SHURE PGX WIRELESS6Single System SetupIn any wireless setup, each transmitter and receiver pair must be tuned to the same frequency, or channel. The PGX wireless system uses automatic transmitter setup to synchronize the transmitter and receiver channels.Note: transmitting devices such as cellular phones and two-way radios, and digital devices such as CD players and effects processors, may interfere with wireless audio transmissions. Keep your PGX transmitters and receivers away from these and other potential sources of interference.Single System Setup1. Automatic Frequency SelectionPress and release the channel button. This scans for a clear channel and sets the receiver to that channel.2. Automatic Transmitter SetupTurn On the transmitter.Open the transmitter battery compartment to display the infrared (IR) port (see pages 4 and 5).With the transmitter IR port exposed to the receiver, press sync.Hold the sync button until the red light stops flashing on both receiver and transmitter.When the receiver ready light glows, the system is ready for use. Close the transmitter battery compartment.channelLED screen displayscurrent channelpress channel button to scan for a clear channelsystem scans forclearest availablechannelsyncreadyaudio channel select< 15 cm (8 in.)orsync
ENGLISH7Multiple System SetupSee the included frequency and channel guide for information on compatible channels.Multiple system setups require the use of groups and channels. In the LED panel, the left digit indicates the current group; the right digit indi-cates the current channel.Follow these steps when using multiple PGX systems in a single installation:1. Turn all receivers on and all transmitters off.2. Make sure the group number is the same for all receivers. If nec-essary, use Manual Frequency Selection (shown below) to set all receivers to a single group.3. Perform Automatic Frequency Selection on the first receiver (see page 6).4. Turn on the first transmitter.5. Perform Automatic Transmitter Setup (see page 6).Leave the transmitter turned on. Repeat for each system.Be sure that only one transmitter’s IR port is exposed when synchronizing a system.Manual Frequency Selection (receiver only)To manually select a group or a channel, press and hold the channel button. The display alternates between the group number and the channel number.Releasing the channel button while either number is displayed makes the displayed number flash.Pressing the channel button while either number is flashing increases the setting by one.To activate a newly selected group or channel, simply wait until the number stops flashing.left digit is group right digit is channelhold channelbutton...then press the channel button to increase the value.to change the groupvalue, release thechannel button whilethe first digit displays......then press the channel button to increase the value.to change the channelvalue, release thechannel button while thesecond digit displays...
