Multiple System Setup
When setting up multiple systems, designate a single bodypack to scan for available frequencies and download them to all the
rack units.
The bodypack must be from the same frequency band as all the transmitters.
Power on all the rack units. Turn off the RF. (This prevents them from interfering with the frequency scan.)
Note: Turn on all other wireless or digital devices as they would be during the performance or presentation (so the scan will detect and avoid any in
terferance they generate).
Use the bodypack to scan for a group by pressing and holding the scan button for two seconds.Thebodypackdis
plays the group and the number of available channels, and flashes SYNC NOW....
Important: Note the number of available channels. If you have more rack units than available channels, eliminate potential sources of interference
and try again, or call Shure Applications for assistance.
Sync the bodypack with the first rack unit by aligning the IR windows and pressing sync.
Press scan again on the bodypack to find the next available frequency.
Sync the bodypack with the next rack unit.
Repeat with all the rack units.
Sync each performer's bodypack to its respective rack unit by aligning the IR windows and pressing snyc. DO NOT
press scan on the bodypacks.
Turn on the RF on all rack units. The systems are ready to use.
CueMode
CueMode allows you to upload the name and frequency settings from multiple rack units and store them as a list on a single
bodypack. You can then, at any time, scroll through that list to hear the audio mix from each transmitter, just as each performer
does during a show.
CueMode lists are retained even if CueMode is exited, the bodypack is turned off, or batteries are removed.
Note: Set the channel frequency and assign display names for each transmitter before creating your CueMode list.
Adding Transmitters to the CueMode List
Note: The transmitter must be from the same frequency band as the bodypack.
Open the battery door and press the enter button.
From the main menu, scroll to UTILITIES and press enter. Select CueMode and press enter again.
Align IR windows and press sync on the rack unit.
The LCD displays SYNC SUCCESS after frequency and name data are uploaded to the CueMode list. It also displays
the CueMode number for that transmitter and the total number of transmitters.
Repeat the above step for each transmitter.
Note: Syncing while in CueMode does not change any of the settings on the bodypack.

DELETE ALL
Removes all mixes.
EXIT CUEMODE
Exits CueMode and returns the bodypack to the previous frequency setting.
Frequency Scan
Use a frequency scan to analyze the RF environment for interference and identify available frequencies. There are three types
of scan:
Channel Scan Press the scan button on the bodypack. Finds the first available channel.
Group ScanPressandholdthescanbuttonfortwoseconds.Findsthegroupwiththegreatestnumberofavailablechan
nels.(Eachgroupcontainsasetoffrequenciesthatarecompatiblewhenoperatingmultiplesystemsinthesameenviron
ment.)
Full Scan From the bodypack menu select RADIO > FULL SCAN. Press RUN SCAN to initiate a full scan. Press SPEC
TRUM to view full results in a graphical display.
Note: When performing a frequency scan:
Turn offtheRFonthetransmittersforthesystemsyouaresettingup.(Thispreventsthemfrominterferingwiththefre
quency scan.)
Turn on potential sources of interference such as other wireless systems or devices, computers, CD players, large LED
panels, effects processors, and digital rack equipment so they are operating as they would be during the presentation or
performance (so the scan will detect and avoid any interference they generate).

To use MixMode, send a solo mix of the performer to the L/CH1 input on the transmitter, and send a band mix to the R/CH2in

Set the performer's bodypack for MixMode. The bodypack combines the two signals and sends them to both earphones, while
the balance control on the bodypack adjusts the relative levels for each.
For IFB applications, send two independent program feeds into the L/CH1 and R/CH2 input of the transmitter. With MixMode,

LOOP Applications
Use LOOP OUTL(left)andR(right)outputstosendacopyoftheaudiosignalgoingintothetransmittertootherdevices.Fol
lowing are a few of the many applications for these outputs.
Note: The input level control and the input pad do not affect the LOOP OUT signals.
MixMode for Multiple Systems
Configure each system for MixMode. From the mixing console, send a mix of the whole band to input 2 of the first transmitter.
Connect the LOOP OUT R output to the R/CH2 input of the next transmitter. Continue the chain with all the transmitters.
Next, create solo mixes for each performer. Send each mix to input 1 of the transmitter for that performer.
Floor Monitors
Send the audio from the LOOP outputs to onstage loudspeakers. The bodypack and the onstage monitors receive the same
audio signals.
Note: The LOOP audio outputs will not drive passive loudpeakers, and must be sent to a power amplifier or an active loudspeaker.
Recording Devices
To record a performance, connect the LOOP outputs to the inputs of a recording device.
Squelch
Squelch mutes audio output from the bodypack when the RF signal become noisy. While squelch is activated, the blue LED on
the bodypack turns off.
For most installations, squelch does not need adjustment, and it keeps the performer from hearing hiss or noise bursts if the
RF signal becomes compromised. However, in congested RF environments or in close proximity to sources of RF interference
(such as large LED video panels), the squelch may need to be lowered to prevent excessive audio dropouts. With lower
squelch settings, the performer may hear more noise or hiss, but will experience fewer audio dropouts.
Important: Before lowering squelch, first try to eliminate the problem by finding the best set of frequencies for your installation and removing potential sources
of interference.
Caution: Turning off or lowering the squelch setting can increase the noise level and cause discomfort to the performer:
Do not lower the squelch setting unless absolutely necessary.
Turn earphone volume to the lowest setting before adjusting squelch.
Do not change the squelch setting during a performance.
Turn up the transmitter level setting to make noise or hiss less noticeable.

Squelch Settings
HIGH (NORMAL) Default factory setting.
MID Moderately decreases the signal-to-noise ratio required to squelch the receiver.
LOW Greatly decreases the noise squelch threshold.
PILOT ONLY* Turns off noise squelch leaving only pilot squelch on.
NO SQUELCH* Turns off noise and pilot tone squelch. (Sometimes used as a debugging tool by
monitor engineers or RF coordinators to "listen" to the RF environment.)

Point-to-Point Wireless Audio
Use PTP mode to allow a P10T to transmit to a UHF-R receiver. This allows a transmitter and receiver setup where both units
are racked and powered by AC.

Ethernet Connection
Each transmitter has an RJ-45 port on the back for connecting to other transmitters over an Ethernet network. Networking
transmitters allows you to automatically set frequencies for all the transmitters with a single group scan command.
Add transmitters to a network using the default automatic network setting (Util > Network > Mode > Automatic):
Connect transmitters to an Ethernet router with DHCP service.
Use Ethernet switches to extend the network for larger installations.
Connect transmitters in series.
