Try to avoid situations where the Patriot 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

The most common problems are battery related. Before performing anything else, try installing fresh

batteries.

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

from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or

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.

Check that the speaker is in the "on" position (to the right).

This typically stems from an error in the play list in the Patriot. If you

recently added new sounds, double-check the programming for errors

such as duplicate or missing sound numbers.

Install fresh batteries and try again.

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 Patriot is turned OFF while connected to the

computer. Make sure that the memory card is properly situated in the

socket.

This is the low battery indicator. Replace your batteries.

Problem detected with the memory card. Contact support.
