PitchCom SystemManual

Welcome to the PitchComSystem-the world’s best and most secure baseball communication

system.

The PitchCom System consists of two components-a transmitter (also, the “PitchRemote”) and

a receiver (also, the “PitchCap”). The type of pitch and its location are securely transmitted to

the pitcher wearing the receiver, who will hear audio tracks reciting the selected pitch and pitch

location (e.g. “fastball low inside).

USING THE PITCHCOM SYSTEM-Basic Component Functions

Receiver

The receiver is shown in Figure 1. There is an on/volume up button; and off/volume down

button; a speaker opening; a micro USB port; and a red LED (not shown) that lights while the

receiver is charging.

The on/off buttons turn the receiver on

and can easily be felt and pressed. The

on button will be closer to the front of

the head, the off button will be closer

to the back of the head. A short press

and release of the on button will turn

the receiver on (you will hear “System

On”), and a long (3 second) press and

hold of the off button will turn the

receiver off (“System Off”).

The same buttons adjust the volume up and down in steps to a comfortable level for the

pitcher and fielders. To increase the volume one level, press the on/volume up button once.

You will hear the new volume level announced (e.g., “Volume 6”). Depending on the crowd

noise conditions, the volume should be increased or decreased accordingly so that the wearer

can hear easily, but not a nearby competitor.

As will be explained later, depending on the transmitter mode, the audio tracks will play the

type of pitch selected and the pitch location, or just the pitch itself. One of the tracks will also

play “cancel” if the catcher cancels the pitch called.

PitchCom SystemManual Welcome to the PitchComSystem-the world’s best and most secure baseball communication system. The PitchCom System consists of two components-a transmitter (also, the “PitchRemote”) and a receiver (also, the “PitchCap”).

Transmitter The transmitter is shown by itself in Figure 2. The transmitter does not have an on/off switch, and is always ready to transmit. There are 9 pitch/location buttons, a cancel button, and two catcher volume adjustment buttons. Also, the transmitter has a micro USB port through which the transmitter is charged and can receive firmware upgrades, an antenna wire, and a status LED above the cancel button. A white LED is also provided, whose function will be described below.
PAGE 3
For pitchers that only want to hear the pitch selection, and not the location, a separate transmitter mode can be used that will send a pitch selection after only one button is pushed. No location is given in this mode. Changing transmitter modes is easy to do and can be done during the game by the catcher. The transmitter has volume up and volume down buttons which control the volume of the catcher’sreceiver, since the catcher won’t be able to easily control the volume through the cap.

PitchCom Transmitter Mode Instructions The PitchCom transmitter can be placed into three different modes. A first mode in which the pitch type and pitch location are selected, a second mode in which only the pitch type is selected, and a third mode in which running game signals are called instead of pitches. In the first mode, two button pushes are required, the first selecting the pitch type and the second selecting the pitch location. In the second mode, only one button is pushed to select the pitch type.

units are used. Any micro USB plug and standard wall transformer can be used to charge the receivers. The catcher transmitter is charged through the micro USB port that is accessible through a hole in the rubber molding on the catcher wristband.
