TRANSMITTER SETUP

L2 Microphone-Transmitter Battery Installation
1. Make sure the transmitter POWER ON/OFF switch is in the
OFF position.
2. While holding the upper part of the transmitter, unscrew (turn
counterclockwise) the handle and slide it downward, as shown
below in Figure 4.

3. Insert a fresh 9-volt alkaline battery and make sure the battery
polarity ("+/-") is correct. A fresh 9-volt alkaline battery should
provide a minimum 14-20 hours of operation. However, nickel-
cadmium batteries will only provide approximately 3 hours of
operation.
IMPORTANT: Use only a 9-volt alkaline battery or a heavy-duty,
rechargeable 8.4-volt nicad battery. Carbon-zinc and zinc-chlo-
ride batteries will not provide sufficient power for proper operation
and are not recommended.
L11 Body-Pack Transmitter Battery Installation
1. With the transmitter POWER ON/OFF switch in the OFF position,
press down on the OPEN side of the battery compartment cover,
slide it back and flip it open, as shown below in Figure 5.

2. Insert a fresh 9-volt alkaline battery, and make sure the battery po-
larity ("+/-") is correct. A fresh 9-volt alkaline battery should pro-
vide a 14 - 20 hours of operation. However, nickel-cadmium bat-
teries will only provide 1.5 to 2 hours of operation.
IMPORTANT: Use only a 9-volt alkaline battery or a heavy-duty,
rechargeable 8.4-volt nicad battery. Carbon-zinc and zinc-chlo-
ride batteries will not provide sufficient power for proper operation
and are not recommended.
Checking the Transmitter Battery
To check the battery in either the L11 or L2 transmitter, turn the
transmitter POWER switch on and observe the Battery Test light.
The light should be bright and clearly visible, indicating adequate

voltage. If the light is dim, the battery voltage has dropped below 6.5
volts and the battery should be replaced (alkaline or recharged nick-
el-cadmium only). If the light does not glow at all, the transmitter will
not operate and the battery should be replaced.
L11 Body-Pack Transmitter Microphone Connections
1. Plug the connector end of the lavalier microphone cable or the
WA302 instrument adapter cable into the 4-pin connector on the
Body-Pack Transmitter. See Figure 6 below.

2. If you are using a lavalier microphone, press the microphone into
the necktie mounting block and clip it to your tie or lapel. If you are
using an electronic instrument, plug the WA302 instrument adapt-
er cable into your guitar or instrument.
IMPORTANT: Other manufacturer's microphones specified for
wireless use are generally not compatible, as supplied, with
Shure wireless systems.
Connecting Other Microphones to the L11 Transmitter
Any Shure lavalier microphone or accessory cable with a Switch-
craft TA4F type 4-pin (female) connector will plug directly into the
transmitter input connector. Many other condenser microphones
will operate using the transmitter's regulated +5 VDC power avail-
able on pin 2. Low-impedance dynamic or ribbon microphones with
pin 2 output can be used with an optional WA310 adapter cable.
See Figure 7 below.
NOTE: Condenser microphones requiring phantom power will
not normally operate with the L11/WA310 transmitter configura-
tion.
