11. Maximizing Remote Range

Remote range can be affected by many factors. Some of these factors can be controlled while
others cannot. In order to achieve the best possible remote range with your Scorpion X1A
digital game call system, it is recommended that the following points be observed:
Always use high quality alkaline batteries in the remote.
•
Always maintain clear line of sight between the remote control and the Scorpion X1A.
•
Any obstructions—no matter how significant or insignificant—can adversely affect the
radio signal.
Try to keep the remote control approximately six inches away from your body, gun
•
barrel, and metal shooting sticks as these things can detune the remote control.
Hold the remote control vertically with the antenna pointing skyward.
•
Avoid using the device remotely when you are near power lines, cellular phone
•
towers, and radar (such as near airports or military installations).
Try to elevate the caller off of the ground by approximately three feet. This can
•
greatly maximize your overall remote control range.
Try to avoid situations where the Scorpion X1A is placed at a lower elevation than the
•
remote control—the caller should always be higher.
Solution
Make sure that you have fresh batteries installed. If you
are using rechargeable batteries, make sure they are fully
charged. Inspect your battery tray and make sure the
springs are not compressed or corroded as this could lead
to poor battery connectivity.
Make sure the internal speaker selector switch is set to
"ON." Make sure the micro SD memory card is seated
squarely in place.

This typically stems from an error in the play list on the
Scorpion X1A. If you recently added new sounds, double-
check the programming for errors such as duplicate or
missing sound numbers.
Install a new 9V battery.
