2-2 Patriot Requirements
The Patriot ships from the factory without batteries. The Patriot requires 4 ‘AA’ batteries (not included). We
recommend the use of lithium, rechargeable NiMH, or high-quality alkaline batteries for the best
performance. If you plan on operating the Patriot in cold conditions (under 32°F/0°C), we suggest lithium
batteries for maximum run times. Alkaline batteries do not last nearly as long in colder temperatures.
Installing Batteries in the Patriot
1. Open the battery compartment on the side of the Patriot. You might need to use a coin or a
flathead screwdriver to release the tab.
2. Locate and remove the plastic battery holder from the battery compartment. The battery holder
attaches to a red and black power wire.
3. Place the ‘AA’ batteries into each battery cavity of the battery holder while observing correct
polarity as indicated on the battery tray.
4. If you disconnected the power wire from the battery holder, reconnect it.
5. Place the battery holder back into the battery compartment and replace the battery
compartment door (see image below).
6. To verify that you have power: Slide the power switch to the “on” position (to the right). The
pilot LED should illuminate green, indicating that the Patriot is powered on. If the LED does not
illuminate, verify that your batteries are fresh and double-check the connections. The LED may
flicker for a period of time before glowing solid when the Patriot is initially powered on. This is
normal. If the LED begins blinking during operation, it indicates the batteries are low and need
replaced or recharged.

2-3 TX433 Requirements
The TX433 remote control operates on a single 9V battery (not included). It is recommended that you use a
high-quality lithium or alkaline battery for the best performance.
Installing a Battery in the TX433 Transmitter
1. Access the battery compartment by removing the battery compartment door from the back of
the TX433. The door slides down and off the remote.
2. Insert the 9V battery in the back of the remote.
3. Slide the battery compartment door back onto the remote.
4. Push and hold the power button on the TX433 for approximately 1-2 seconds to power it on. The
LCD will activate and display the primary screen.
2-4 Playing Sounds
The primary function of your Patriot game call is to produce sounds to attract wildlife. This section explains
how to turn on the Patriot and the TX433 and how to start playing sounds.
IMPORTANT NOTE
THE PATRIOT TRANSMITTER IS NOT INTENDED TO OPERATE THE CALLER AT DISTANCES
SHORTER THAN 1 METER (3 FEET). IF THE TRANSMITTER IS LOCATED TOO CLOSE TO THE
CALLER, PROPER OPERATION CANNOT BE ENSURED.
1. Turn on the Patriot by moving the power switch to the on position (to the right). When powered
on, the Patriot pilot light illuminates green, indicating that it is powered on. If the light does not
activate, replace your batteries and try again.
2. Turn on the Patriot horn speaker by moving the speaker switch to the right.
3. Turn on the TX433 transmitter by pushing and holding the power button for approximately 1-2
seconds.
4. Notice the black horizontal highlight bar on the TX433 display. The bar moves up and down the
screen as you use the “Scroll Up” or “Scroll Down” arrow buttons.
5. Move the highlight bar to one of the sound categories and push the “Select” button. Doing this
results in displaying all of the sounds in that particular category. To exit the current category,
push the “Back/Menu” button.
6. After moving the highlight bar to the sound you wish to play, push the “Select” button a single
time to begin playback. Your selected sound will begin playing at low volume.
7. To adjust the volume: Use the “Volume Up” button to raise the volume level to your desired
setting. Use the “Volume Down” button to decrease the volume level. The transmitter has 20
volume steps.
8. To silence the sound: Push the “Mute” button a single time. When muted, the mute status
indicator on the TX433 display shows an “M” and the current sound is silenced. Un-muting is
accomplished by pushing the “Mute” button a second time (the “M” will no longer be displayed
and the sound will resume playing).
9. To switch sounds: Use the scroll buttons to navigate to a different sound and push the “Select”
button. You can switch sounds while the Patriot is actively playing a sound or while muted.
10. To turn off the TX433: Push and hold the power button for approximately 1-2 seconds. Be aware
that turning off the remote control does not end sound playback on the Patriot. If you are
finished calling, use the “Mute” button to silence the Patriot prior to turning off the TX433.
11. To turn off the Patriot: Slide the power switch to the off position (to the left). The pilot LED will
extinguish.
