6-3 Updating the Transmitter Playlist & Category List
You will need to obtain a 3.5mm male-to-male stereo cable for this process. Make sure that the cable
detect setting (see section 5-19) is turned on to follow these steps.
1. Disconnect all accessories from the Inferno (i.e. speakers or decoy) and make sure that it is
turned off.
2. Turn on the transmitter.
3. Connect the 3.5mm cable from the sound upload jack on the transmitter to the AUX jack on the
Inferno. If the Inferno transmitter sound upload jack is gray: the transmitter will display a
message stating: “Turn caller off. Connect remote to AUX jack on call.” If the Inferno transmitter
sound upload jack is black: there will be no message displayed on the screen and you can
continue on to the next step.
4. Power on the Inferno to initiate the transfer process. The display on the remote updates as the
transfer progresses. It displays the number of sounds transferred and whether or not a valid
category file has been found. When complete, the screen returns to the normal view.
5. Unplug the cable from the transmitter and Inferno. Browse through the categories or sound list
to view the changes.
Product Care & Maintenance
Avoid exposure to all precipitation and moisture. Moisture (perhaps from rain, snow, condensation, or
other) can potentially enter the unit or the battery compartment and cause serious problems. Proper care
should be taken to mitigate the 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 render the unit damaged and out of warranty. This type of damage is preventable! If you are
operating in rainy, wet conditions, it is recommended that you place the unit inside of a large plastic 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. 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 transmitters prior to storage or periods of inactivity. Batteries left inside of
electronic devices can leak over time. Damages caused by this can be 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 covered under warranty.
Troubleshooting
The most common problems are battery related. Before performing anything else, try installing fresh
batteries.
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Inferno will Not Turn On
Make sure you have fresh batteries installed. If using rechargeable
batteries, make sure they are fully charged. Inspect the battery tray for
signs of corrosion.
Inferno does not produce any sound
Check that the speaker is in the “on” position (to the right).
Cannot transfer sound list to Inferno
transmitter
This typically stems from an error in the play list in the Inferno. If you
recently added new sounds, double-check the programming for errors
such as duplicate or missing sound numbers.
Inferno transmitter does not turn on
Install fresh batteries and try again.
Poor battery life in extreme cold weather
conditions
Cold weather operations can take a serious toll on alkaline batteries. It is
strongly recommended that you use lithium or rechargeable NiMH
batteries to get the best performance in cold weather.

Make sure that the Inferno is turned OFF while connected to the
computer. Make sure that the memory card is properly situated in the
