To ease setup, frequencies available to the QLX-D system are organized into groups and channels. Each group contains a number of channels, and each channel is assigned to a specific preset frequency.The QLX-D system provides 3 methods for tuning the receiver and transmitter to the same frequency:• Scan and IR Sync: The receiver scans the RF spectrum for the best available frequency and an IR sync automatically tunes the transmitter to the receiver frequency• Manual Group and Channel Assignment: Manually setting the receiver and transmitter to the same group and channel number forms an audio channel• Manual Frequency Assignment: Manually setting the receiver and transmitter to the same frequency rather than using groups and channels forms an audio channelImportant: Before you begin a scan or frequency assignment:• Turn off: All transmitters for system you are setting up to prevent interference with frequency scans.• Turn on: The following potential sources of interference including other wireless systems, computers, CD players, large LED panels, and effects processors to prevent selection of occu-pied frequencies.Scan and IR Sync The simplest way to create an audio channel is to use the scan function to find the best available receiver channel, and then use the IR sync feature to automatically tune the transmitter to the receiver channel. Step 1: Scanning to Find the Best ChannelThe Scan function automatically selects the best available receiver channel.1. Navigate to the Scan menu option. 2. Press enter to start the scan.3. When the scan is complete, the channel will appear on the display.channelIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIscanStep 2: IR Sync for Automatic Transmitter Set UpPerforming an IR Sync automatically tunes the transmitter to match the receiver frequency, form-ing a wireless audio channel.1. Turn on the transmitter.2. Press the sync button on the receiver. The red ir LED will blink indicating that sync mode is active.3. Align the IR sync windows of the transmitter and receiver at a dis-tance of <15 cm (6 in.). When the transmitter and receiver are aligned, the red ir LED remains on and the sync will automatically occur. 4. sync good appears on the display when IR sync is complete. The blue rf LED will illuminate indicating that the transmitter is within range of the receiver.Note: If the IR sync fails, repeat the IR sync procedure, carefully maintaining alignment between the IR windows of the transmitter and receiver.< 15 cm (6 in.) Manual Group and Channel AssignmentAn audio channel can be manually created by simply setting the receiver and transmitter to the same group number and channel number. For example, a receiver set to Group 2, Channel 3 and a transmitter set to Group 2, Channel 3 would form an audio channel. Use manual group and channel configuration to assign specific groups and channels to receivers and transmitters as an alternative method to automatically creating channels with IR sync.Use the following steps to set the group and channel in the receiver and transmitter:1. Navigate to the group setting.2. Use the arrow buttons to scroll through the groups.3. Press enter to select a group.4. Next, use the arrow buttons to select a channel.5.

Perform an IR sync between the receiver and transmitter to clear the error.Custom Group IR SyncWhen using Custom Groups, always perform an IR sync from the Custom Groups menu in the receiver to ensure accurate display of group and channel information. See Custom Groups topic for additional details.Radio Frequency (RF)The blue RF LED will illuminate when a linked transmitter is within range of the receiver. Measure the transmitter range before a performance to avoid operating beyond the specified transmitter range.The RF meter bars indicate amount of RF power being received. This signal could be from the transmitter, or it could be from an interfering source, such as a television broadcast. If the meter shows a signal level when the transmitter is off, then that channel may have interfer-ence. Check the surrounding area for sources of interference or change the receiver to a clear frequency.A red RF LED indicates RF overload. Avoid operating multiple systems in close proximity.Frequency Compatibility - Perform a Scan and Sync to ensure the transmitter and receiver are set to the same channel or frequency - Look at the label on the transmitter and receiver to make sure they are in the same band (G50, J50, L50, etc...).Reducing Interference - Perform a scan to find the best open frequency. Perform an IR sync to transfer the settings to the transmitter. - For multiple systems, make sure that each receiver is assigned to a unique channel. Interference will occur if two transmitters are set to the same channel. - Maintain a line of sight between transmitter and receiver antennas. - Move receiver antennas away from metal objects or other sources of RF in-terference (such as CD players, computers, digital effects, network switches, network cables and Personal Stereo Monitor (PSM) wireless systems). - Eliminate RF overload (see below).Increasing Range - Increase transmitter RF power level to Hi - Use an active directional antenna, antenna distribution system, or other anten-na accessory to increase RF rangeEliminating RF OverloadIf the RF OL icon appears on the RF meter, try the following: - Reduce the transmitter RF power level from Hi to Lo - Move the transmitter further away from the receiver—at least 6 m (20 ft) - If you are using active antennas, reduce antenna or amplifier gain. - Use omnidirectional antennasError Codes and SolutionsError codes are generated when the receiver detects a condition that can potentially affect system performance.If an error is displayed on the receiver, use the following table to identify the problem and find the corresponding solution.Error Code Description SolutionsErr.001 Audio Compatibility Update transmitter and receiver firmware to the latest version.Err.002 Encryption Mismatch between Shure product linesSet encryption to off for components from different Shure products lines, such as QLX-D and ULX-D.Err.003 Encryption Mode MismatchPerform an IR sync be-tween the transmitter and receiver to clear the error.Err.004 Band Mismatch Receiver and transmitter are operating in overlap-ping frequencies from different bands.Err.005 Frequency Mismatch Receiver and transmitter are from bands that do not share compatible frequencies.Err.006 No Frequencies Found Rescan, select a different group, or use WWB to find a frequency.Err.007 Firmware Mismatch Update firmware on the transmitter and receiver.Err.008 Shure SB900 battery runtime does not appear on displayCheck that battery is firmly installed into the battery compartment.
