QLX-D Wireless System
Important: Before you begin a scan or frequency assignment:
• Turn off: All transmitters for system you are setting up to prevent inter-
ference with frequency scans.
• Turn on: The following potential sources of interference including other
wireless systems, computers, CD players, large LED panels, and effects
processors to prevent selection of occupied frequencies.
Scan and IR Sync
The simplest way to create an audio channel is to use the scan function to
find the best available receiver channel, and then use the IR sync feature to
automatically tune the transmitter to the receiver channel.
Step 1: Scanning to Find the Best Channel
The Scan function automatically selects the best available receiver channel.
1. Navigate to the Scan menu option.
2. Press enter to start the scan.
3. When the scan is complete, the channel will appear on the display.

Network Scan

The Network Scan feature automates frequency assignment by using a single
receiver to scan and deploy frequencies to all networked receiver within the
same frequency band.
Network Scanning and Frequency Deployment
1. Connect receivers to an active Ethernet network. All receivers must be
on the same subnet.
2. Prior to performing a network scan, turn on all receivers and allow 60
seconds for all receivers to join the network.
3. Choose a group or custom group for deployment on the receiver that will
be used to initiate the network scan.
4. To start a network scan, press the menu button and navigate to the net-
work scan menu. Press enter.
5. When the scan is complete, the displays of receivers waiting for frequen-
cies will flash.
6. Press enter to deploy the frequencies or press menu to cancel the de-
ployment.
7. The front panel LEDs on each receiver will blink when a deployed fre-
quency has been assigned.
Note: Full frequency deployment may not occur if the number of receivers
in the network exceeds the number of available frequencies in the selected
group. Try another group or rescan after turning off unused receivers.
Step 2: IR Sync for Automatic Transmitter Set Up
Performing an IR Sync automatically tunes the transmitter to match the re-
ceiver frequency, forming a wireless audio channel.
1. Turn on the transmitter.
2. Press the sync button on the receiver. The red ir LED will blink indicating
that sync mode is active.
3. Align the IR sync windows of the transmitter and receiver at a distance
of <15 cm (6 in.). When the transmitter and receiver are aligned, the red
ir LED remains on and the sync will automatically occur.

4. sync good appears on the display when IR sync is complete. The blue
rf LED will illuminate indicating that the transmitter is within range of the
receiver.
Note: If the IR sync fails, repeat the IR sync procedure, carefully main-
taining alignment between the IR windows of the transmitter and receiver.
< 15 cm (6 in.)

Manual Group and Channel Assignment

An audio channel can be manually created by simply setting the receiver and
transmitter to the same group number and channel number. For example, a
receiver set to Group 2, Channel 3 and a transmitter set to Group 2, Channel
3 would form an audio channel.
Use manual group and channel configuration to assign specific groups and
channels to receivers and transmitters as an alternative method to automat-
ically creating channels with IR sync.
Use the following steps to set the group and channel in the receiver and
transmitter:
1. Navigate to the group setting.
2. Use the arrow buttons to scroll through the groups.
3. Press enter to select a group.
4. Next, use the arrow buttons to select a channel.
5. Press enter to save.

Manual Frequency Selection

Manual frequency selection can be used instead of groups and channels to
set the transmitter and receiver to a specific frequency. For example, an audio
channel can be created by setting the receiver and transmitter to same fre-
quency.
Setting the Receiver Frequency
1. Press menu to navigate to the frequency setting option.
2. Use the arrow buttons to adjust the frequency. Press and hold for faster
scrolling.
3. Press enter to save.
