Attaching Remote to Speaker
Attaching the remote to the speaker is designed for storage. Primos does not recommend transporting the remote attached to the speaker in and out of the field without extra attachment security protection, as the remote can be bumped and detach from the speaker.
- Simply align the remote with the cavity on the side of the speaker body. Place the remote in the cavity. The connection is magnetic and will hold the remote in place for storage. The remote also has a built-in belt loop hook.
Field Placement
Place the speaker up to 100 yards of your location. Position the speaker facing away from your location to get maximum range with the sound. Hunting Tip: Keeping the speaker within 50 yards allows for closer shots. Also, place the speaker to the side of your location so the animal is looking to the side of you and not in direct alignment with you.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the speaker is placed at long distances, on the ground, in thick cover, in underbrush, or has obstructions between the remote and speaker, always check remote function with the speaker. If the remote does not operate the speaker, raise the speaker off the ground or decrease the speaker distance.
