Foxpro XWave - Troubleshooting

57
Keep it clean! Our products are designed to be used outdoors and as a result, they can get dirty
from time to time. While the dirt may add a bit of character and show that you use it frequently
and hard, it is recommended that you spend a few moments after each hunt or at the end of
the season prior to storage to clean it up a bit. Total disassembly won’t be required, just remove
any debris, sticks, leaves, dirt, or anything else that shouldn’t be there. If dirt or foreign objects
make their way into the machine, it can cause problems down the road.
Store in a dry location! If you are planning on storing the unit away for the summer, it is
recommended to keep the unit in a dry location that is not prone to drawing moisture. It is also
recommended to remove all batteries prior to storage.
Other storage recommendations include: Do not stack heavy objects on top of your carrying
cases or other items that may be holding your caller and/or remote control. If too much
pressure is applied to the remote’s LCD screen, it can be punctured or damaged. Too much
weight bearing down on the caller or remote could result in cracking or fracturing of the plastic
housings.
Check it out before heading into the field! If you are getting your caller out for the first time
this season, take it out back and check it out before you head out on a hunt. Check your remote
range, fidelity, high volume, low volume, battery life, etc. Being prepared and ensuring proper
functionality before heading out on a trip can help you decide if you need new batteries, if it
needs service, or if everything is working well. This can help prevent cancellation of trips and
potential disappointment.
15. Troubleshooting
This section covers the troubleshooting aspects for the XWave and XWave remote control. The
most common problems are battery related. Before performing anything else, try installing
fresh batteries. When your batteries get low, in either the XWave or the XWave remote,
unexpected operation can occur. You can experience such things as loss of audio quality, loss of
remote control range, and other abnormal results.
Problem
Solution
XWave will Not Turn On
Make sure your battery pack is charged and the power
connection is tightly secured.
XWave does not produce any
sound
Check that the speakers are not turned off in the XWave
remote control. Check to see if you can play sounds
manually (without the remote). If you cannot play sounds
manually, connect the XWave to a computer and inspect
the sound files for missing files or signs of corruption.
