4. Rotate the TUNE Control from left to right, from 0 to 0, to refine the signal strength
and get the clearest tone. Collar frequency numbers ending in 5 will come in best at
center channel or 0; collar numbers ending in 3 will come in best near -5; collars ending
in 8 will come in best near +5. To fine tune for best range, play with the TUNE Control
until you locate the place on the dial where each collar performs best.
5. Adjust GAIN Control or volume. Turn up the volume at first to bring in the transmitter
signal. After you hear the signal, turn GAIN as LOW as possible (the beeping signal
may sound best when it is a high chirp, or a faucet drip or a dull thump, depending on
your hearing ability). When your directional antenna is pointed toward the transmitter
wearer, your GAIN is LOW but you can still hear the signal, and the meter needle stays
below 6 on the meter, you will get the best signal direction.
6. If signal is too strong and swamping occurs, push ATTenuator switch to ON position.
This attenuator allows accurate direction finding when the operator with receiver is close
to the transmitter wearer. The attenuator prevents receiver overload. TURN OFF when
tracking your animal at a distance of a half-mile or farther. Receiver usage without
attenuator will give maximum signal range.
7. As you move closer to the transmittered animal, adjust the GAIN lower again to get
the best direction and avoid swamping.
8. We ship receivers with a full charge, which lasts about 6 hours of tracking. Before
charging, place power switch on OFF. A fully discharged TRX-64S should be charged
at least 16 hours but no more than 24 hours. After receiver is fully charged, charge
4 hours for each hour of operation (up to 24 hours).
9. Vary your 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
recharging pattern to get the most out of a battery. For instance, if you charge for 4
hours one time, use your equipment until a charge of 8-10 hours or 12-14 hours or 16-
20 hours is required the next time.
10. During storage periods, turn receiver on every 3-4 months, run for 2-3 hours, then
recharge for 12-16 hours.
• RECEIVER BIRDIES -- Internally generated signals are located on a few channels. These
birdies make these channels undesirable to use. Our sales consultants can tell you which
frequencies to avoid. Since the birdies affect only 3 to 5 channels on any receiver, ability to
track large numbers of collars with the TRX-64S Receiver is affected very little.
• WARRANTY -- Parts and labor on the receiver's ELECTRONICS are guaranteed for five
years from our shipping date. Failures caused by customer's abuse or neglect are not
covered. Any attempt to repair or modify receiver by customer or local shop person can void
warranty.
• The receiver is NOT WATERPROOF, and not guaranteed to be so. During rain, snow & fog,
place the receiver inside a plastic bag or operate from inside a vehicle with the aid of
the included cigarette lighter plug-in cord.
