TIPS FOR ACHIEVING OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE
  •     Maintain a line of sight between the transmitter and receiver antennas.
  •     Avoid placing transmitter and receiver where metal or other dense materials may be present.
  •     Avoid placing the receiver near computers or other RF generating equipment such as CD players, DAT machines, and
        digital signal processors.
  •     Avoid placing the receiver in the bottom of an equipment rack unless the antennas are remotely located.
  •     Point the receiver antenna tips away from each other at a 45° angle, and keep them away from large metal objects.
  •     Do not obstruct the receiver antennas.
  •     Use the proper cable when remotely locating receiver antennas. For best performance, use Shure UA825 or UA850 low
        loss coaxial antenna cable, or 50 ohm low loss cable such as RG-8U.
  •     For remote antenna placement, use Shure UA820 1/2 Wave Antenna and UA830 Active Remote Antenna Kits, along
        with Shure UA844 Antenna Distribution System.
  •     Mount diversity antennas at least 1/4 wave apart. This can be achieved by remote placement of one or both 1/2 wave
        antennas using Shure UA825, UA850, or UA8100 low loss coaxial cable and a Shure UA830 Active Remote Antenna
        Kit in conjunction with a Shure Antenna Distribution System. For multiple system installations, use the Shure UA844
        Antenna/Power Distribution System.
  •     Try to maintain a distance of at least 5 meters (15 ft) between the transmitter and receiver.

ADJUSTING THE RECEIVER SQUELCH SETTING
The receiver squelch control is factory preset for optimum performance. Normally, no further adjustment is required. How-
ever, it is possible to adjust the squelch control to improve either signal quality or increase system range.
    NOTE:        Increasing the Squelch level causes the receiver to demand a higher quality signal (less noise be-
                 fore muting), but it reduces operating range. Decreasing the Squelch level allows a lower quality
                 signal through (more noise before muting), but extends the operating range.
    1.   Hold down the receiver SET button and press the MODE button twice. “SQLCH” will flash on the display, as shown in
         Figure 41.

BATTERY LIFE
Shure recommends using only 9V alkaline or lithium batteries with ULX1 and ULX2 transmitters. Typical life expectancies for
the most common types of 9V batteries are listed in the tables below. For detailed information on battery performance, contact
your dealer or the Shure Service Department at 1-800-516-2525 (7:30 am to 4:00 pm, Central Standard Time). In Europe, call
49-7131-72140; other international users call Shure in the U.S.A. at 847-600-2000.
    NOTE:             Batteries stored for more than a year or stored in excessively hot environments may experience a higher
                      failure rate.
    NOTE:             When using rechargeable batteries, do not use any battery with a fully-charged rating of greater than 9v, for
                      example, 9.6V
ULX Transmitters use a DC-to-DC converter, which require a minimum 6 V to operate. It the battery does not provide this thresh-
old voltage, the transmitter will not operate.
