Programming the Patriot
The Patriot can operate up to 200 sounds in total. From the factory, it’s loaded with 35 premium sounds
along with all current free sounds. Programming the Patriot is done with the use of a PC or Mac computer,
or by sending the Patriot to the factory. In order to program the Patriot from home, you will need a USB 2.0
A/B printer cable and a computer running one of the following operating systems: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8,
8.1, or Mac OS X 10.7.3 or newer. For detailed programming guides, please visit the FOXPRO website. Mac

You can access the FOXPRO website at any time to purchase new sounds for your Patriot. The website is
located at: http://www.gofoxpro.com. From the site, access the “FOXPRO Sounds” menu option from the
main menu and click on one of the sound pack options. You can purchase 4 sounds of your choice, 8 sounds
of your choice, and 16 sounds of your choice. The Patriot is also capable of playing MP3 and uncompressed
WAV files obtained from other sources. The maximum number of sounds that your Patriot can hold at one
time is 200.
6-2 Programming the Patriot
The first step is to download and install the FOXPRO Sound Programming Utility. The installer for the
FOXPRO Sound Programming Utility can be downloaded directly from our website at any time by visiting:
http://www.gofoxpro.com/programmer (Mac users: see the note at the bottom of the page). Follow the
provided instructions on that page to install the software and become familiar with it.
Connecting your Patriot to your Computer
The USB port is located inside the back access compartment (see Figure 4 to the right) of the Patriot. Make
sure the Patriot is powered off while it is connected to your computer. After connecting the Patriot to your
computer, launch the utility. The utility should recognize the device and display "Connected to..." followed
by the device name. The "Caller Sound Files" column will become active and display the sounds currently
installed.
File Locations / Sound Library
When you initially launch the Sound Programming Utility, it creates a folder called “FOXPRO” in your
documents folder. The Sound Programming Utility expects to find new sound files in the Documents ->
FOXPRO -> Sounds folder. If you have your new sounds stored somewhere else, use the “Browse Library”
button to locate the sounds.
Brief Overview on Programming New Sounds:
1. Connect the Patriot to your computer.
2. Launch the programming utility.
3. If you do not see your new sounds under the "Source Sound Files" column, use the "Browse
Library" button to navigate to the correct location. When the appropriate files are found,
double-click on any of the sounds to automatically load all files from that location.
4. Select one, multiple, or all sound files in the "Source Sound Files" column. Click on the position
you wish to load the sounds into on the “Caller Sound Files” column and click "Insert.”
5. When complete, Windows users must click on the "Update Caller" button to save your changes.
Mac users will not have an “Update Caller” button as the sounds are inserted in real time.
6. Exit the utility and update your transmitter playlist.
