care should be taken to mitigate the introduction of (or potential for introduction of) moisture into the
machine and make sure that no moisture is present during storage. Moisture can quickly lead to corrosion,
electrical shorts, and even rust—all of which can possibly render the unit damaged and out of warranty.
This type of damage is preventable. For example, if you are operating in rainy, wet conditions, it is
recommended that you place the unit inside of a large plastic freezer storage bag or use a
water/weatherproof deployment bag to keep water from getting to it. When storing the unit for prolonged
periods, be sure that you keep it in a dry location not susceptible to drawing moisture.
Remove batteries prior to storage or extended periods of inactivity! All batteries, whether alkaline or
rechargeable, should be removed from the game calls, decoys, and remote controls prior to storage or
periods of inactivity. Batteries that are left inside of electronic devices can leak over time as the chemicals
start to break down. Damages caused by this can be very severe and potentially destroy the electrical
components. To prevent this from happening, simply remove all batteries from all devices before you put
them away. Keep in mind: damage caused by battery leakage is not a warranty issue.
Periodically charge your rechargeable batteries when not in use! Rechargeable batteries will not last
forever. To help maximize the overall life of your rechargeable batteries, we recommend that you
periodically charge them up, perhaps once a month or once every other month, to keep them fresh.
Batteries that are left uncharged can enter into a state of deep discharge. Batteries in this state can, at
times, no longer accept a charge and result in unexpected operation or complete failure in the field. It is
also recommended that you replace rechargeable batteries about once a year just to keep them fresh.
Keep it clean! Our products are designed to be used outdoors and, as a result, they can get dirty from time
to time. While the dirt may add a bit of character and show that you use it frequently and hard, it is
recommended that you spend a few moments after each hunt or at the end of the season prior to storage
to clean it up a bit. Total disassembly won’t be required, just remove any debris, sticks, leaves, dirt, or
anything else that shouldn’t be there. If dirt or foreign objects make their way into the machine, it can cause
problems down the road.
Store in a dry location! If you are planning on storing the unit away for the summer, it is recommended to
keep the unit in a dry location that is not prone to drawing moisture. It is also recommended to remove all
batteries prior to removal.
Other storage recommendations include: Do not stack heavy objects on top of your carrying cases or other
items that may be holding your caller and/or remote control. If too much pressure is applied to the
remote’s LCD screen, it can be punctured or damaged. Too much weight bearing down on the caller or
remote could result in cracking or fracturing of the plastic housings.
Check it out before heading into the field! If you are getting your caller out for the first time this season,
test and inspect it before you head out on a hunt. Check your remote range, fidelity, high volume, low
volume, battery life, etc. Being prepared and ensuring proper functionality before heading out on a trip can
help you decide if you need new batteries, if it needs service, or if everything is working well. This can help
prevent cancellation of trips and potential disappointment.
