Installing / Replacing Battery
Refer to the HotWire Fox and Hound Control Locations drawing. To install or replace the 9 volt battery in
the HotWire Hound, remove the Battery Cover (I) by pressing the release tab towards the nose end of the
case. Remove the Battery Connector (G) and the Battery Strap (H). Snap the Connector to a 9 volt bat-
tery (J) and slide the Strap over the battery. Position the Strap so that the finger tab is on the side of the
battery. Making sure foam block is against the back of the speaker, insert battery into the HotWire Hound
case, placing the bottom of the battery against the foam, and compressing the foam while completing the
battery insertion. The battery wires should be behind the battery and positioned to allow battery to be fully
inserted. The finger tab on the Strap should be sticking out of the Battery Compartment. This tab is used
to remove the battery. Fold the tab over, and secure the Battery Cover to the case by inserting the end near
the Earphone Jack (F) first, and snapping the opposite end of the Cover to the case.
To install or replace the 9 volt battery in the HotWire Fox, remove the Battery Cover (10) by inserting a
fingernail or small screwdriver into the slot below the bottom magnet. The Cover will snap loose. Remove
the Cover completely by sliding it straight down. If a battery is already installed, the Cover may be a little
difficult to remove because the battery is pushing against the cover. Snap the Battery Connector (11) onto
a fresh 9V battery. Install the battery into the battery cavity taking care to position the battery wires so they
do not interfere with inserting the battery and replacing the Battery Cover.
HotWire Fox Battery Test
Press the UNLOCK button and set the Function switch to the TRACER TONE position. The green BATTERY
TEST/CADENCE LED must flash. If the BATTERY TEST/CADENCE LED does not flash, the battery should be
replaced. If the Pilot Tone feature is activated (by a jumper inside the product), the tracing signal, a pulsing
or warbling sound, may be heard.
9: Getting Started
WARNING:
Never use the HotWire Fox with its battery cover removed. Do not
remove the battery cover if the HotWire Fox is connected to any wires.
The wires may be ‘live’ which causes the battery to be ‘live’.
Failure to heed this warning may result in user injury.
