in minutes. Formore detailed instructions,read the section of this manual
that applies to your system.
RECEIVER SETUP
1. Plug the ac power adapter into a wall socket or other electrical outlet.
2. Connect the power cable to the receiverDC INPUT connector. The green POWER
light on the receiver will come on.
3. If you are using the Guitarist, connect the receiver output to a guitar amplifier
usinganystandardguitarcable(twosupplied).IfyouareusingtheVocal Artist
or Presenter, connect the receiver output to an audio mixer using an audio
cable.
4. Fullyextendthetelescopingantenna(s)asfarastheywillgo.Theantennaonthe
T3 receiver should be vertical. The antennas on the T4 diversity receiver should
point away from each other at a 45°angle from vertical.
TRANSMITTER SETUP
1. Openthetransmitter battery compartment and install a 9V alkaline battery (one sup-
plied). Make sure the “+” and “–” battery terminals match the “+” and “–” terminals
on the transmitter.
2. If you are using the Guitarist, plug any standard guitar cable (two supplied) into
yourguitar outputconnector andinto thetransmitter. Then turn the volume con-
trol on your guitar pickup all the way up. If you are using the Vocal Artist or Pre-
senter, no further transmitter setup is required.
OPERATING THE SYSTEM
1. Slide the transmitter POWER switch to the ON position. The green POWER lighton
the transmitter will glow, as will the yellow RF light (T3 receiver) or the DIVERSITY
A/B lights (T4 receiver).
2. Slide the transmitter MUTE/ON switch (on the T1 Guitarist or Presenter) or the
MIC ON/OFF switch (on the T2 Vocal Artist) to the ON position.
3. Play your guitar, ortalk or sing into the microphone. The red PEAKlight (T3 receiver)
or the AUDIO PEAK light (T4 receiver) should flicker when loud sounds are trans-
mitted. If the red PEAK or AUDIO PEAK lights do not flicker when loud sounds are
transmitted, the transmitter gain may need to be increased. Refer to the
Transmitter
Audio Gain Adjustment
procedure for your system. NOTE: This step is particularly
important for the Guitarist system, since guitar outputs can vary widely.
4. Adjust the receiver VOLUME control until the receiver output level matches the
levelofyourguitarormicrophonethroughacable.Thefactorysettingisinthefull
clockwise position.
YOU ARE NOW READY TO PERFORM!
IMPORTANT: Every wireless performance is a unique situation, and can present a
variety of problems. Never attempt a performance without first conducting a “walk-
through” test on the wireless system in the performing area.
If you encounter a
problem, refer to the Troubleshootingtable.

TRANSMITTER AUDIO GAIN ADJUSTMENT
The audiogain control ontheT1G Transmitterisfactory-presetattheminimumset-
ting(fullcounterclockwise)toreducetheriskofoverloadand resultingdistortionand/
or clipping. If the red PEAK light on the receiver
does not flicker when the guitar is
playedloudly,youshouldadjustthetransmitter gainlevelsothatitmatchestheout-
putlevelofyourguitarorbass.Thiswill ensurethebestpossiblesignal-to-noiseratio
during performance. Refer to Figure 12.
The gain control on the T1, T11 and T2 transmitters has been factory preset at the mid-
range positionfor bestperformance inmost applications.However, forsingers or talkers
with soft, quiet voices, thepreset gainlevel may be toolow andthe audiogain mayneed
to be increased for best signal-to-noise ratio. This condition is indicated by the failure of
the receiver PEAK light to flicker when you speak in your normal voice.
For loud singers or talkers,the presetgain levelmay be toohigh, causingunwanted
distortion.ThisconditionisindicatedbythecontinuousglowoftheredPEAKlighton
the receiver when you sing or speak in a loud voice.

• ToIncreaseGain: Rotatethetransmittergaincontrolclockwisewiththesupplied
screwdriver until the red PEAK light on the receiver flickers when the guitar is
played loudly, or when you sing or speak in a loud voice..

• To Reduce Gain: Rotate the transmitter gain control counterclockwise with the sup-
plied screwdriver while you sing or speak in your normal voice. Continue rotating
the gain control until the red PEAK light on the receiver only flickers when you
sing or speak in a loud voice.
• To Return Audio Gain to the FactorySetting: Rotate the transmitter audio gain
control counterclockwise as far as it will go (T1G) or the mid position (T1, T2).
RECEIVER VOLUME ADJUSTMENT
The volume control on the front panel of the T3 and T4 receivers can be adjusted to
make the wireless system output identical to that of a cabled guitar or bass, or of a
conventional wired microphone. Adjust the receiver volume control until the
output reaches the desired level. Rotate the volume control clockwise to
increase
output. Rotate it counterclockwise to decrease output.
TIPS FOR ACHIEVING MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE
• Makesureyoucanalwaysseeareceiverantennafromthetransmitter position.
• Keep the distance between the transmitter and the receiver antennas short.
• Extend the transmitter and receiver antennas vertically as far as possible. For
bestperformance,theT3receiverantennatipshouldbevertical;theT4receiver
antennas should be pointed away from each other at a 45
° anglefromvertical.
• Avoid placing the receiver antennas near metal surfaces and obstructions,
since they will seriously reduce system performance.
• To mount the receiver on a flat surface, attach the four adhesive rubber feet or
the cloth fastening strips to the bottom of the receiver.
RECEIVER SQUELCH ADJUSTMENT
The squelch control on the T3 and T4 receivers is factory preset for optimum
performance.Nofurtheradjustmentisnormallyrequired.Itis possibletoadjust
the Squelch control setting to emphasize either signal quality or system range. Ad-
justing the Squelch control will produce the following results:
• Turning the squelch control clockwise causes the receiver to demand a higher
quality signal (less noise before muting), but
decreases operating range.
• Turning the squelch control counterclockwise allows a lower quality signal
through (more noise before muting), but increases operating range.
Toreturnthereceiversquelchcontroltothefactorysetting,rotateittothe mid-range
position (so the slot is vertical).
HOW THE SHURE NOISE SQUELCH IMPROVES SYSTEM
PERFORMANCE
Conventional squelch circuits work on the basis ofreceived RF(radio frequency)signal
strength.However,such circuitscannotdiscriminatebetween noise and desiredsignals.
When the wireless system is used in an environment where lots of RF noise is present,
conventional squelch circuits can “open” unexpectedly, sending loud bursts of noise
through the receiver when the transmitter signal is weak or turned off.
Unlike conventionalwireless systems, all Shure T-Series systems use a noise squelch
circuitthatanalyzes
signalquality instead of signal strength. A special detectormonitors
thelevel of high frequency noise. Whenthe transmitter signal is strong,the noise levelis
lowandthereceiversendsaudiothrough.Whenthetransmittersignalisweakorabsent,
the noise levelis high and the squelch circuitmutesthe receiver.This virtuallyeliminates
the possibility of annoying bursts of noise coming through your receiver.
