Fox pro problems

[blueeyes]

Update on the caller, I have 3 callers here, 2x spitfire and 1 x wildfire and none of them are sending calls to the caller, all remotes are showing working on the display but for some reason nothing is coming from caller, I'm starting to wonder if the SD card may be blank but I can't read it on the laptop, any ideas folks?

Spitfire Will Not Play Sounds
If a FOXPRO Spitfire is turned on but not playing sounds, there are a few things that we can investigate.

Loose Memory Card - If the memory card has worked loose, the Spitfire will turn on and allow you to go through the operational motions, but you will be unable to hear any sounds. To check this, remove the back panel off of the Spitfire. Inside to the right a circuit board with a memory card on the back. The card is located in a push/pull socket. Using a finger, reach in and push on the card a single time. Normally, the card should click and come loose. If the card clicks and locks into position, the card was loose from the socket, therefore not making a connection. With the card back into place, try operations again. If the card was not loose, continue reading.

Speaker Malfunction - If the speaker is not functioning, this could also result in the Spitfire not playing sounds. An easy way to check the speaker is to start with the unit turned off. Make sure that the speaker slide switch is to the right or "on" position. Turn on the Spitfire and listen; do you hear a slight pop when power is applied? If so, this indicates that the speaker is powering up. If nothing is heard, there is a good chance that the speaker may have gone out. This would require factory service.

Bad Memory Card - If the memory card was not loose and the speaker appears to be firing up, the next possibility is that the memory card itself may be bad. The best way to test this would be to try connecting the memory card to a PC. Some PC's may have the appropriate micro SD card slots built in, while others do not. For those without the integrated slots, you will need to source a micro SD card adapter to do this test.

Once the memory card is attached to a PC, you should be able to access it. Windows users will need to go to their "Computer" or "My Computer" icon to view all available drives. Mac users should see an icon appear on their desktop. If the card is working properly, you should an icon that says "SP1" followed by your serial number. By opening this icon, you should be able to view all of the sound files inside of the card. If you try to open the card and are unable to view the sound files or it gives an error such as "device not formatted", "device not ready", "insert disk" or anything similar, the card is bad and will need to be replaced.
