Avoid exposure to all precipitation and moisture. Whether you are
storing your FOXPRO game call or decoy away for the summer or just
having some down time from calling, it is highly recommended that you
thoroughly inspect the unit for any signs of moisture. Moisture (perhaps
from rain, snow, condensation, or other) can potentially enter the unit
or the battery compartment and cause some serious problems. Proper
care should be taken to mitigate the introduction of (or potential for
introduction of) moisture into the machine and make sure that no
moisture is present during storage. Moisture can quickly lead to
corrosion, electrical shorts, and even rust—all of which can possibly
render the unit damaged and out of warranty. This type of damage is
preventable. For example, if you are operating in rainy, wet conditions,
it is recommended that you place the unit inside of a large plastic
freezer storage bag or use a water/weatherproof deployment bag to
keep water from getting to it. When storing the unit for prolonged
periods, be sure that you keep it in a dry location not susceptible to
drawing moisture.
Remove batteries prior to storage or extended periods of inactivity!
All batteries, whether alkaline or rechargeable, should be removed
from the game calls, decoys, and remote controls prior to storage or
periods of inactivity. Batteries that are left inside of electronic devices
can leak over time as the chemicals start to break down. Damage
caused by this can be very severe and potentially destroy the electrical
components. To prevent this from happening, simply remove all
batteries from all devices before you put them away. Keep in mind;
damage caused by battery leakage is not a warranty issue.
Periodically charge your rechargeable batteries when not in use!
Rechargeable batteries will not last forever. To help maximize the
overall life of your rechargeable batteries, we recommend that you
periodically charge them up, perhaps once a month or once every other
