7-20 Remote Settings: Cable Detect
If cable detect is turned on, the transmitter will automatically prompt you to perform the download list
function when a 3.5mm stereo cable is connected to the sound upload jack. You can manually initiate the
download list process, if you prefer, by disabling this feature.
Programming the X1
The X1 can store up to 300 sounds in total. From the factory, it’s loaded with 100 premium sounds along
with all current free sounds. All free sounds are prefixed with “F_” for easy recognition. The main
difference between premium sounds and free sounds is the premium sounds are all live animal recordings
whereas the free sounds contain both manmade and real sounds. The X1 is capable of using FOXPRO’s
proprietary audio file type (FXP), MP3, and uncompressed WAV files. Programming the X1 can be done with
a PC or Mac computer, or by sending the X1 to the factory. In order to program the X1 from home, you will
need a USB 2.0 cable (not included with the X1) and a computer running one of the following operating
systems: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, Windows 10, or Mac OS X 10.7.3 or newer.
8-1 Obtaining New FOXPRO Sounds
Access the FOXPRO website to purchase new sounds or download new free sounds. The website is located
at: http://www.gofoxpro.com. You can purchase premium sounds of your choice, or you can choose to
download free sounds. To purchase and download new sounds, click on the desired sound pack choice and
work through the ordering steps. At the end of the process, you will be able to save your sound pack to the
computer. To download free sounds, please visit: http://www.gofoxpro.com/free.
To download sounds that you have purchased, access the FOXPRO website and login to your store account.
Click the “My Account” menu and click on “Sound Pack Download Manager.” Locate the sound pack you
wish to download and click the “Download” button. Note that, you will be saving a compressed zip archive
file that bundles all of the sounds together (you can opt to download the sounds individually if you have a
slow internet connection). The new sounds can then be programmed into the X1 by using the FOXPRO
Sound Programming Utility, which is covered in the next section.
8-2 Programming the X1
The FOXPRO Sound Programming Utility has versions available for both Windows and Mac operating
systems. You can find them both at the following link:
https://www.gofoxpro.com/programming
Under the heading “Software Links”, you should see a link for the Windows and Mac versions. Click on the
appropriate link for your operating system to go to the download page.
Windows users will see that there is both a 32-bit and 64-bit version of the utility available. The 64-bit
version should work fine on most modern computers. If your computer is a little on the older side, you will
want to use the 32-bit version. To download the installer (executable .exe file), click on the link
corresponding with the correct version. After doing that, the installer file will be saved to your computer.
You must now open that file to allow the installer to setup the utility on your computer. We recommended
keeping all of the default options as they are. You will have the ability to create a Desktop icon if you wish.
When installation is complete, the utility can be located in your Start Menu > FOXPRO Programmer.
Mac users can download a Mac Application Bundle for the utility. This is a bundle that contains the utility
and provides the easiest method for installation. Simply download the bundle and then move it into your
Applications folder. Note that, depending upon your security settings, you may need to add an exception
for the file after you have it downloaded.
Connecting your X1 to the PC
Remove the cover from the rear of the X1. Once inside, also remove the battery pack. You will find the USB
