Foxpro Hammer Jack 2 - FOXCAST Sequence Files

16
9. FOXCAST
The HammerJack 2 can operate from a special sequence file that provides the unit with instructions on how
to operate for the duration of the hunt. Sound sequences can provide you with a completely hands-free
experience in the field. You can have up to ten unique sequences in your HammerJack 2. The HammerJack 2
is preloaded with 10 sequences created by FOXPRO Pro Staff members. To view the sequences, select the
“Foxcast” menu item from the main menu on the TX433. Scroll through the available FOXCAST sequence
files using the sound up or down buttons. When you find a sequence you wish to play, push the “Select”
button a single time, just like selecting a sound. When the HammerJack 2 begins operating from a sequence
file, it does not require any further interaction from the remote control. You can adjust the volume as the
sequence plays, but keep in mind that any subsequent volume instructions in the sequence file will
eventually override your manual adjustments. You can break out of a sequence by either selecting a
different sequence or selecting a sound for playback. A FOXCAST sequence file is a simple text file that
contains unique instructions to guide your HammerJack 2 through a stand. These instructions include
commands to change the sound, change the volume level, enter a passage of silence, and so forth. Here is a
chart showing all of the available commands:
