on this computer. Look for one titled “TRK”. Beside this icon is a letter in parenthesis—make a
note of this letter as this is what drive letter the Truck Pro is on. Double-click on this icon to

Mac Users
After the Truck Pro has been connected to your computer, you may hear an audible tone or
even get a visual alert indicating that a device has been connected. Once detection is complete,
you should see a new icon appear right on your desktop that is titled “TRK”. Double-click on this
icon to view the files.

Manual Programming Process
Manually programming the Truck Pro is a very simple process. You can perform the process
from a Windows PC or a Mac without any special software. The only requirements are that you
have the appropriate USB cable, fresh batteries, and a USB port on your computer.
To begin, connect the Truck Pro to your computer as described earlier in this chapter. Once it is
connected, browse to the Truck Pro and open it to view the contents. You should notice a folder
inside the Truck Pro titled “Sounds”. This folder is the location in which all of the sounds,
sequence files, and category files must be stored. If you wish to add new sounds, simply place
the sound files directly inside of the “Sounds” folder. Sounds can be removed by either deleting
them from the “Sounds” folder or moving them to a folder on your hard drive for later use.
It is not required that you rename the sound files in any way to correlate with a specific position
within the sound list, but doing so can help make the task of creating sequences and category
files much simpler. The next section of the manual discusses file indexing. The files are sorted
based upon the individual names of the sound files. For example, a sound file labeled
“Aggressive Bobcat” would appear before a sound labeled “Bobcat in Heat”.
After placing the sound files into the Truck Pro “Sounds” folder, you must disconnect the Truck
Pro from your computer and then synchronize the Truck Pro remote control with the Truck Pro
to update the sound list. Instructions on updating the Truck Pro remote sound list are featured
later in this chapter.

Indexing the Files
Files stored in the Truck Pro and Truck Pro remote are sorted based upon the names of the files.
For example, a sound titled “000 My Sound” will appear in the list before a sound titled “123
Lightning Jack”. While you can simply copy and paste sounds directly into the Truck Pro’s sound
folder, the ultimate order in which those sounds will appear in is based upon the names of
those files. This is important to understand when considering the implications upon other
features such as FOXCAST.
