Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

E R A D has designed a Voice Controlled Wireless Remote Controller

Transmitter and Receiver for use in the Clay(s) shooting industry. This system
provides complete control and programming for Trap shooting, Skeet shooting,
Five Stand, Sporting Clays, and Outdoor (Personal back yard systems), etc. The
system is designed to provide Clubs and Individuals significant benefits over the
current systems available and major benefits over manual pulling of the clays.

The XT2004 transmitter is the size of a credit card and a little over one quarter of
an inch thick. It contains an "LCD" (Liquid Crystal Display) for the displaying of
data to the shooter and a 16 position "Keypad" for control and data entry. Access
to any given transmitter is through a personal "PIN" number limiting access to the
individual owner. It is powered by 2 ea. "2450" button cell batteries, available
from most all grocery stores, drug stores, Wal-Mart, Target stores etc. Life
expectancy is approximately 1 year. The RC2004 receiver is approximately 6" x
4" x 1 1/2" thick, and is installed by simply connecting it in place of the pull cord.
The receiver does NOT require batteries and may be permanently installed.

Installation of the XT2004 transmitter typically is by clipping (or Velcro) to the
user above the shirt pocket on the opposite side from the mounting of the gun.

Battery replacement:

1) To change the batteries first remove, if any, the Velcro clip from the back
side and set it aside.

2) Remove the screw in the back of the unit and set it aside.

3) CAREFULLY separate the two halves of the case using you finger nail or
a thin knife blade to approximately 1/4". If you are using a metal object,
such as a knife blade, do NOT allow the blade to enter the case. You may
short out a component and kill the unit.

Note: You must separate the two halves equally or you will damage

the alignment posts in each corner of the case. The top half
will stay attached to the bottom half via the flexible
interconnects between the keypad and the printed circuit
board. DO NOT PULL ON THESE CONNECTIONS.

4) Using your fingers, carefully lift the end corners (opposite from antenna),
of the battery packs to lift the printed circuit board out of the bottom case.
This will tilt the printed circuit board in the bottom case and allow you to
remove the batteries. The antenna end of the pc board will still be in the
bottom case with the antenna still passing thru the case.

5) Using an NON conductive item such as a q-tip push each battery out from
the middle of the pc board. MAKE note of the DIRECTION, that is, top
and bottom, of how the batteries are installed. IF YOU INSTALL ONE

OR BOTH OF THE BATTERIES UPSIDE DOWN IN THE UNIT
YOU WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND KILL THE UNIT.

6) Pull the batteries out and install two (2) new CR2450 or equivalent
batteries. MAKE SURE you install them with the (+) facing up as
marked on the battery packs.

Note: There are a couple nonessential items that are not stored and will

be reset when the batteries are removed. If you wish to retain these
items push one of the old batteries partially out and remove the
other completely. Upon installing the new battery in the open slot,
IMMEDIATELY pull the other old battery out and replace it. By
doing this the unit will never loose power and even the
nonessential items will be retained.

7) Reassemble the unit.

Functions include:

How to get started when the unit is in the "SLEEP" mode. Touch any key to
wake the unit up and go to the section on (PIN*NB) Pin Number.

*** SEL (Select key)

Enters/Exits the menu.

Use the (U/D/R/L) arrow keys to move through the menu.

*** (EDT) key (Edit key)

Typically used to ACCEPT or ENTER a functions.

*** MODE (Mode)

Allows the user to select from any of the following modes.

*** V*MAN (Voice Manual mode)

Releases the bird via voice call but follows no
"Game". The user touches the (OPT) key to initiate
the load sequence, touches the command keys (1-6)
they wish to load and then touches the (OPT) key
to complete the function. The user then calls for
the release of the bird. The system will simply
repeat the sequence over and over or until changed.

*** V*AUTO (Voice Auto, typical mode)

Releases the bird via voice call and follows the
"Game" selected by the shooter.

*** COMPET (Competition mode)

Competition mode simply calls for the bird. Which
station type or bird that is released is set by the
judge. (See JUDGE mode)

3

*** JUDGE (Judge mode)

This is a SPECIAL mode available from the "Club"
and MAYBE used by "Clubs/Judges" to control
fields during competitions. This is NOT a
mandatory mode for shooting competitions.

See: XT2004_Club.doc

*** GAME (Game selected)

Allows the user to select from any of the following games.

*** Skeet

*** Skeet international (Sets a 3.0 second random delay)

*** Skeet doubles

*** Trap
*** Trap doubles

*** Five stand beginner
*** Five stand intermediate
*** Five stand professional
*** Sporting clays
*** Custom

Note: The Custom mode allows the user to program up
an explicit set of commands to produce a custom
game.

*** VOLUME (Volume sensitivity) (Typical setting 650)

Using the (U/D/L/R) arrow keys allows the user to program the sensitivity
of the XT2004 to the call of the bird. Note that this should be set as
HIGH as possible and still release a bird when called. This will minimize
the chances of the system releasing uncalled for birds. While in this mode
the mic is automatically turned on and the shooter can TEST to see if the
unit will see their voice. This testing MUST be done with the unit
properly attached to the shooter and the gun MUST be mounted. If the
unit sees your voice it will beep three times. This does NOT charge you
for birds, and you may call as many times as you wish. Note that this test
function only works if you are logged OFF the field. If you enter this
mode while logged onto a field the test function will not work. It is highly
recommended that the shooter speak up allowing for a high volume setting
to minimize the chances of throwing unwanted birds, especially when
talking.

4

*** DELAY (Delay time)

By using the (U/D/L/R) arrow keys, allows the user to program up a delay
between calling for the bird and the actual release by the system in 2
hundredths of a second increments. (Max is 5*20) or 5.20 seconds delay.

*** DLY*FR (Delay * Fixed or Random)

Allows the user to select up whether the (DELAY see above) is a fixed
value or a random value.

*** DL*FIX (Delay fixed mode)

The system will delay the release of the bird for the exact
time interval set under the (DELAY time).

*** DL*RND (Delay random mode)

The system will randomly delay the release of the bird not
to exceed the value programmed under the (DELAY time).

*** CLUB (Club ID select)

Allows the user to select the "Club ID" of the club they are at. By
touching the (EDT) key the user can check if any birds are available for
release at this club. Touching the (L/A or R/A) keys at this time will show
the next "Club ID". The unit will remain on the last "Club ID" that was
selected AND the bird(s) were checked by touching the (EDT) key. With
the use of a P.C. or the proper codes and information the "Club" can add
birds purchased by the user. Within the "CLUB" function there are
several other functions available from this location allowing the club to
reprogram receivers for different field numbers and functionality, add or
edit "Club ID(s)", turn on or off timer functions, change the "Negative
Bird Setting", which is typically set at "0" (zero). This allows a shooter to
actually go below zero for the birds purchased to the "Negative value"
before the system will no longer release birds. This may be used by any
club but an example of its use is a club that typically run on the "Honor
system" and is typically unmanned most of the time, etc.
