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. 

8-3 FOXFEATURES: User Button 

The User button is located on the transmitter keypad. This button can be assigned a function of your choice 
for quick one-button access. You can choose from: recall, timer reset, backlight, preset 3, preset 4, and 
preset 5. To set this, highlight the “USER” menu item, push the “Select” button, and then use the “Sound 
Up” or “Sound Down” scroll button to cycle through the options. When the desired option has been set, 
push “Select” a final time to lock it in. 

8-4 Sound Settings: Volume Steps 

The TX915 has a range of volumes from 0 – 20. Increasing the volume in the field by increments of 1 may be 
too slow for some, therefore, this stepping value is configurable. You can choose from 1, 2, and 3. To 
change the volume steps, highlight the “Volume Step” menu item, push the “Select” button, and then use 
the “Sound Up” or “Sound Down” scroll button to cycle through the options. When the desired option is set, 
push “Select” a final time to lock it in.

 

8-5 Sound Settings: Play Mode 

This menu allows you to specify which mode of sound playback the HammerJack operates on. The available 
options are: repeat, single play, and jukebox. The default setting is repeat. In this play mode, the 
HammerJack will play the selected sound non-stop. In single play mode the sound will play a single time 
and then stop. In jukebox mode the sounds play a single time, incrementally. The Play Mode setting is not 
stored between power cycles. You will need to change this setting each time you power on the HammerJack 
remote. 

8-6 Sound Settings: Preset Mute Override 

During normal operation, if the HammerJack is muted and you play a preset, the preset is queued for 
playback, but it cannot be heard until the caller is un-muted. Preset mute override will take care of this and 
eliminate the need for un-muting the sound upon preset activation. It works by initially checking to see if 
mute is active and, if it is, it will un-mute the unit prior to initiating playback of the preset sound. This is 
especially useful for FOXBANG operation. Turning on preset mute override can be done by accessing the 
Sound Settings, highlight the “Preset Mt. O/R” menu item, push “Select”, and then use the “Sound Up” or 
“Sound Down” to toggle between off and on. Push “Select” a final time to lock it in. This setting is 
remembered between power cycles. 

8-7 Display/Power: Backlight 

This item allows you to change the intensity of the backlight in a range from 10% - 100%. The lower the 
intensity, the better your battery life will be. To adjust this setting, highlight the Backlight menu option, 
push the “Select” button, and then use the “Sound Up” or “Sound Down” scroll buttons to cycle through the 
values. When you have selected the desired backlight intensity, push the “Select” button a final time to lock 
it in. This setting is remembered between power cycles. 

8-8 Display/Power: Backlight T.O. 

This item allows you to set the duration for the backlight timeout. The backlight illuminates per button 
press. If the backlight is illuminated and you do not push a button within the set period of time, the 
backlight will automatically shut off. Available values are 15 seconds, 30 seconds, and 1 minute. Keeping 
this at a lower value will help promote maximum battery life. To adjust this setting, highlight the Backlight
