5.3 TURNING ON THE TX-500
To turn on your TX-500 transmitter, simply push and hold the selector
knob for 4 seconds.
This delay is to help prevent an accidental turn on. Be
sure to turn off the TX-500 transmitter after use so that unnecessary battery
drain is prevented. To do so, push and hold the selector knob until the
selection menu appears (with turn off transmitter already highlighted). By
pressing the selection knob a second time the transmitter will shut off. Should
you forget to off the transmitter when you are finished, it will automatically shut
down after 2 hours of non-use.
5.4 SELECTING SOUNDS
The TX-500 provides you with two methods of selecting and changing sounds
on your FOXPRO
®
SNOW-CROW PRO 2. You can use the rotary selector
knob to scroll through and send sound selections or you can directly enter the
sound number by using the numeric keypad.
Rotary Selector Method:
The rotary selector knob is located on the top right of the TX-500. This is a
dual-function knob that provides you with clockwise/counterclockwise action to
scroll through the sound list as well as a push button function to send sound
changes to the unit (it also works to confirm or lock-in various menu changes by
pushing down it.)
With the TX-500 turned on, you will see six sounds displayed on the screen.
Clockwise rotation of the knob scrolls the highlight bar up the page, while
counter-clockwise rotation moves it down. Once the bar reaches the top of the
6 displayed sounds, the next movement of the knob in the same direction will
cause the sounds to increment or decrement. Once the sound you wish to play
is highlighted in the display, push down on the selector knob to have it
transmitted to the SNOW-CROW PRO 2 for play.
You can scroll through sounds one at a time (up or down) very quickly by
turning the rotary sound selector knob or if preferred you can configure the
transmitter to scroll by six sounds at a time. The rotary sound selector knob is
used to highlight sounds on the display, change the page being viewed, and to
send the selected sound to the SNOW-CROW PRO 2.
Counterclockwise rotation decrements the sound lists. Clockwise rotation
increments the sound lists. If you wish to start your current sound playing from
the beginning, simply depress the knob again.
To switch sounds, simply select and highlight your desired sound and depress
the rotary selector knob. As you can see, even with hundreds of sounds
programmed, you can be set up to be never more than a few revolutions of the
rotary sound selector knob away from any sound.
