3-4 External Speaker Jacks Specifications
The X2S features two external speaker jacks. These are standard 3.5mm female jacks that can
accept a 3.5mm male plug. When selecting an external speaker to use with the X2S, note that
FOXPRO recommends the use of a speaker with 8Ω Impedance.
FOXPRO carries a variety of external speakers for purchase that can be used with the X2S. You
can view the line of speakers online by visiting www.gofoxpro.com
Connect an external speaker to Your X2S:
1. Make sure that the X2S is powered-off before connecting an external speaker.
2. Connect the plug from the external speaker to either the left or right external speaker
jack.
3. Turn on the X2S and begin playing a sound to hear the external speaker in action.
3-5 Auxiliary Device Jack Specifications
The X2S is equipped with an auxiliary jack labeled “AUX”. This jack is located on the front of the
X2S. The purpose of this jack is to allow for the connection of certain external devices (such as
Jack Predator Decoys) for triggering their action on and off by using the X2S remote control.
While you may be able to connect other devices to the auxiliary jack beyond Jack Predator
Decoys, there are strict electrical limits involved with this jack. If these limits are exceeded,
damage to your X2S will result. That damage is not covered by warranty.
The electrically inclined will want to know that the jack is connected to the drain of an internal
FET with a maximum current rating of 2A. The tip polarity of the 3.5mm jack is positive, the
sleeve is negative. If the external device is connected with reverse polarity, an internal
production diode within the FET will conduct causing the device to stay on constantly. The
maximum voltage applied to this jack cannot exceed 15VDC.
Instructions for connecting various devices to the auxiliary jack are beyond the scope of this
manual. You are urged to seek help from a knowledgeable professional before connecting any
unapproved devices to the jack. Keep in mind that any damage to the X2S as a result of
improper use of the auxiliary jack is not covered by the warranty, nor will FOXPRO be liable for
damage to any connected devices.
3-6 Integrated USB Port
The X2S features a USB port. The port is located inside the battery compartment of the caller.
See Figure 1-3 for the location of the port. This port allows you to connect a USB cable from the
X2S to a USB port on a computer for performing such tasks as loading FOXCAST sequence files
and reprogramming sounds. Both of these topics will be covered in a later section.
