ENGLISH SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Shure UHF Wireless microphone system is a frequency-agile diversity sys- tem operating in the UHF band. Both the receiver and the transmitter are synthesizer controlled via Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuitry for clear, steady radio frequency (RF) signal.
ENGLISH FIGURE 1 SYSTEM COMPONENTS (FIGURE 1) Each Shure UHF Wireless System includes the following components: U1 Body-Pack Transmitter with your choice of instrument cable or micro- phone, U2 Hand-Held Microphone-Transmitter with your choice of interchangeable microphone heads: • ...
3. Input Connector: Provides connection with a variety of lavalier and headset mi- crophone cables, and the Shure WA302 instrument adapter cable. LEMO–type connectors are available as an option. 4. ON/OFF Switch: Turns transmitter power on and off.
ENGLISH GAIN FIGURE 3 U2 TRANSMITTER CONTROLS & INDICATORS (FIGURE 3) 1. Grille: Protects the microphone cartridge and helps reduce breath sounds and wind noise. The grilles for the various microphone heads differ in appearance. 2. Programmable Display: Displays Group and Channel, battery power level, and frequency lock/power lock on/off status.

Hz power source. 14. Power Output Connector: Provides 90 to 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz power to additional equipment. It can be used to link multiple receivers or to power the Shure UA840 Antenna Distribution System. 15. Antenna Input Connectors: BNC-type connectors provide connection to the supplied antennas or to coaxial cable used with a distribution amplifier or remote antennas.
ENGLISH RECEIVER SETUP Installing Rear Mounted Receiver Antennas Attach the supplied UHF antennas to the antenna BNC connectors on the receiver back panel, as shown in Figure 5. For best performance, orient the antennas with tips pointing away from each other at a 45° angle from vertical. FIGURE 5 Installing Front Mounted Receiver Antennas 1.

ENGLISH Basic Receiver Connections (Figure 10) 1. Connect the receiver output to the mixer or amplifier input, using a standard audio cable with a female 3-pin XLR connector or -inch phone plug. 2. If desired, plug a set of headphones into the headphone monitor output connec- tor.
ENGLISH 3. Connect the female end of a modular power cord to the male power input connec- tor on the rear panel of the receiver. Then plug the power cord into a suitable AC power source. NOTE: If the receiver is rack-mounted, or if using front–mounted antennas, the antennas should extend above the rack cabinet or be remotely located.

ENGLISH TRANSMITTER SETUP Transmitter Battery Installation (Figure 34) 1. Make sure the transmitter power ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position. 2. Open the transmitter battery compartment as follows: • U1 Transmitter: Squeeze the two tabs on either side of the transmitter and flip the battery cover down.
ENGLISH Checking Transmitter Batteries (Figure 35) 1. Turn the transmitter power ON/OFF switch to the ON position. 2. Observe the battery fuel gauge displayed on the transmitter screen and on the right side of the receiver screen. The number of black segments displayed indi- cates battery power level.
ENGLISH Connecting a Lavalier Microphone or Instrument Cable to the U1 Transmitter (Figure 36) 1. Plug the microphone cable or instrument cable into the transmitter input connector. 2. Attach the lavalier microphone to your tie, shirt, or collar. If using a headset, put the headset on.

ENGLISH Activating the Frequency Lock Function The Frequency Lock function prevents accidental frequency changes, and is par- ticularly useful in preventing accidental or unauthorized changes. The lock function is retained in memory, even if the transmitter is turned off and the batteries removed. To activate the Frequency Lock function, proceed as follows: 1.
ENGLISH NOTE: When the Frequency Lock function is engaged, the Power On Lock func- tion can still be activated. However, if the Power Lock and the Frequency Lock functions are engaged, the Power Lock function must be disengaged before can- celling the Frequency Lock.
ENGLISH 5. Turn the receiver on by pressing the upper section of the POWER switch. The re- ceiver display and RF LEDs glows. 6. Make sure the transmitter and receiver are tuned to the same Group, Channel, and Frequency. If necessary, change the settings on either the transmitter or receiver. 7.
LEDs on the receiver flickers during the loudest sounds. NOTE: For guitar applications, the minimum setting (full counterclockwise) is rec- ommended. If using the Shure WH20TQG headset, rotate the gain control to the full clockwise position. Then, if necessary, rotate it back slightly.
(see Figure 47). 4. Orient the belt clip so that “Shure” is on the outside and toward the top (antenna side) of the transmitter. Carefully reinsert the clip’s wire bracket, one side at a time,...
