We realize that some o you may wish to jump directly into basic operations without reading

9
remotely. It is strongly recommended to read the entire manual to ully understand all o the
capabilities o the system.
2-1 Playing Sounds Manually
Be ore continuing through these steps, make sure that you have resh batteries installed in the
CROSSFIRE.
1. Make sure that at least one o your speaker selector switches is moved to the “On”
position.
2. Turn on the CROSSFIRE by rotating the volume/power knob clockwise—you should
hear a click. Please keep in mind that this knob is also the volume control when
operating the device manually. The urther you turn the knob clockwise, the louder it
will play. As you turn on the CROSSFIRE, the LCD panel will brie ly display two
numbers representing the channel o operation, the irmware version, and then three
horizontal lines.
3. Press the up or down arrow button on the CROSSFIRE to cycle through the sound
numbers. The display goes rom 000 to 499. From the actory, the device will have 100
sounds installed in positions 000 – 099. Once you have selected a sound number,
release the button and the sound should begin playing immediately. You will need to
adjust the volume level with the volume/power knob.
4. To pick a di erent sound use the sound up or down arrow buttons.
5. To stop playback, turn the CROSSFIRE o .
2-2 Playing Sounds Remotely
The most popular method o operation is with the CROSSFIRE remote control. This section
discusses basic remote control operations. Be ore continuing, make sure that the CROSSFIRE

2. Turn on the CROSSFIRE remote by pressing down and holding the rotary selector knob
or about 1-2 seconds. Watch the screen closely; it will display some in ormation
including version details. A ter it is ully powered up, you will see the sound list.
3. The irst page shows the irst 6 sounds rom 000 – 005. Sound 000 will be highlighted
by a black bar. By turning the selector knob le t or right, the highlight bar moves up
and down the screen.
4. When you highlight a sound that you wish to play, push down on the selector knob a
single time. This causes the remote control to send a signal to the CROSSFIRE,
instructing it to play that sound.
5. Adjust your volume level using the volume up arrow button. You can make individual
pushes or you can quickly ramp the volume up by pushing and holding the volume up
button. To lower the volume, use the volume down button.

6. To change to a di erent sound, use the selector knob to highlight a di erent sound,
and then push down on the selector knob to tell the CROSSFIRE to play it.
7. To stop the sound, push the mute button. Notice that a letter “M” appears in mute-
status indicator on the remote control screen. The mute button pauses the sound at
its current position. While muted, you can switch to a di erent sound and adjust the
volume level. To start playing again, push the mute button.
8. You can also use the numeric keypad to type in the number o a sound you wish to
play. For example, i sound 023 is “Gray Fox Distress”, instead o scrolling to that
sound, simply type in 0-2-3 on the keypad and it will immediately begin playback o
that sound.
9. When you are inished, use the mute button to stop the sound. Turn o the
CROSSFIRE remote and then turn o the CROSSFIRE.
3. About the CROSSFIRE Speakers
The CROSSFIRE incorporates two di erent types o loudspeakers. The ront speaker is a high
e iciency horn with maximum sensitivity in the requency range necessary to reproduce small
animal distress sounds. Distress sounds o rabbits, small rodents, birds, canines, and many
others are best reproduced by using the ront horn only with the rear cone speaker turned o .
This will also ensure maximum battery li e as playing both speakers requires almost twice as
much battery power.
The rear cone speaker is best suited to sounds that have signi icant lower requency content.
These sounds would include bear growls, mountain lion roars, certain owl hoots, and some
other large mammal sounds. The rear speaker, however, is not as e icient as the ront horn.
Because o this, it will not play as loud as the horn. Understand that not all calling sounds will
bene it greatly rom playing both speakers at once. I you elect to do this, remember that
battery li e will be reduced.
4. Using External Speakers
The CROSSFIRE is equipped with two External Speaker Jacks which allows you to connect up to
two additional speakers. The internal speakers per orm admirably; however, you may
encounter situations that require higher volume levels. By connecting a larger and more
e icient external speaker(s) to the CROSSFIRE, the volume level can be increased signi icantly.
4-1 Connecting an External Speaker
The external speaker jacks on your CROSSFIRE accept standard 3.5mm plugs. When choosing an
external speaker it is recommended to use one with an impedance rating o 8-ohms.
WARNIN
Make sure that the CROSSFIRE is turned OFF prior to connecting an external speaker!
To connect an external speaker, plug the connector o the external speaker into one o the
