and then click on ‘Computer’. The next screen will show all of the available drives on this 
computer. Look for one titled “X2S”. Beneath this icon is a letter in parenthesis—make a note of 
this letter as this is what drive letter the X2S is on. Double-click on this icon to view the files. 
 

Mac Users 

After the X2S 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 “X2S”. Double-click on this icon 
to view the files.

Manual Programming Process 

Manually programming the X2S 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 X2S to your computer as described earlier in this section. Once it is 
connected, browse to the X2S and open it to view the contents. You should notice a folder 
inside the X2S 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 X2S “Sounds” folder, you must disconnect the X2S from 
your computer and then synchronize the X2S remote control with the X2S to update the sound 
list. Instructions on updating the X2S remote sound list are featured later in this Section.

Indexing the Files 

Files stored in the X2S and X2S 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 X2S’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.
