sound selection and then push the “Select” button. You can switch sounds while the Patriot is actively
playing a sound or while muted.
Auxiliary Jack Function
The AUX jack is provided primarily for the control of FOXPRO decoys, and may be suitable for controlling
other similar devices. It is NOT intended for the direct control of motors, flashlights, or other devices
requiring the internal AUX jack circuitry to switch more than 50 milliamps. The jack tip polarity is positive.
Do not exceed 15 volts. You are urged to seek help from a knowledgeable professional before connecting
any unapproved device to the jack. Keep in mind that any damage to the FOXPRO caller as a result of
improper use of the AUX jack is not covered by the warranty, nor will FOXPRO be liable for damage to any
connected devices.
Using External Speakers
The Patriot is equipped with an external speaker jack which allows you to connect an additional speaker. By
connecting a larger and more efficient external speaker to the Patriot, the volume level can be increased
significantly. You can find a complete selection of external speakers to purchase on the FOXPRO website.
The external speaker jack on your Patriot accepts a standard 3.5mm plug. When selecting an external
speaker, it is recommended to use one with an impedance rating of 8-ohms. NOTE: Be sure the Patriot is
turned OFF before connecting an external speaker! To connect an external speaker, plug the connector of
the external speaker into the external speaker jack on the side of the Patriot. If you wish to have ONLY the
external speaker produce sound, you must disable the internal speaker by moving the speaker switch to the
left or off position.
