SystemSetup
Scan and Sync
Use this procedure to set a receiver and transmitter to the same open channel.
Important! Before you begin:
• Turn off the RF on the transmitters for the systems you are setting up. (This
prevents them from interfering with the frequency scan.)
• Turn on potential sources of interference such as other wireless systems or
devices, computers, CD players, large LED panels, effects processors, and
digital rack equipment so they are operating as they would be during the
presentation or performance (so the scan will detect and avoid any interference
they generate).
1. Perform a group scan on the receiver by pressing and holding the scan button
for two (2) seconds. GROUP SCAN appears while the receiver scans for the best
group of frequencies in your RF environment.
2. After the scan completes, the receiver displays the best available frequency and
highlights the SET FREQ menu item. Press enter to accept the frequency and
return to the home screen.
3. From the receiver home screen, press enter to go to the main menu and high-
light SYNC.
4. Power on the selected UHF-R transmitter, align the IR windows, and press enter
on the receiver to begin the sync.
5. SYNCING... appears on the LCD. When complete, SUCCESS appears and the
LEDs on the receiver flash. The transmitter and receiver are now tuned to the
same frequency.
Multiple System Setup
When setting up multiple systems, begin by setting up the first system as follows:
1. Conduct a group scan on the receiver by pressing and holding the scan button
for two seconds.
Note the group number and number of compatible frequencies.
Press enter to accept the selected frequency.
group
2. Sync the receiver with the transmitter. Leave the transmitter on.
Repeat the following steps for each additional system:
1. Manually set the receiver to the designated group.
2. Press scan once to find the next compatible frequency.
3. Sync with transmitter and leave transmitter on while setting up additional
systems.
Transmitter Compatibility
The receiver is compatible with both UHF-R and Axient transmitters, but must be
set to the correct system mode. Select the transmitter type from the system mode
menu (SYS MODE). This configures the receiver with a compatible tonekey, au-
dio companding, and IR sync protocol. The UR5 does not have Axient ShowLink
capabilities.
Note: Changing modes removes all entries in the MTx list. You will be prompted with
the following warning: MTx MODE LIST WLL BE ERASED?.

RF Pad
Access the RF pad menu (RADIO > RF PAD) to attenuate antenna signal level in 1
dB increments.
Scanning for an Open Channel
If you experience interference, use one of the following frequency scans to analyze
the RF environment and identify an available frequency.
• Channel Scan: Press the scan button on the receiver. Finds the first available
• Group Scan: Press and hold the scan button for two seconds. Finds the group
• Full Scan: Scans the full RF band and allows you to view the results in a

1. Navigate to the full scan menu (RADIO > FULL SCAN)
2. Select RUN SCAN and press enter to initiate the full scan.
3. Once the scan is completed, select SPECTRUM from the full scan menu to view
Note: If the full scan is interrupted, no data is stored, and NO DATA displays on the
screen.
Viewing Full Scan Results
Use the spectrum menu to display full scan results (RADIO > FULL SCAN >
