The antenna connectors on the ULX receiver provide 12 V DC for active circuit antennas.
Caution: Use only Shure antenna accessories to ensure the best operation. Do not use splitters, combiners, or antennas that provide a DC ground, as this can cause the receiver to function improperly.
The supplied antennas can be connected directly to the BNC-type ANTENNA connectors. However, optional antenna mounting accessories from Shure can improve reception and reduce rack clutter. Use the following guidelines:

Both the transmitter and receiver LCD shows approximate operation time remaining for the transmitter.
If you encounter wireless interference, perform a channel scan on the receiver and use the selected channel. You usually do not need to change the group.
To maximize performance, set all wireless systems to different channels from the same group. These channels are selected to work well together.
Follow these steps when using group and channel scan with multiple systems.
Note:
Tip: To reduce setup time, you can manually set up the group and channels before arriving at the venue. Visit www.shure.com for a list of groups and channels that are anticipated to be free of interference in a particular city or region.
This feature scans for an open channel in the selected group.
The "group scan" feature on the ULXP helps maximize the number of systems you can install at a single venue. It scans for wireless interference and finds the group with the most open channels.
To Scan Groups
If you encounter wireless interference, set the receiver and transmitter to a different channel or group.

* Note: You can reverse the scroll direction by holding SET and pressing MODE.
Indicates wireless activity over the selected channel.
Note: When the antenna and battery indicators are illuminated, the RF indicator shows signal strength from the transmitter. Otherwise, it is showing interference from another source. Select a different channel.
This indicator shows which antenna is receiving the strongest signal from the transmitter.
For models sold in the United States only. Displays the TV channel occupied by the selected frequency.
Master List mode offers more precise frequency selection for larger, multiple-system installations.
Enter Master List mode on the receiver or transmitter by holding down the SET button for 10 seconds. Set GROUP and CHANNEL as you would in normal mode.
Note: The unit must remain in Master List mode to operate at the selected frequency.
Exit Master List mode by holding the SET button for 10 seconds.
The factory setting offers the optimum performance for most installations.
Increasing squelch filters out all but the highest quality signal, but this decreases operating range. Decreasing squelch extends the operating range, but can increase signal noise.
To Adjust Squelch
Balanced XLR: Connect to a mixer or other professional audio input. Use the MIC/LINE switch to adjust for microphone or line-level inputs.
Unbalanced 6.35 mm (1/4"): Connect to high impedance inputs, such as a guitar amplifier.
Note: The LINE/MIC switch does not affect the 6.35 mm (1/4") jack.
Adjusts the level of the receiver's audio outputs.
This icon appears when the input signal overloads the transmitter. The icon is displayed for 2 seconds after input overload is detected.
For best audio quality, adjust transmitter gain so only the green and yellow TX AUDIO LEDs flicker. (Occasional illumination of the red LED is okay.)
Green = nominal
Yellow = peak
Red = overload
This feature prevents accidental setting changes.
To Lock Front Panel Controls
Hold the SET button while turning the control wheel left, right, left.
To Unlock Front Panel Controls
Note: If LEVEL flashes on the LCD, decrease the LEVEL control to continue. This feature safeguards against sudden level increases when the lock is removed.
Hold SET and MODE for four seconds or until the lock icon appears.
Locking/Unlocking Frequency
Hold the SET button while powering on the transmitter.
Locking/Unlocking Frequency
Check battery and power supply connections and voltage. Check the power switch on the transmitter.
Exit master list mode by holding the SET button for ten seconds.
Can't turn off or change settings on the transmitter or receiver:
The interface is locked. See the section on locking the interface.
If the antenna and battery indicators do not appear on the receiver, then it is not receiving a signal from the transmitter. Make sure the transmitter and receiver are tuned to the same group and channel.
Adjust transmitter gain, bodypack attenuator switch, and receiver output level.
Noise usually results from wireless interference or a weak signal from the transmitter. See Tips for Improving System Performance.
