particular firearm. There are 3 sensitivity levels that you can choose from: Low, Medium, and
High. The lower sensitivity setting should be used with higher caliber firearms such as a .30 and
higher. High sensitivity should be used for smaller calibers such as .17 to .22. Everything else
should work fine with the medium setting.
Setting the Sensitivity:
1. Access the FOX FEATURES menu on the XWave remote and locate FOXBANG.
2. Select FOXBANG Sen. and use the scroll buttons to cycle through the available
sensitivity options.
3. When the sensitivity level has been set, push “Play/Select” to lock it in.
The FOXBANG sensor is located inside of the XWave remote. In order for it to detect the
gunshot, the remote needs to be relatively close to the firearm (within 5 feet). It is assumed
that most hunters will have the remote on a lanyard around their neck.
An unintended and unavoidable consequence of adjusting the FOXBANG sensitivity to the
highest level is that handling noises, such as the banging of the transmitter case on your firearm
stock, may cause unexpected activation of FOXBANG. For this reason, you should choose the
lowest sensitivity that affords reliable activation from the muzzle blast. FOXBANG is intended to
work when the transmitter is located within about 5 feet of the firearm muzzle.
Before using FOXBANG in the field, head out to your local shooting range and test the
different sensitivity levels to find the one best suited to your firearm.
5-4 FOXPITCH
FOXPITCH enables you to modify the pitch of a sound being played to make it sound higher or
lower than the original recording to effectively transform the sound into something different.
This feature can be useful in areas that you frequently call for predators. If a particular sound
has netted you a good bit of success, like Lightning Jack, for example, but the animals do not
respond to that sound near as much as they did before, FOXPITCH allows you to manipulate
that sound to help make it fresh again.
FOXPITCH has numerous levels of operation. The normal state of a sound is when FOXPITCH is
set to off. When increasing the pitch, the value will rise from 1 through 9. Lowering goes from -1
through -9. As you adjust the pitch value, the effect will take place immediately. Note that if you
change the primary sound, FOXPITCH will automatically be deactivated.
Activating FOXPITCH:
1. Access the FOX FEATURES menu on the XWave remote and locate FOXPITCH.
