1.  The power source for the Decoy Heart™ is one AA battery.  Unscrew the two halves of the Decoy Heart™ to expose the inner battery compartment.  Slide the battery compartment cover to the outside   (never to the inside)  and drop in the battery.  Return battery cover to its original position.  Screw the two halves of the Decoy Heart™ back together.

2.  Push down the switch control while turning clockwise to lock the switch in the "off" position.  Counter clockwise = The "Run" Position. 3.  The most common problem is inactivity.  Sometimes the motor may be hesitant to start.  A simple Thump or Tap on the battery housing will restart the motor.

1.  Cut flap on the back of any model decoy, large enough to fit the Decoy Heart™ inside.  2.  Take a piece of 2" Foam Rubber  - Size 5" x  5".  Cut hole in center slightly smaller than the Decoy Heart™ to grip the Heart.  Place Heart in foam block with switch up.  Place in breast of Decoy and turn to on position.  Foam block may need trimming for various decoys.

1.  Find feeding position of decoy by repositioning holding stake towards rear of decoy.

2. Once the desired position of holding stake is located, put 2 or 3 pieces of duct tape over the new position on decoy and punch small hole  (smaller than the diameter of the holding stake)  through the decoy.  Place a large rubber band on holding stake to act as a stop.  This will hold the decoy in the feeding position.

3.  Take a piece of 2" Foam Rubber  -  Size 5"  x  5".  Cut hole in center slightly smaller than Decoy Heart™ to grip the Heart.  Place Heart in foam block with switch up.  Place in breast of decoy and turn to on position.  Foam block may need trimming for various decoys.

Keep in mind that longer battery life is attained by keeping the switch "VERTICAL" in all applications.  In cold weather, the "Heart" needs to be warm when started for maximum performance.  The rubber band  (gasket)  is Not necessary for any decoy application.  Discard it or use it as a stop on Turkey Stakes.  A squirt of oil on the switch  (from the inside)  will help performance.  Apply every 10 to 15 hours of usage.  A drop on the threads occasionally will make the opening and closing process easier.  Apply as needed to threads.  (Breakfree CLP is preferred lubricant.)  Use of the "Heart" for decoys is limited only by your imagination.  If you come up with an unusual application, let us know.  We will be most appreciative.
