Four preset buttons are provided so that you can program requently used sounds along with a

3. Auxiliary Jack Function
The Scorpion X1A is equipped with an auxiliary jack labeled “AUX”. The purpose o this jack is to
allow or the connection o certain external devices, such as the FOXPRO® Black Jack or Jack-
Attack decoy and to be able to turn these on and o with the TX200 transmitter. However,
there are some strict electrical limits involved with this jack. I these limits are exceeded,
damage to your Scorpion X1A will result. This damage is not covered by the warranty.
The electrically inclined will want to know that the jack is connected to the drain o an internal
Field E ect Transistor with a maximum current rating o 100mA. The “tip” polarity o the 3.5mm
jack is positive, while the sleeve is negative. I the external device is connected with the polarity
10
reversed, an internal protection diode within the FET will conduct, causing the device to stay on
constantly. The maximum voltage applied to this jack must never exceed 15 volts. Typical uses
or this jack would be to control the FOXPRO Black Jack or Jack-Attack Decoy, or to start and
stop a video recorder. Instructions on connecting various devices to the “AUX” jack are beyond
the scope o this manual. You are urged to seek help rom a knowledgeable pro essional be ore
connecting any unapproved device to this jack. Remember that damage to your Scorpion X1A
caused by improper use o the “AUX” jack is not covered by the warranty, nor will FOXPRO be
liable or damage to any device connected to this jack.

to two additional speakers. The internal Mylar cone speaker per orms admirably; however, you
may encounter situations that require higher sound levels. By connecting a larger external
speaker(s) to the Scorpion X1A, the volume level can be increased signi icantly. The external
speaker jacks on your Scorpion X1A accept a standard 3.5mm plug. When choosing an external
speaker it is recommended to use one with an impedance rating o 8Ω.
4-1Connecting an External Speaker
Make sure that the Scorpion X1A is turned o be ore connecting an external speaker. Plug the
connector o the external speaker into one o the two external speaker jacks (see image below).
Connecting an external speaker to the Scorpion X1A does not automatically disconnect the
internal speaker. You may want to let it play, although battery li e will be better i you disable
the internal speaker. I you wish to have only the external speaker(s) produce sound, per orm
