Using Multiple Transmitters with a Single
Receiver (MTx Mode)
The MTx feature stores a list of presets, allowing you to easily switch from one transmit-
ter to another without having to reconfiguring receiver settings. This replaces the need
to mount multiple receivers on your camera whenever you only need to tune to one
transmitter at a time.
The presets are stored as entries in the MTx list. Each entry stores a name, RF chan-
nel, and receiver camera output volume. Transmitters can be synced to entries in the
list, which transfers the entry name and RF channel settings over the IR port.
To use the presets, enter MTx mode on the receiver and scroll through the MTx list with
the ▼▲ buttons to receive audio from the transmitter on that RF channel.
Multiple entries can be set to the same RF channel. This may be desired, for example, if
the same transmitter will be used at different times throughout a performance at varying
volumes.
Entering MTx Mode
To enter MTx mode, select UTILITES > MTx MODE > ENTER MODE . The name and RF
settings for the first entry in the MTx list are displayed.
If the MTx list is empty, EMPTY LIST PRESS ENTER TO ADD CURRENT SETTINGS is
diplayed. Press enter to create a new entry based on the current receiver settings.
Exiting MTx Mode
To exit MTx mode, press enter and select EXIT MTx MO .
Creating an MTx List
Use one of the following methods to add entries to the MTx list.

name and assigned a compatible RF channel.
When creating a new list, all existing entries are overwritten.
1. Perform a group scan (press and hold scan button for two seconds).
2. After the scan completes, select CREATE LIST
3. The receiver displays the number of compatible channels available for the MTx list.
Note: The maximum number for a MTx list is twenty (20).
4. Use the ▼▲ buttons to choose the number of transmitters you want to add to the list.
5. Press enter to create the list.
CREATING LIST... displays while the list populates. When complete, it displays LIST
DONE before returning to the home screen.
Add Current
Use this method to add entries to the MTx list individually, based on the current settings
of the receiver.
• Tune the receiver to the desired frequency. You may also want to adjust the reciever
camera output level, as this is also stored in the list entry.
• Select ADD CURRENT from the MTx menu ( UTILITIES > MTx MODE > ADD CURRENT )
and press enter .
SUCCESS is displayed upon completion.
LIST FULL displays after reaching the maximum of 20 entries.
Copying an MTx List to Another Receiver
Use COPY/PASTE to transfer the MTx list from one portable receiver to another.
1. Highlight COPY/PASTE from the MTx menu on both receivers ( UTILITIES > MTx
MODE ).
Important: COPY/PASTE must be highlighted on both receivers.
2. Align the receiver IR windows and press enter on the source receiver (the receiver
you want to copy from).
The display shows SUCCESS and the LEDs flash on both receivers after transferring
the list.
