Overview

The Fox Micron MX Receiver is a digital radio receiver designed to work with Fox Micron bite alarms, providing anglers with remote notification of bites. It features a weatherproof sealed case and digital circuitry for reliable performance in various conditions.

Function Description

The primary function of the MX Receiver is to receive signals from paired Fox Micron bite alarms, indicating a bite event. When a bite alarm is triggered, the receiver provides visual and audible alerts. It includes a multicolour LED system that cycles through colours briefly upon activation and can display specific colours for different alarms. The unit also features an I-Com® system for enhanced communication.

Important Technical Specifications

  • Power Source: 3 x LR6 AA 1.5V Alkaline batteries.
  • Operating Frequency: 433.92MHz.
  • ERP (Effective Radiated Power): -8 dBm max.
  • Rating: 4.5V.
  • Compliance: Directive 2014/53/EU (CEI190 type radio equipment).
  • Patents: EP1059029.

Usage Features

Activation and Volume Control: To activate the unit, rotate the Power and Volume Control dial clockwise until a click is heard. The LEDs will cycle colours briefly. Rotating the dial further clockwise increases the speaker volume. To deactivate, rotate the dial fully counter-clockwise to the 'OFF' position.

Registration Mode: Before initial use, bite alarms must be registered with the receiver.

  1. Switch the MX Receiver "ON."
  2. Press the Micron Registration Button on the back of the receiver with a small pointed object until the leftmost LED flashes. Release the button.
  3. Switch on each Micron bite alarm in the desired order of appearance on the receiver.
  4. Press the registration button again or switch the unit off to complete the process. The registration process can be repeated to change the order of Microns or add new ones. It's important to note that the registration process can be disrupted by other radio signals, such as wireless routers, if attempted in close proximity.

Best Performance Guidelines: To maximize operating range and reliability:

  • Keep the MX Receiver as high above ground as possible; if worn on the body, it should be on the outside of clothing.
  • Maintain a direct "line-of-sight" between the receiver and transmitters, avoiding obstructions like trees or buildings, which can cause signal loss or "dead spots."
  • Avoid keeping the MX Receiver in the same pocket as a mobile phone or other electronic devices.
  • Ensure both the receiver and alarms have good batteries. These guidelines become less critical at closer working ranges. The system is designed for long operating range to maximize reliability at close range, not to encourage unattended rods.

Low Battery Warning: When the MX Receiver's batteries are low, the LEDs will flash cyan (blue-green) periodically. Batteries should be replaced promptly. The receiver will also indicate low battery warnings for paired MX Alarms by changing the corresponding Micron LED colour to cyan (blue-green).

Safety Warnings:

  • Do not trigger the LED or speaker in close proximity to human or animal eyes and ears.
  • Store the equipment out of reach of children and infants.
  • Avoid dropping or subjecting the Micron to severe impacts.

Maintenance Features

Battery Installation and Replacement:

  1. Turn off the unit before fitting or replacing batteries.
  2. Unscrew the two battery cover screws using a cross-head screwdriver.
  3. Lift the battery cover from the bottom corners to remove it.
  4. Carefully remove old batteries. Insert new LR6 AA 1.5V Alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
  5. For best weatherproofing, ensure the battery cover has a good seal by firmly pushing its lip into the top edge of the case and pivoting it into position.
  6. Re-fit the cover and screws.
  • Caution: Do not overtighten battery compartment screws, as excessive force can damage the screw threads.
  • Battery Recommendations: Use good quality alkaline batteries for maximum battery life. Do not mix old and new batteries, do not mix different battery types, and rechargeable batteries are not recommended. Remove batteries during long periods of non-use to reduce the risk of leakage.

Drying Out After Heavy Rain: The MX Receiver is designed to be weatherproof. However, if exposed to heavy rain, it is important to allow the unit to dry out properly by bringing it indoors and allowing it to dry fully.

  • Caution: Never place batteries in a hot environment (e.g., on a radiator).

Warranty & Product Registration: Users can register a warranty for this product online at the Fox website. This requires creating an account, providing the product code, date, and place of purchase. After registration, a Customer Reference code will be provided for viewing warranty details.
