Wildlife Materials TRX-5000S Operating Instructions Manual

Wildlife Materials International, Inc.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TRX-5000S RECEIVER
Important Precautions: Please read all instructions before usage.
DO NOT EXPOSE TO WATER, FIRE or EXCESSIVE DUST. Aluminum box is water
resistant; interior is NOT GUARANTEED WATERPROOF. In rain or fog, close lid, wrap
in plastic or use from inside vehicle.
When the DC external power cord is used, ALWAYS insert the cord's plug into the
receiver's DC external power jack BEFORE plugging the cigarette lighter cord into
a vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure can cause the fuse in the cigarette lighter
power plug to blow.
After batteries have been used for 5 hours, they should be charged for 4 hours for each
hour of operation. Do not charge more than 24 hours. Overcharging can result in
loss of battery life.
INFORMATION about CONTROLS:
ANTENNA JACK: Accepts any 50 ohm coaxial cable with a BNC plug. To insert plug,
push in jack and give a slight twist to the right.
ATTENUATOR Switch: Prevents swamping of the received signal at close range. When
the transmitter-wearer's signal seems to come to the receiver with equal strength from
all directions, an attenuator can make the true direction easier to find. Turn Attenuator
switch ON. The strongest signal will come from one direction, where the animal is
located. When not needed, (if transmittered animal moves farther out) turn attenuator
switch OFF.
