FP3 FP1 Single System Setup 1. Perform a group scan:

Press and hold the scan button for 3 seconds. After the scan com-

pletes, the new group and channel is automatically activated and saved. 2. Synchronize the transmitter:

Align the transmitter and receiver infrared (IR) ports and press the sync button. After a successful sync, the transmitter LED momentarily flashes and the blue RF LED illuminates. Manual Group and Channel Selection

(receiver only) Important: Most single-system applications do not require manual group or channel settings--use an automatic frequency scan instead. However, it may be useful for some applications, such as to tune to and record au-

dio directly from a microphone in a compatible wireless installation. To set the group:

1. Press the scan and sync buttons simultaneously. The GROUP display flashes. 2. Press the sync button to change the group number. 3. Press scan to accept the selected group. 4. Press scan again to save and exit. 5. If desired, perform a channel scan to select an open channel in that group. To set the channel:

1. Press the scan and sync buttons simultaneously. The GROUP display flashes. 2. Press scan to move to the channel setting. The CHANNEL number flashes. 3. Press the sync button to advance to the desired channel number. 4. Press scan to save and exit. Note: Remember to sync the transmitter to the receiver. FP2 The handheld transmitter normally does not require adjustment and should be left at 0dB for most appli-

cations. Only use the 10dB setting for loud singing or other high SPL applica-

tions if there is noticable distortion. PGXD Access the gain adjustment switch by unscrewing the head of the microphone. Use the tip of a pen or a small screwdriver to move the switch:

10dB: Use only if audio distorts due to high SPL levels. FP2 0dB: For normal use. BIAS AUDIO 0dB

-10dB AUDIO 0dB

-10dB Multiple System Setup Use the following steps to ensure the best performance when using mul-

tiple wireless systems at the same location. 1. Turn all receivers on and all transmitters off. Note: Turn on any other digital equipment that could cause interfer-

ence during the performance so it will be detected during the frequen-

cy scans in the following steps. 2. Perform a group scan using the first receiver by pressing and holding the scan button for 3 seconds. 3. Turn on the first transmitter and sync it to the receiver. For each additional system:

1. Manually set the group number to match the first receiver (see Manual Group and Channel Selection). 2. Perform a channel scan by pressing the scan button. 3. Sync the transmitter to the receiver. Important: After syncing each transmitter, leave it on so that scans from the other receivers do not select that channel. Be sure only one transmit-

ter IR port is exposed when synchronizing each system. Automatic Frequency Scan If you experience RF interference, switch to a new channel using the channel or group scan. Channel scan: Press the scan button on the receiver. Switches to new channel in the same group. Group scan: Press and hold the scan button for 3 seconds. Finds a new group and selects an open channel in that group. (Do not use in multiple system setups unless all systems are moved to the same group.) Locking and Unlocking the Transmitter Locking the transmitter prevents accidental changes during performances. To lock the controls: With the transmitter off, hold the power button down until the green LED flashes (~5 seconds) To unlock the controls: With the transmitter on, hold the power button down until the green LED flashes (~5 seconds) 4 Troubleshooting Issue No sound or faint sound Indicator Status Transmitter power light on, receiver blue RF LED off Transmitter power light on, receiver blue RF LED on Receiver power LED off, red, or blinking red Transmitter power LED red or flashing red Transmitter power LED off Distortion or unwanted noise bursts N/A Distortion increases gradually Cannot turn transmitter or receiver on Transmitter or receiver power LED red Power LED flashing red Solution Sync the transmitter to the receiver Move closer to and maintain line-of-sight with the transmitter. Move away from metal surfaces and digital equipment. Verify all sound system connections Adjust gain settings on the transmitter and receiver. Make sure the handheld transmitter gain is at the 0dB setting. Insert fresh batteries or power on the receiver Replace transmitter batteries If indicator continues flashing red after batteries are replaced, the transmitter and receiver may belong to incompatible frequency bands. Contact your Shure reseller for assistance. Turn on transmitter Make sure the +/- indicators on batteries match the transmitter terminals Insert fresh batteries Remove nearby sources of RF interference (CD players, computers, digital effects, in-ear monitor systems, etc.) Change receiver and transmitter to a different frequency Reduce transmitter gain Replace transmitter batteries If using multiple systems, change the frequency of one of the active systems Replace batteries Replace batteries Tips for Improving System Performance Maintain a line-of-sight between transmitter and receiver Avoid proximity to metal surfaces and digital equipment that could cause RF interference, such as computers, LCD screens, and other audio electronics.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particu-

lar installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 7 8
