Scan and Sync
Use this procedure to tune a receiver and transmitter to the best open channel.
Important! Before you begin:
Turn off all transmitters for the systems you are setting up. (This prevents
them from interfering with the frequency scan.)
Turn on the following potential sources of interference so they are operating
as they would be during the presentation or performance (the scan will
detect and avoid any interference they generate).
• Other wireless systems or devices
• Computers
• CD players
• Large LED panels
• Effects processors
