• Avoid using the device remotely when you are near power lines, cellular phone towers, and
radar (such as near airports or military installations).
• Try to elevate the caller off of the ground by approximately three feet. This can greatly maximize
your overall remote control range.
• Try to avoid situations where the X1 is placed at a lower elevation than the remote control—the
caller should always be higher.
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
FCC & IC Information
RF Exposure Safety Notice
The Patriot transmitter is not intended to be operated closer than 20cm (about 8 inches) to your body. The
transmitter can produce a radiated RF field similar to that of a standard cell telephone, although the duty
cycle of this RF field is much lower than that of a cell telephone. Using the transmitter closer than 8 inches
to your body can increase your exposure to RF energy levels thought by some to be harmful. Additionally,
operation in close proximity to your body can detune the antenna causing a decrease in operating
performance.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm
