Numerical Entry Method:
You can also directly access any sound by direct numerical entry on the
keypad. For example, if you want to play sound 005, simply press the numbers
0, 0, and 5 sequentially on the keypad.
6.5 SETTING THE VOLUME
When the TX-505 is first turned on, the volume setting is preset to 00, as the
display will indicate. Once you have selected and transmitted your sound to
the PRAIRIE BLASTER, simply depress the volume up button on the
transmitter to your desired level.
Depressing the volume buttons will cause the volume number to change in the
display from a low of “0” to a high of “40”. These changes are transmitted to
the PRAIRIE BLASTER in real time, causing the volume to ramp up or down.
The TX-505 allows you to change the volume step size to a specific level. By
default, the ramp speed will be set to 2. This means that every time you press
the volume up or down button, the volume level will increment or decrement by
2. You can change this value to 2, 4, 5, 8, or 10. To set this value:
NOTE:
If you have volume steps 2 or 4 selected, you will notice that when stepping the
volume up or down using a continuous key-press, the volume steps will gradually
increase to

2. Highlight the “TX505 CONFIG” menu and depress the rotary selector
knob one time.
3. Use the selector knob highlight “VOLUME STEPS” and then depress
the selector knob one time.
4. Use the selector knob to highlight the desired volume stepping value
and then depress the selector knob to lock it in.
5. Exit the menus.
The volume numbers are important, as you will begin to identify your preferred
volume settings, and with the PRAIRIE BLASTER placed away from you, it
gives you the ability to know exactly at what volume the PRAIRIE BLASTER is
playing. Without this, you may have a difficult time determining just how loud or
soft your unit is playing.
6.6 MUTE
To mute the current sound that is playing, simply depress the mute button on
the TX-505 transmitter. Mute mode is indicated by an “M” appearing in the
bottom status line. To un-mute, simply depress the mute button again.
The mute feature also serves as a pause function. When you mute the current
sound being played and un-mute again, the sound will begin playing at the
