DO NOT install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including ampli ers) that produce heat. DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. If the provided plug does not t into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. [. . . ] · Turn off all bodypack or handheld transmitters for the systems you are setting up. Single Receiver · Turn on potential sources of interference such as other wireless systems or devices, computers, CD players, effects processors, and digital rack equipment so they are operating as they would be during the presentation or performance. Select Radio > Scan > Chan Scan using the Navigate keys on the receiver LCD interface. Sync the transmitter (see page 14). Networked or Dual Receivers With networked or dual receivers, you can take advantage of the group scan feature to set group and channel settings for all the receivers at the same time. (See page 10 for instructions on networking. ) Perform a group scan from any receiver. . . Select Radio > Scan> Group Scan using the Navigate keys on the receiver LCD interface. The display indicates that the receiver is searching (Scan In Progress). Once it has finished, it displays the group with the most open channels. Press the flashing ENTER button to set all receivers to open channels in that group. NOTE: The group scan feature only works for receivers in the same frequency band. For example, if you did a group scan on a "H4" band receiver, all "H4" band receivers would be set up, but not "J5" band receivers. Multiple Receivers--Not Networked If your receivers are not networked (or in different bands), the group scan cannot automatically set their group and channel settings. However, you can still take advantage of the group scan feature to find the group with the most open channels and the channel scan feature to find open channels in that group. Perform a group scan using the steps for a networked receiver (above). However, make a note of the selected group before pressing the flashing ENTER button to accept it. Perform a channel scan on the remaining receivers using the steps for a single receiver (above). Make sure to select the same group for each receiver before performing the channel scan. IMPORTANT: After setting the channel for the first receiver, immediately sync the transmitter for that receiver and leave it on so that the next receiver detects that channel during its channel scan. NOTE: Receivers in different bands (H4, J5, L3, etc. ) do not need to be set to the same group. 9 Networking Receivers Basic Network Connect receivers to an Ethernet router with DHCP service. Use the receiver's default network setting (Util > Network > Mode = DHCP). Router with DHCP Shure UHF-R Wireless Computer (optional) Accessing the Network with a Computer If you want to use the Wireless Workbench software, connect your computer to the network and install the software from the CD that came with the receiver. Make sure your computer is configured for DHCP (from Control Panel, click Network Connections. Select Obtain IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically and click OK). NOTE: Some security software or firewall settings on your computer can prevent you from connecting to the receivers. If using firewall software, allow connections on port 2201. Router with DHCP Computer (optional) Switch Using USB. . . Connect the computer to the USB port on any of the receivers to access the whole network. Ethernet USB Switch Static IP Addressing The receiver also supports static IP addressing. See "Network Parameters" on page 8. NOTE: Dual receivers use a single IP address, which may be set through either LCD interface. Existing UHF Network Installations Both Shure's UHF-R receivers and legacy UHF receivers can be networked to the same PC and accessed using the latest Wireless Workbench software.

[. . . ] The transmitters shall have a DC/DC converter to ensure consistent performance, even if battery voltages change. The receiver shall have a user-programmable, menu-driven LCD showing group, channel, frequency, name, squelch level, and locked/ unlocked status. The system shall use technology such as MARCAD, signal combining circuitry to improve reception, minimize signal dropouts, and achieve the best possible signal-to-noise ratio. An equalizer, tone key squelch, and noise squelch circuitry shall be built into the system to provide optimal sound quality and minimize unwanted noise. The receiver shall include dual RF meters (one for each antenna), an audio level meter, and a Networking Interface connector for computer control and monitoring. [. . . ]
