greater NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable batteries rather than
alkaline types. You can find a compatible charging system for your
Firestorm online at: http://www.gofoxpro.com
When you ask the Firestorm to play at extremely loud volume levels,
the current demand on the batteries is much more than alkaline cells
can deliver. Consequently, the run time of these batteries can be very
short. The Zinc Carbon so-called “Heavy Duty” cells are expressly not
recommended. The performance of your Firestorm will be much better
with high-capacity NiMH batteries.
On the front of your Firestorm, locate the green LED. This is your low
power indicator. When this light begins to blink during operation, it is
alerting you that the batteries need replaced or recharged. If the
batteries drop too low to power the Firestorm, it will shut itself off.
Battery run time is directly related to how loud you operate the
Firestorm. Using both speakers at the same time rather than only the
most appropriate one will have a negative impact on run time. With
one speaker playing, expect run times of 6 – 15 hours. With both
speakers playing, expect 3 – 10 hours. Remember that very loud
volumes are rarely needed, as animals hear much better than we do.
Warnings, Precautions, and Notes for Charging:
• Never connect your Firestorm to an unregulated 12V system
(i.e., automotive systems, high current power supplies, etc.)
Serious damage will occur which is not covered by the warranty.
The charge jack is intended only for FOXPRO

chargers.
• Do not mix battery types! For example: never use NiMH
rechargeable batteries in conjunction with non-rechargeable
alkaline batteries.
• Never attempt to charge batteries that are not intended to be
recharged! This includes both Zinc Carbon and alkaline cells.
