battery compartment by
removing the door on the back of the XWave. Once the door is
removed, locate the power wire that is inside the battery compartment.
It will have a white, plastic connector on the end. Connect the battery
pack to the power wire and place the battery pack into the XWave.
Reinstall the battery cover. By default, the XWave’s battery chemistry is
preset for the included lithium battery pack. If you are using a different
approved battery source, such as 10 ‘AA’ batteries, you will have to
change the battery chemistry. To accomplish this, follow the following
steps: Turn on the XWave. Access the main menu by pushing and
holding the “Menu/Select” button for approximately 3-4 seconds. Scroll
through the menu options until you locate “Battery Type”. Push the

10
“Menu/Select” button a single time and then use the scroll buttons to
cycle through the available options. Options include Alkaline, Li-Cells, Li-
Pack, and NiMH. Once you have selected the appropriate battery type,
push the “Menu/Select” button to lock it in.
1-3 Charging the XWave
Your XWave game call comes with an 11.1V 5200mAh lithium-ion
battery pack and compatible charger. Once you have the battery
installed, MAKE SURE THE CALLER IS TURNED OFF and any accessories
(decoy, external speaker, USB cable) are disconnected from the unit.
You can now plug your charger into the charge jack on the front of the
caller and connect the other end to a 120V AC wall plug. At the end of
the charger, you will notice a glowing red light. This means the battery
pack is charging. The light will turn green once the battery is fully
charged. It takes roughly 6 hours to charge a fully depleted battery
pack. Note: There are some instances where the red charging light
will slowly blink before turning solid red. This is perfectly normal.
•Never attach an unapproved or a non-FOXPRO® charger to
your XWave!
•Never connect your XWave to an unregulated 12V system (i.e.,
automotive systems, high current power supplies, etc.)
•Do not mix battery types!
•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 efficiency, we recommend charging your
XWave in temperatures ranging from 40°F to 85°F (5°C to 30°C).
•Disconnect any/all accessory devices that may be attached to
the XWave prior to charging. This includes external speakers,
auxiliary devices, and USB cables.

11
•Make sure that the rechargeable battery pack is installed in the
XWave properly.
•Connect the approved FOXPRO charger to the charger jack on
the XWave and attach the transformer to the appropriate
outlet.
•Remember that NiMH batteries self-discharge about 1% per day.
•Do not leave any charging batteries unattended.
•Remove batteries from battery holder when caller will not be
used for prolonged periods to help prevent deep discharge.
•Recharge your batteries periodically—even when not in use—to
prevent deep discharge.

1-5 XWave Remote: Requirements
The XWave remote control operates on 3 ‘AA’ batteries. It is
recommended that you use high quality lithium or alkaline batteries for
the best performance. To install batteries, access the battery
compartment by removing the door from the back of the remote. The
door slides down and off the remote. Place the batteries into each
battery cavity while observing polarity as indicated. Slide the battery
compartment door back on the remote.
2. Quick Start Guide
The XWave user manual is rather lengthy, covering all aspects of the
XWave and remote control. We realize that some of you may wish to
jump directly into basic operations, such as playing sounds manually,
remotely, and using presets. This is a very brief overview, and it is
strongly recommended that you read this manual entirely to fully
understand all the capabilities of the system.
2-1 Playing Sounds Manually
After installing batteries as described in Section 1, turn on the XWave
by rotating the volume/power knob clockwise. The on-board display
will activate and show system information during the power-on cycle.
After it is fully powered, the sound list will be displayed. Use the scroll
buttons on the front of the XWave to scroll through the available sound
list. When you find a sound that you wish to play, simply push the
“Menu/Select” button to initiate playback.
You can then use the volume knob to adjust volume up or down to a
desired level. By pushing the “Menu/Select” button a single time while
a sound is playing, you can mute the sound. A subsequent press will un-
mute. To begin playback of a different sound, simply scroll through the
list, find the sound, and push the “Menu/Select” button.

15
2-2 XWave Remote Setup
Each time you install new batteries in the XWave remote, it is
recommended that you make it a routine to take a moment to set up
the date and time settings. This section will explain these setup
configurations.
To set the clock, Access the Date/Time(r) menu and select “Time.” Use
the scroll buttons to set the current time. Push “Play/Select” to lock it
in. The clock can be displayed in either the standard 12-hour format or
24-hour format (military time).
The bottom status line of the XWave display can show either the
current time or the stand timer. The stand timer will only be displayed if
it is turned on—otherwise, the clock will show the current time. The
XWave remote will keep track of the current date to properly render
moon phases. This needs to be set up when you first start using the
XWave remote. There are three different date formats that you can
choose from depending upon your personal preference.
2-3 Playing Sounds Remotely
The XWave remote control is not intended to operate the caller at
distances shorter than 1 meter (3 feet). If the remote is located too
close to the caller, proper operation cannot be ensured. Make sure that
you have properly installed batteries in both the XWave and XWave
remote as described within Section 1. Turn on the XWave by turning
the volume/power knob clockwise. Turn on the XWave remote by
pushing and holding the power button for approximately 1-2 seconds.
When powered on, the XWave on-board display will show the sound
list. The XWave remote default view will display the available
categories.

