2-1 Playing Sounds
The primary function of your HammerJack game call is to produce sounds to attract wildlife. This section
explains how to turn on the HammerJack and the TX915, and how to start playing sounds. Be aware that the
HammerJack can only play sounds by being commanded by the TX915 transmitter.
IMPORTANT NOTE
THE TX915 TRANSMITTER IS NOT INTENDED TO OPERATE THE CALLER AT DISTANCES SHORTER
THAN 1 METER (3 FEET). IF THE TRANSMITTER IS LOCATED TOO CLOSE TO THE CALLER,
PROPER OPERATION CANNOT BE ENSURED.
1.
Turn on the HammerJack by turning the power on/off switch clockwise until it clicks.
2.
Make sure that at least one of your internal speakers is turned on by sliding the respective
speaker on/off switch to the right or “on” position.
3.
Turn on the TX915 transmitter by pushing and holding the power button for approximately 1-2
seconds.
4.
Notice the black horizontal highlight bar on the TX915 display. The bar moves up and down the
screen as you use the “Scroll Up” or “Scroll Down” arrow buttons.
5.
Move the highlight bar to one of the sound categories and push the “Select” button. Doing this
results in displaying all of the sounds in that particular category. To exit the current category,
push the “Back/Menu” button.
6.
After moving the highlight bar to the sound you wish to play, push the “Select” button a single
time to begin playback. You won’t hear anything at first as the volume level hasn’t been set.
7.
To adjust the volume: Use the “Volume Up” button to raise the volume level to your desired
setting. Use the “Volume Down” button to decrease the volume level. The transmitter has 20
volume steps.
8.
To silence the sound: Push the “Mute” button a single time. When muted, the mute status
indicator on the TX915 display shows an “M” and the current sound is silenced. Un-muting is
accomplished by pushing the “Mute” button a second time (the “M” will no longer be displayed
and the sound will resume playing).
9.
To switch sounds: Use the scroll buttons to navigate to a different sound and push the “Select”
button. You can switch sounds while the HammerJack is actively playing a sound or while muted.
10.
To turn off the TX915: Push and hold the power button for approximately 1-2 seconds. Be aware
that turning off the remote control does not end sound playback on the HammerJack. If you are
finished calling, use the “Mute” button to silence the HammerJack prior to turning off the TX915.
11.
To turn off the HammerJack: Rotate the power switch to the off position (counter-clockwise).
2-2 Using Favorites/Presets (P1 and P2)
The TX915 transmitter is capable of storing up to 10 unique presets/favorites. A preset, or favorite, is a
shortcut to a specific sound and volume level. The TX915 has 2 quick-access preset buttons located on the
keypad labeled “P1” and “P2.” By default, the transmitter has one preset established which is sound 000
(Coyote Pup Distress 3) at volume 10 (50% max).
Creating a New Favorite/Preset
1.
From the main screen on the transmitter, select the “Favorites/Presets” menu item.
2.
Select one of the 10 preset slots. Notice that the screen indicates “Preset Recording” on the top
line of the display. The second line down displays “P1 – Select Sound.”
3.
Use the scroll buttons to highlight the sound you want to select for this preset and then push the
“Select” button.
4.
Use the volume buttons to set the desired volume level for this preset and then push “Select.”
5.
Your preset is now setup.
