Programming The Patriot; Obtaining New Foxpro Sounds - Foxpro Patriot Instruction Manual

Programming the Patriot

The Patriot can store up to 300 sounds in total. From the factory, it's loaded with 35 premium sounds along
with all current free sounds. All free sounds are prefixed with "F_" for easy recognition. The main
difference between premium sounds and free sounds is the premium sounds are all live animal recordings
whereas the free sounds contain both manmade and real sounds. The Patriot is capable of using FOXPRO's
proprietary audio file type (FXP), MP3, and uncompressed WAV files. Programming the Patriot can be done
with 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 mini A/B cable (not included with the Patriot) and a computer running one of the
following operating systems: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, Windows 10, or Mac OS X 10.7.3 or newer.