16
Using the scroll buttons on the XWave remote, highlight the category
you wish to pick a sound from, and then push the “Play/Select” button.
The sounds assigned to that category will now be displayed. Use the
scroll buttons to highlight a sound that you wish to play, and then push
the “Play/Select” button to begin playback. You then must use the
volume up button to raise the volume level to your desired setting.
To mute the sound, simply push the “Mute” button. Un-muting is
accomplished by pushing the “Mute” button a second time. You can
quickly change to a different sound by highlighting it on the screen and
then pushing the “Play/Select” button. To quickly go back to the
previous sound, you can push the “Recall” button.
2-4 Using Presets/Favorites
The XWave 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 XWave remote has 4 quick access preset buttons. By default,
your XWave remote will have no presets established. The following
instructions will describe how to setup a preset:
To Create a Preset/Favorite: From the main screen, select the
“Favorites/Presets” menu item. Select one of the 50 preset slots. Notice
that the screen will indicate “Preset Recording”. The first step is to
select the sound. Use the scroll buttons to highlight the sound you want
to establish for this preset and then push the “Play/Select” button. 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. Your preset is now setup.
You can assign the P1, P2, P3, and P4 buttons in the following manner:
Highlight the sound that you wish to have established in one of the four
positions. From the main sounds or category screen, press and hold the

17
P1, P2, P3, or P4 button for approximately 3-4 seconds. Set the volume
level and then push the “Play/Select” button to lock in that preset.
To initiate playback of preset 1-4, make sure that both the XWave and
XWave remote are turned on, and then push the corresponding preset
button (P1 – P4) on the top sides of the remote. The XWave will then
instantly switch to that sound and volume level. To initiate playback of
any preset, 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.
3. XWave Manual Operation
The most basic method of operating the XWave digital game call is
manually or without using the XWave remote control. It is
recommended that you begin manual operation before starting to work
with the XWave remote.
3-1 Turning on the Power
After installing batteries as instructed in Section 1, you are ready to turn
on the XWave digital game call. To turn on the XWave, locate the knob
on the upper-left corner of the XWave faceplate (refer to Figure 1-1 on
page 8). Turn this knob clockwise (to the right) until you hear a soft
click. Once fully powered, the screen will show the first three sounds
and the bottom status line.
3-2 Understanding the Screen
The XWave on-board display shows a lot of information. The following
image represents the screen. The main display elements are numbered
and described in the following chart.

18
1. The XWave display is located on the main access panel.
2. The sound list (displays names or names and numbers
depending upon setup) consumes most of the screen.
3. The Sound indicator (lower left side of the screen) displays the
currently selected sound or FOXCAST file.
4. The volume level indicator is located to the right of the sound
indicator.
5. The mute status indicator is located to the right of the volume
level indicator.
6. The battery level indicator is located to the bottom right, to the
right of the mute status indicator.
3-3 Navigating the XWave
The up and down scroll buttons (located to the right of the on-board
display) allow you to step through your sound list and menu options.
The “Menu/Select” button provides triple function operation. It is used
for starting sound playback, muting sound playback, and entering the
XWave menu.

19
3-4 Playing Sounds Manually
Scroll through the sound list using the scroll buttons. The current sound
will be in a larger font than the rest and it will have a horizontal bar
above and below the name. Select the sound you wish to play and then
push the “Menu/Select” button. Notice the volume level indicator on
the screen—as soon as the “Menu/Select” button is pushed; the
selected sound will begin playing at the volume level indicated. Use the
volume knob to increase or decrease the volume level. The displayed
volume level will rise or fall in response to the knob movement. To
pause or mute the sound, push the “Menu/Select” button again. When
muted, the letter “M” will appear to the right of the volume level.
3-5 Moving the Speakers
The XWave speakers are secured to the back of the XWave housing by
rubber straps. You can release the straps from their mounting points to
move the speakers. The speakers can be moved from the side-facing
position to pointing directly forward or any point there in between. This
allows you to direct the sound in a particular direction. When travelling
with the XWave between stands, it is recommended that you connect
the speaker straps back to their mounting points on the back of the
XWave to help prevent them from swinging around.
3-6 Using a Tripod
The XWave features a universal tripod mount located on the bottom of
the device. This mount will work with most tripods using the universal-
type tripod connector. Using a tripod can be helpful in two ways. First,
elevating the caller off the ground can help sound propagation by
lessening the dampening of the emitted sound to the ground. Second,
elevation can be helpful in maximizing the remote range.

20
3-7 Accessing the XWave Parameter Menu
To access the XWave menu, push and hold the “Menu/Select” button
for approximately 3-4 seconds. The menu will then be displayed.
Navigating the menu is done by using the scroll buttons and selecting is
done by pushing the “Menu/Select” button. Optional values are
changed by selecting the menu item, pushing the “Menu/Select” button
a single time, and then using the scroll buttons to cycle through the
available values. Saving a value change is done by pushing the
“Menu/Select” button a single time.
3-8 Parameter Menu: Options & Details
This section will explore all XWave menu items and associated values of
each.
•Exit: Exits the XWave menu.
•Contrast: Adjusts the screen contrast. Values are 1-10.
•Backlight: Adjusts the red backlight between on (always on), off
(always off), and auto (shuts off after about five seconds).
•Volume: Low is for maximizing battery life whereas high will
maximize overall volume while sacrificing maximum battery life.
•Battery Type: Select the correct battery type to reflect what
batteries you are using. Note: If you are using an external
12VDC sealed lead acid battery, be sure to select NiMH as the
battery type for best results.
•Remote Channel: Radio channels 0-15. The XWave remote and
XWave must both be set to the same channel.
•File List: Changes how sound names are displayed. No Numbers
results in the sound names being displayed without their
numerical ID while Numbered prefixes the names with the
number.
