Using the FOXPRO Fury GX7 Digital Game Call Congratulations on the purchase of your FOXPRO Fury digital wildlife caller! You have chosen a highly advanced product that is easy to use and loaded with some of the most innovative features to date. The Fury is the product of an engineering effort that has spanned several years. Please take this time to read and understand the information in this instruction manual to ensure the best possible experience with your new FOXPRO Fury.
We strongly recommend high capacity NiMH rechargeable batteries over alkaline types for maximum performance, particularly when using loud volume levels. 1) Remove the battery door. The battery door is located on the side of the caller and is held in place with a knurled thumbscrew. 2) Orient the batteries as per the directions shown in each cavity within the holder. Note that the battery polarity alternates. 3) Replace the battery door after the batteries are installed. 1.
further clockwise you turn the knob, the louder the unit will play. At this point, the LCD display on the FURY will first display the software revision and then display two flashing horizontal bars “- -“. 3) Press the up or down arrow keypad button on the FURY to select a sound number. Once selected, release the button, and the sound will play. To select a different sound, simply press the up or down arrow buttons again to your desired sound. 1.
You can also use the numeric keypad to enter the three digit number of the sound you wish to play. When you begin entering a number on the keypad, the numbers you type will appear in large text on the screen. You need to enter the three digit number of the sound you wish to play. For example, type in a number in the range of 000 through 499 to play the corresponding sound. Auxiliary Button Use the “AUX” button to activate a device such as a decoy or camera connected to the FURY “AUX” jack. 1.
times, we recommend using high capacity 2000-2800 mAh NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable cells rather than alkaline types. When you operate your FURY to play at extremely loud volume levels, the current demand on the batteries is much more than alkaline cells can deliver. Consequently, the run time of these batteries can be very short. The Zinc Carbon so-called “Heavy Duty” cells are expressly NOT recommended at all. The performance of your FURY will be much better with high capacity NiMH batteries.
attach the transformer end of the charger to the appropriate outlet. Be aware that the green LED may or may not extinguish when the batteries are fully charged. Your FOXPRO unit incorporates circuitry to terminate charge current if high battery temperatures are detected. Battery temperatures increase at the end of the charge cycle. If the temperature edges towards a dangerous level, the charge current will be interrupted and the green LED will extinguish.
there are some strict electrical limits involved with this jack. If these limits are exceeded, damage to your FURY will result. This damage is not covered by warranty. The electrically inclined will want to know that the jack is connected to the drain of an internal Field Effect Transistor with a maximum current rating of 2 Amperes. The “tip” polarity of the 3.5mm jack is positive, while the sleeve is negative.
5.2 DISABLING INTERNAL SPEAKERS MANUALLY Move the speaker slide switch to the “OFF” position for the desired speaker you wish to disable (front or back). The following image shows that each internal speaker has an independent on/off switch. To re-enable the speaker later, simply place the slide switch back to the “ON” position. By disabling the internal speaker(s) when using an external speaker(s), battery life will be extended longer than having all of the speakers operating at once.

2) Insert the AA batteries into the provided cavities. Note that the battery polarity alternates. 3) Replace the battery compartment cover after the batteries are installed. 6.2 UNDERSTANDING THE MENU SYSTEM Your TX-500 transmitter has a menu-driven configuration system that provides you with a navigable interface for making various operational changes to both the FURY and TX-500. Throughout the scope of this manual you will find many references to the Main Menu.

the rotary selector knob. As you can see, even with hundreds of sounds programmed, you can be set up to be never more than a few revolutions of the rotary sound selector knob away from any sound. Numerical Entry Method: You can also directly access any sound by direct numerical entry on the keypad. For example, if you want to play sound 005, simply press the numbers 0, 0, and 5 sequentially on the keypad. 6.
the TX-500 transmitter. Mute mode is indicated by an “M” appearing in the bottom status line. To un-mute, simply depress the mute button again. The mute feature also serves as a pause function. When you mute the current sound being played and un-mute again, the sound will begin playing at the point where you muted it. While the FURY is muted you can change to a different sound and volume level. When you un-mute the unit, it will begin playing the new sound and volume setting.
example of what the file should look like: V 30 S 12 D 60 V 23 S1 X The above example uses the following syntax to denote instructions for the Fury: Instruction S V D J R ? X Value 0 – 499 0 – 40 1 - 99999 n/a n/a n/a n/a Description Denotes numerical value of sound on unit Denotes numerical value of volume level Denotes delay value in seconds Denotes Jukebox Mode Denotes Repeat Mode Denotes Single Play Mode Denotes end of file The translation of the above example would equate to: Set volume to 30 Play
Playing a Sequence Sequences can be engaged at any time during operation. 1) Press the SEQUENCE button on the TX-500 2) Press a number button on the keypad to play the corresponding sequence from 0 – 9 Play Modes and Sequences A sequence is designed as one complete hunt or stand.

The TX-500 can hold a total of ten individual sound presets, each one having their own unique volume level. You will also find two quick-access buttons (P1 and P2) that provide you one-button access to the sounds stored on presets one and two.
FOXFADE in Stereo Mode When you are operating the Fury in stereo playback mode and playing a stereo audio file, the left audio channel will play through the front horn speaker and the right audio channel will play through the back cone speaker. Let’s say that the sound you are playing is a coyote and rabbit stereo file; coyote on the left channel and rabbit on the right channel.
4) Exit the menu AUTO-V will begin its volume adjustment cycle as soon as you begin playing a sound. Turning AUTO-V Off AUTO-V can be turned off at any point during operation. When AUTO-V is disengaged, the Fury will continue playing the current sound at 65% of the maximum volume to help prevent an erratic volume level change. 1) 2) 3) 4) Hold down the selector knob for 2-3 seconds to access the main menu.
6.12 RECALL The recall button will allow the last previous sound and volume setting to be recalled and played. For example, let’s say you just switched your sound from a rabbit distress at volume 18 to a coyote pup distress. Now, you bring the volume up on that coyote pup distress to volume 29. By depressing the recall button, your sound will switch from the coyote pup distress at volume 29, back to the rabbit distress at volume 18. The recall button will also work with the presets.
