Shure Incorporated Connecting to External Hardware Attach the backplate and slot the ADX5D receiver into compatible DB25 equipment, such as a video camera or multi-coupler. If needed, attach the included spacer plate to provide a proper fit. Scan for Available Frequencies Perform group and channel scans to find the best frequencies for your devices.
Shure Incorporated Turn on potential sources of interference (other wireless systems or devices, computers, large LED panels, effects processors, and so on) so they are operating as they would be during the presentation or performance. The scan will detect and avoid any interference they generate.
Shure Incorporated Note: Any change to the encryption status on the receiver such as enabling/ disabling encryption or requesting a new encryption key, requires a sync to send the settings to the transmitter. Home Screen The home screen displays the most critical device and channel properties and statuses. From the main home screen, use the arrow buttons to navigate to the channel home screens.
Shure Incorporated Menus and Configuration The receiver uses a two-tier menu structure to support multiple channels: • Device configuration menu: Items in this menu affect the overall performance of the receiver and apply to all channels globally. • Channel menus: Each channel has its own menu allowing for independent channel configuration.

Turn On ADX5D Network Mode and Set the Client ID An ADX5D in network mode uses a client ID to join networks with an AD610 that has a matching host ID. Once you have an AD610 on your network and a network host ID chosen, set your ADX5D to network mode and set the client ID to match the host ID.
Perform a ShowLink test from the Tx Slots menu to plot the status of a linked transmitter's ShowLink coverage. When your device is in direct mode, this function measures the coverage between your transmitter and the ADX5D; when your device is in network mode, this function measures the coverage between your transmitter and the AD610 it is associated with.
Shure Incorporated When the sync is complete, the transmitter will be assigned to the slot. The transmitter will remain assigned to the slot until it is unlinked. To remove a transmitter from a slot, use the arrow buttons to select the slot. Then, use the arrow buttons to select Unlink and press O.
