Problem Solution
Scorpion X1C will Not Turn On Make sure that you have fresh batteries installed. If you
are using rechargeable batteries, make sure they are fully
charged. Inspect your battery tray and make sure the
springs are not compressed or corroded as this could lead
to poor battery connectivity.

Check the position of the speaker selection shunt. If you
are trying to operate the internal speaker only, be sure it
is set to “INT.” If using an external speaker, make sure it is
set to “EXT.”

9. Maximizing Remote Range
Remote range can be affected by many factors. Some of these factors can be controlled while
others cannot. In order to achieve the best possible remote range with your Scorpion X1C digital
game call system, it is recommended that the following points be observed:
• Always use high quality alkaline batteries in the remote.
• Always maintain clear line of sight between the remote control and the Scorpion X1C.
Any obstructions—no matter how significant or insignificant—can adversely affect the
radio signal.
• Try to keep the remote control approximately six inches away from your body, gun
barrel, and metal shooting sticks as these things can detune the remote control.
• Hold the remote control vertically with the antenna pointing skyward.
• Avoid using the device remotely when you are near power lines, cellular phone
towers, and radar (such as near airports or military installations).
