Note: Any change to the encryption status on the receiver (enabling/disabling encryption) requires a sync to send the settings to the transmitter. New encryp­
tion keys for the transmitter and receiver channel are generated on every IR sync, so to request a new key for a transmitter, perform an IR sync with the de­
sired receiver channel.

Setting the Frequency Manually

The transmitter can be manually tuned to a specific group, channel, or frequency.
1.
Navigate to the Radio menu and select Freq.
2.
Scroll to select G: and C: to edit the group and channel, or select the frequency parameter (MHz). When editing the fre­
quency, press O once to edit the first 3 digits, or twice to edit the last 3 digits.
Use the ∧∨ buttons to adjust the group, channel, or frequency.

4.
Press O to save, and then press X when finished.

Updating Firmware

Firmware is embedded software in each component that controls functionality. Periodically, new versions of firmware are devel­
oped to incorporate additional features and enhancements. To take advantage of design improvements, you can upload and in­
stall new versions of the firmware by using the Shure Update Utility. The Shure Update Utility is available for download from
http://www.shure.com/.

Firmware Versioning

When performing an update, first download firmware to the receiver, and then update transmitters to the same firmware version
to ensure consistent operation.
The firmware numbering for Shure devices uses the following format: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.BUILD (e.g., 1.2.21.1). At a mini­
mum, all devices on the network (including transmitters), must have the same MAJOR and MINOR firmware version numbers
(e.g., 1.2.x).

Updating the Transmitter

1.
Download the firmware to the receiver.
2.
Access the following menu from the receiver: Device Settings > Tx Firmware Update.
3.
Align the IR ports between the transmitter and the receiver. IR ports must be aligned for the entire download, which can
take 50 seconds or longer.
Tip: The red alignment LED will turn on when the alignment is correct.
4.
Press ENTER on the receiver to begin the download to the transmitter. The receiver will display the progress of the up­
date as a percentage.
