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.

Troubleshooting 

This section covers the basic troubleshooting aspects for the HammerJack and TX915 remote control.  

The most common problems are battery related. Before performing anything else, try installing fresh 
batteries. When your batteries get low, in either the HammerJack or the TX915 remote, unexpected
