Product Usage Instructions

Fitting the Batteries

Turn off the unit prior to fitting or replacing batteries.
Using the supplied screwdriver, unscrew the two battery cover screws.
Pinch either side of the battery cover to grip and pull the cover away from the case.
Take care removing the batteries. Insert new batteries and ensure correct polarity.
For best weatherproofing, ensure battery cover has a good seal by seating it in place applying firm pressure.
Re-fit cover and screws.

Note: The RX+ Micron requires 2 x LR6 AA 1.5V Alkaline batteries. The use of good quality batteries is essential for maximum battery life. To reduce the risk of battery leakage, do not mix old and new batteries or different battery types. The use of rechargeable batteries is not recommended. If the RX+ Micron will not be used for a long period, please ensure the batteries are removed. Do not over tighten the battery compartment screws, excessive force will damage the screw threads.

Switching On / Off

The RX+ Micron has two modes:

OFF
ON and DAY mode is selected. In this mode, you can choose from 3 pre-set LED brightness levels (see Vari-Bright adjustable brightness function on the following page)

The unit does not beep when switched on or off. The RX+ Micron comes with a hard case cover. Please ensure the unit is switched off before attempting to fit the hardcase. Do not use excessive force when fitting the hardcase as this may result in damage to the alarm.
Multi Colour LEDs with Colour SyncTM
This allows the choice of six colors (Red, Green, Blue, Orange, Purple & White) to be selected with the push of a button. The button is located on the left side of the battery cover when looking at the back of the alarm and has this symbol on it:
Vari-Bright adjustable brightness function
This allows the choice of 3 LED brightness settings in DAY mode and 3 different brightness settings in NIGHT mode, with the push of a button. The button is located on the right side of the battery cover when looking at the back of the alarm and has this symbol on it:
Your choice will remain stored in the memory of the RX+ Micron even when the batteries have been removed. This selection will govern the color in both Day Mode and Night Mode so any color change in one setting will change the other. The RX+ Micron automatically synchronizes the color selections with the RX+ Receiver.
When the RX+ Micron is switched on, the LEDs will illuminate, cycle through their colors and stay on the selected color for 10 seconds. When the RX+ Micron is triggered, the LEDs will illuminate in your chosen color and stay on or flash (depending on the direction of line movement) for 10 seconds from the last movement of the roller wheel.

Low Battery Warning

When the RX+ Micron batteries are low the twin multi-colour LEDs will automatically change to the colour cyan (green-blue). They will remain this colour until new batteries are inserted into the alarm.
Once new batteries have been placed into the RX+ Micron the LED colour will automatically revert back to your last chosen colour.
No audible low battery warning is given by the RX+ Micron.

Controls

Volume Control
Turn the dial clockwise to increase volume, anti-clockwise to lower volume. There are eight different volume settings available.
The lowest setting is completely silent.

Tone Control

Turn the dial clockwise to raise pitch, anti-clockwise to lower pitch. There are eight different tone settings available.

Sensitivity Control

Intelligent Sensitivity Control (With See-Saw Elimination)
Turn the dial clockwise to increase the sensitivity and anti-clockwise to reduce the sensitivity.
There are eight different sensitivity settings available. In all sensitivity settings (except maximum), the line must travel the specified distance in the same direction and within 2 seconds in order to trigger the unit. Any movement in the opposite direction will reset the distance counter to zero. This can substantially reduce, or eliminate false triggering caused by wind and water movement.

Sensitivity Table

Setting 1 = 90mm (Min)
Setting 2 = 73mm
Setting 3 = 56mm
Setting 4 = 34mm
Setting 5 = 17mm
Setting 6 = 11mm
Setting 7 = 5.6mm
Setting 8 = 2.8mm (Max)
Radio Compatibility (Ultra-Long Range™) The RX+ Micron contains an advanced transmitter device, capable of long distances, this is only compatible with the Fox RX+ Receiver.
Up to eight RX+ Microns can be used at one time with the RX+ Receiver. Please visit our website or consult the RX+ Receiver manual for further information.
WORKS EXCLUSIVELY WITH THE RX+ RECEIVER NOT COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING FOX RECEIVERS OR EXTENSION BOXES.

Range Test

To activate the range test feature – starting with the alarm switched ON, turn it OFF and then ON again within 1 second. The RX+ Micron will then start to transmit a test signal at intervals of approximately one second, which will be heard on the RX+ Receiver. The RX+ Micron will signify this by flashing both LEDs approximately once a second. The user can then walk away with the receiver, to their desired location, to check that the test signal can still be heard.
NOTE: The RX+ Micron itself will remain silent whilst in test mode – beeps are heard from the receiver only.
If using more than one bite alarm, select range test mode on ONE unit only. If more than one unit is placed in test mode, then the test signals will either be received intermittently, or not received at all. All the bite alarms will have a similar transmission range in use, provided they have good batteries.

The test signal will continue until one of the following occurs:

A) Test mode auto-cancels. This will occur approximately five minutes after selecting test mode.
B) The unit is triggered by line movement. If this occurs, then the unit will revert to normal mode.
C) The user switches the unit off. This also cancels test mode and the unit will re-start in normal mode when switched back on. Sensitivity control setting also applies in test mode the same amount of line movement is required to bring the unit out of test mode, as would normally be required to make it “beep” in normal mode. Once the unit has exited test mode, it reverts fully to nor mal operation, unless test mode is initiated again by the user.

Warnings

DO NOT trigger LED or speaker in close proximity to human or animal eyes and ears.
Store this equipment out of reach of children and infants.
Avoid dropping or subjecting the Micron to severe impacts.
Use only recommended batteries and accessories.

Drying Out After Use in Heavy Rain

The RX+ Micron has been designed to be weatherproof. However, after use in heavy rain, it is important to allow the unit to dry out properly by bringing the unit indoors and removing the hard case cover.
NEVER place batteries in a hot environment (e.g. on a radiator).

Compression Washers

The RX+ Micron is supplied with 2 styles of compression washer. A conventional rubber O ring and a 2 piece rigid design.
The 2 piece rigid design has the ability to offer 4 different thicknesses depending on the how they are pushed together.
To use this washer start with the washer in its thinnest configuration. Snap the halves together as per image (A). Place this on the thread of the alarm and attach the alarm to your chosen mount. If the thread tightens at the wrong angle reverse these steps and rotate the top half of the washer anticlockwise aproximately12° (image B) and snap together. The washer should now resemble image (C). If the alarm still does not tighten to the desired angle there are 2 more follow step 2 and retry the washer in the 3rd height (image D) and finally the 4th height (image E) should the 3rd height not be correct.
