2.2 Internal Speaker Control
By disabling the internal speaker when using an external speaker(s), battery life
will be extended.
Disabling the Internal Speaker
1. Be sure that the power is turned “OFF.”
2. Locate the Internal Speaker Selector.
NOTE: The internal speaker selector is located below the USB port in the upper
left portion of the PC board.
3. Move the jumper to the left one pin or to “OFF.” This will disable the
internal speaker.
NOTE: Be sure to reposition this jumper to the “ON” position when an external
speaker(s) is not used.
3.0 BATTERIES
Your SCORPION X1B operates on 8 “AA” batteries. For optimal performance
and run times, we recommend high capacity NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride)
rechargeable cells rather than alkaline types.
NOTE: Remove batteries from battery holder when caller will not be used
for prolonged periods to help prevent deep discharge.
When you ask your SCORPION X1B caller to play at extremely loud volume
levels, the current demand on the batteries is much more than alkaline cells
can deliver. Consequently, the run time of these batteries can be very short.
The Zinc Carbon so-called “Heavy Duty” cells are expressly NOT
recommended at all. The performance of your SCORPION X1B will be much
better with high capacity NiMH batteries.
4.0 “AUX” JACK FUNCTION
The SCORPION X1B is equipped with an auxiliary jack labeled “AUX”. The
purpose of this jack is to allow for the connection of certain external devices,
such as the FOXPRO
®
Jack-in-the-Box or Jack-Attack Decoy and to be able to
turn these on and off with the TX9 remote control transmitter. However, there
are some strict electrical limits involved with this jack. If these limits are
exceeded, damage to your SCORPION X1B will result. This damage is not
covered by the warranty.
The electrically inclined will want to know that the jack is connected to the drain
of an internal Field Effect Transistor with a maximum current rating of 100mA.
The “tip” polarity of the 3.5mm jack is positive, while the sleeve is negative. If
