ATTACHING REMOTE TO SPEAKER
Attaching remote to speaker is designed for storage. Primos does not recommend transporting remote attached to speaker in and out of the field without extra attachment security protection as remote can be bumped and detach from speaker.
Simply align remote with cavity on side of speaker body. Place remote in the cavity. The connection is magnetic and will hold the remote in place for storage. Remote also has built in belt loop hook.

FIELD PLACEMENT
Place speaker up to 100 yards of your location. Position speaker facing away from your location in order to get maximum range with the sound. Hunting Tip: Keeping speaker within 50 yards allows for closer shots. Also place speaker to side of your location so animal is looking to the side of you and not in direct alignment with you.
IMPORTANT NOTE : If speaker is placed at long distances, on the ground, in thick cover, in underbrush, or has obstructions between remote and speaker always check remote function with speaker. If remote does not operate speaker, raise speaker off ground or decrease speaker distance.
