Data:
• This 3-channel receiver is the economy model in our TRX family of modern
receivers. It will monitor up to 3 transmitter wearers.
• This is lightweight at only 14 ounces.
• It can be mounted on a 3-element directional yagi antenna.
• The receiver comes with rechargeable nicad batteries, a recharger and a DC power
cord for operation from a vehicle. You may also use disposable AAA batteries.
These batteries should last 14-15 hours.
• The TRX-3S is NOT waterproof. In rain, snow, fog, etc., please cover the receiver,
or use it only inside a vehicle. Water inside the receiver will void the warranty.
Operation: Please see the "Operation & Tips For Your Radio Recovery Equipment"
sheet for general operating instructions.
Unique Instructions:
1. Start the transmitter's signal by removing the magnet, or by inserting the batteries.
Turn on the receiver's power switch (PWR,) located at the center of the face.
2. Select the channel on which this transmitter broadcasts. Use the switch marked CH
to choose channels A, B or C. To determine which transmitter comes in on each
channel, look at the chart taped to your receiver. Each channel will be listed along
with its frequency range. For best reception, we have programmed your
transmitter's unique frequency number close to the center of the channel. Use the
TUNE knob at the right to bring in the signal that is best for your ear.
3. The beeping signal you hear will match the lights on the LED bar located at top
center of the receiver face. The LED bar shows you the signal strength. As the
flashing red lights move further right, you are getting closer to the transmitter
wearer. HOWEVER, to be effective, the lights do not need to bounce to the far
right. If you keep the gain/volume control low, the light bar will only move right a
few steps.
4. Remember to keep the volume as low as possible. High volume drains the battery,
causes distortion and make pinpointing more difficult.
5. To connect your antenna cable to the antenna jack on the back of your receiver,
push the connector in and clockwise to the right.
6. If background noise can be heard, use an earphone plugged into the PHONE jack on
the receiver face. IMPORTANT- the proper sized plug should be used. Foreign-
made earphones for radios and tape players do NOT work well. Wildlife Materials
supplies earphones for this purpose.
7. If using the attenuator switch at the back of the receiver to counter "swamping,"
be sure to turn off the attenuator after the transmitter collar moves back to a greater
distance. Otherwise, you may receive no signal at all.
