PitchCom Transmitter Mode Instructions
The PitchCom transmitter can be placed into three different modes. A first mode in which the
pitch type and pitch location are selected, a second mode in which only the pitch type is
selected, and a third mode in which running game signals are called instead of pitches. In the
first mode, two button pushes are required, the first selecting the pitch type and the second
selecting the pitch location. In the second mode, only one button is pushed to select the pitch
type. Similarly, in the third mode, a single button push will select and send the running game
signal.
The first mode, in which the pitch type and pitch locations (“Pitch and Location Mode”) are
transmitted, is entered into by first depressing and holding the cancel and the number 8
button simultaneously. While holding these two buttons down, the 1 button is pushed to set
the transmitter into the first mode. The white LED light on the transmitter will blink upon
setting this mode. In the Pitch and Location Mode, signals will only be sent after two button
pushes, and each receiver will hear a pitch type and a pitch location.
To switch the transmitter into the second mode (“Pitch Only Mode”), depress and briefly hold
the cancel and number 8 buttons simultaneously, and while holding these two buttons, press
button number 2. buttons 2 and 8. The white LED light on the transmitter will blink upon
setting the mode. In the Pitch Only Mode, signals will be sent after a single button push, and
each receiver will only hear a pitch type.
To set the transmitter into the third mode, the running game, simply repeat the process, but
instead of pushing button 1 or 2, push button 3 while holding down the cancel and number 8
buttons.
Switching back and forth between the pitching modes simply requires depressing the 8 button
and either the 1 or 2 button simultaneously. This mode switching functionality allows the
signals provided to a pitcher to be in that pitcher’s preferred format, i.e., with or without
location. We recommend ensuring the transmitter has switched modes by pushing one or two
buttons before using it in the game. If it has not switched, simply repeat the process.
System Maintenance
The PitchCom System components are designed to be very low maintenance.
The receivers are charged through theirmicro USB ports. Firmware upgrades and audio tracks
are provided through the micro USB ports. Each battery charge should last at least 6 hours of
continuous receiver use. We recommend recharging the receivers after each game in which the
