Multiple System Setup Use the following steps to ensure the best performance when in- stalling multiple wireless systems at the same location. 1. Turn all receivers on and all transmitters off. Note: Turn on any other digital equipment that could cause interference during the performance so it will be detected during the frequency scans in the following steps. 2. Make sure the group number is the same for all receivers (see Manual Group Selection). 3. Perform a scan using the first receiver. 4. Turn on the first transmitter and sync it to the receiver. 5. Repeat for each system. • Important: After syncing each transmitter, leave it on so that scans from the other receivers will not select that channel. • Be sure only one transmitter IR port is exposed when synchronizing each system.
