TRX –1000S RECEIVER UNIQUE INFORMATION
Important precautions:
•Do NOT expose to water, fire or excessive dust. The aluminum box is water
resistant, but the interior is NOT guaranteed waterproof. In rain, snow, fog, etc.,
please cover the receiver, place inside a plastic bag or use it only inside a vehicle.
Water inside the receiver will void the warranty.
•Before the DC external power cord is used, turn the receiver off. Always insert the
cord’s plug in to the receiver’s DC external power jack before plugging the cigarette
lighter cord into a vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure can cause the fuse in the
cigarette lighter power plug to blow.
•Do not charge batteries for more than 24 hours.
Operation: Please see the “Operation & Tips For Your Radio Recovery Equipment”
sheet for general operating instructions.
Unique Instructions:
1. Turn the POWER SWITCH to INT for internal battery usage, or to EXT for
external power source. If the DC external power cord will be used, insert the cord’s
plug in to the receiver’s DC external power jack before plugging the cord’s cigarette
lighter end into a vehicle.
2. Preset the GAIN control to “12 o’clock” position.
3. Preset the AE Tune to 0 position.
4. Dial the desired frequency of a transmitter on the 3 FREQUENCY SWITCHES.
Push the small buttons marked with “+” or “-“ until numbers represent the last 3
digits in the transmitter frequency. Example- A transmitter marked 217.650 would
require the switch number to register 650.
5. Attach antenna cable to ANTENNA JACK by pushing the cable’s connector plug
down and twisting clockwise to the right until it clicks into place.
6. Activate transmitter now. You should hear a beeping signal through the receiver’s
speaker.
7. AE Tune can now be adjusted to give the most pleasant tone.
8. Advance the GAIN control slowly in a clockwise motion only as far as necessary to
receive a clear signal. Keep the GAIN as low as possible while locating.
9. If the signal sounds loud or distorted, turn the GAIN control counterclockwise until
the signal is clear and acceptable in volume.
10. If the AE Tune control cannot bring in the signal clearly and with a pleasant pitch,
the last FREQUENCY SWITCH on the right can be moved up or down 1–2 digits

to bring the tuning within the range of the AE Tune control. If the right switch is
already at an extreme, (0 or 9,) the middle digit can be readjusted up or down one
number. Example- if a user dialed 139 on the receiver, turned the AE Tune control
all the way toward “+” or to the right, and found that the tone from the speaker was
still not quite acceptable, he/she could dial 140 or 141 and readjust the AE Tune
control back towards 0 again. Or, if a user dialed 100 on the receiver and the AE
Tune control was turned all the way toward “-“(left,) and the tone from the speaker
was still not quite acceptable, he/she could dial 098 or 099, then readjust the tone
from the speaker was still not quite acceptable, he/she could dial control back
toward 0.
11. To use the SIGNAL METER, place the SIG/BAT toggle switch in the SIG position.
The meter needle will move to match the transmitter’s beeping signal and show the
signal strength. If the meter needle moves too far to the right , turn the GAIN
control to the left. If no signal meter indication is seen, advance the GAIN to the
right.
12. To determine strength of the receiver battery, place the SIG/BAT toggle switch in
the BAT position. A charged battery will register 6 or more on the meter. If the
meter falls below 6, the receiver battery needs recharging. Se recharge directions in
16 below.
13. For night use, the ML/LED toggle switch can select either the meter light or a
flashing LED circuit. Both the signal beter and the LED can be adjusted by using
the GAIN control to compensate for weaker of stronger transmitter signals. Note-
during daylight hours, keep the ML/LED switch in the “center-off” position to
conserve the battery.
14. If using the ATTENUATOR toggle switch to counter “swamping,” be sure to turn
off the attenuator after the transmitter collar moves back to a greater distance.
Otherwise, you may receive no signal at all.
15. To use headphones, turn the GAIN control all the way to the left, plug in
headphones, and adjust GAIN for comfortable volume level.
16. If the DC external power cord will be used, insert the cord’s plug in to the receiver’s
DC external power jack before plugging the cord’s cigarette lighter end into a
vehicle. Then move the INT/EXT power switch to EXT to use the external power.
17. The receiver’s nickel cadmium batteries give 5 – 6 hours of tracking between
charges. Before charging, place POWER switch to off. To charge the receiver,
insert the AC Charger Cord plug into the AC Charger Jack. Then plug the other end
of the AC Charger Cord onto a 110-120 VAC, 60 hertz power source (house
current.) After your receiver is fully charged, it should be charged 4 hours for every
one hour of operation. Do not charge batteries for more than 24 hours.

Long-Term use:
•The receiver’s nickel cadmium batteries give 5 –6 hours of tracking between
charges. Before charging, place POWER switch to off. To charge the receiver,
insert the AC Charger Cord plug into the AC Charger Jack. Then plug the other end
of the AC Charger Cord onto a 110-120 VAC, 60 hertz power source (house
current.) After your receiver is fully charged, it should be charged 4 hours for every
one hour of operation. Do not charge batteries for more than 24 hours.
•Vary recharge times to avoid a “memory buildup.” If you recharge 4 hours each
time, the battery will gradually become good for only 4 hours of life. Avoid a
recharge pattern to the most out of your battery. For instance, if you charge for 4
hours one time, use your unit until a charge of 8 or 12 etc. hours is required next.
•Store in a cool dry place. During storage periods the receiver should be turned on
every 3-4 months and allowed to run for 2-3 hours. Then recharge 12-16 hours
before putting the receiver back on the shelf.
•While under warranty we will change your battery pack if necessary at our facility.
We will replace, charge it, retune and recalibrate to ensure quality performance.
•After the warranty expires, a battery pack can be changed at home, or you may send
it to us. Call us for instructions or a repair estimate.
Velcro to hold receiver in case:
•With the receiver case, you’ll find 2 strips of unattached Velcro that have plastic
backing.
•Look inside the case and at the bottom you will see 2 permanently attached Velcro
strips at the bottom, back-center.
•To protect your receiver, anchor the receiver to the case using the Velcro strips.
oTurn the receiver over. Peel the plastic backing off of one loose strip. Place
the strip at bottom-center of box. Rub to seal.
oTurn the receiver so the back faces you. Peel the plastic backing off the
other loose Velcro strip. Place the strip at the back-center of the receiver.
Rub to seal.
•Fit the receiver in the case. The Velcro on the receiver and on the case will bond
together. This will ensure that your receiver does not fall out during use.
