Important Tips for Care and Storage of Shure Recharge-
able Batteries
Proper care and storage of Shure batteries results in reliable performance and ensures a long lifetime.

•
Ideally, batteries should be charged to approximately 40% of capacity for long-term storage
•
During storage, check batteries every 6 months and recharge to 40% of capacity as needed
2.4 GHz Spectrum Overview
GLX-D operates within the 2.4GHz ISM band which is utilized by Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other wireless devices. The benefit of
2.4GHz is that it’s a global band that can be used anywhere in the world, license free.
Overcoming the Challenges of 2.4 GHz
The challenge of 2.4 GHz is that Wi-Fi traffic can be unpredictable. GLX-D meets these challenges in the following ways:
•
Prioritizes and transmits on the best three frequencies per channel (choosing from a pool of six frequencies across the 2.4
GHz band)
•
Seamlessly moves away from interference to backup frequencies without audio interruption
•
Optional GLX-D Frequency Manager improves RF reliability for systems with more than two receivers
•
Continuously scans during usage to rank all frequencies (both current and backup frequencies)
•
Antenna mounting accessories and directional antennas (available separately) help reduce transmittertoantenna dis
tance and connect to antenna splitter
Coexisting with Wi-Fi
If you plan to use WiFi during a performance, turn on WiFi devices prior to turning on GLXD and scanning for the best chan
nel. GLXD detects and avoids other WiFi traffic by scanning the entire 2.4 GHz environment and selecting the three best fre
quencies to transmit on. This method avoids Wi-Fi signals and results in reliable performance for your GLX-D wireless system.
“Bursting” WiFi is harder to detect as it is periodic; however, because GLXD only repeats the most important information,
even bursts at very high levels don’t have an effect on your audio performance.
18/37
Shure Incorporated
Challenging Wireless Environments
Some environments are more difficult than others for 2.4 GHz wireless system performance. Additionally, body absorption has
a greater impact in the 2.4 GHz spectrum compared to the UHF spectrum. The simplest solution in many cases is to reduce
transmittertoreceiver distance by placing receivers on the stage with a clear line of sight. You can also mount antennas re
motely using Shure directional antennas to reduce transmitter-to-antenna distance.
Challenging environments include:
•
Areas with few reflective surfaces such as:
◦
Outdoors
◦
Buildings with very high ceilings
•
Three or more GLXD4R receivers in use and not connected to a GLX-D Frequency Manager
•
Areas with a strong Wi-Fi presence
•
2.4 GHz systems from other manufacturers in use
Note: Unlike analog TV band wireless system which typically use the same type of transmissions across manufacturers, all 2.4 GHz wireless currently on the
market use different variations of wireless transmission. These differences make it more difficult to mix and match 2.4 GHz systems from multiple manufactur
ers, as can be done with TV band wireless solutions.
Tips to Improve Wireless System Performance
If you encounter interference or dropouts, try the following suggestions:
1.
Place receiver at least 3 meters (10 feet) away from Wi-Fi access points, computers, or other active 2.4 GHz sources.
◦
Avoid heavy Wi-Fi traffic activities such as downloading large files or viewing a movie.
◦
Turn on any Wi-Fi prior to turning on GLX-D and scanning for the best channel.
2.
Reduce transmitter-to-receiver distance by placing receivers on stage or above the audience with a clear line of sight to
the transmitter.
◦
Move receiver to the top of the equipment rack for a clear line of sight.
◦
Mount antennas remotely to place closer to transmitters and improve RF reliability if receivers cannot be moved
closer.
◦
Make sure people do not block the line of sight between receiver and transmitter.

Additional Tips
•
Do not place competitive 2.4 GHz receivers near GLXD4R receivers.
•
Connect more than two GLXD4R receivers to a GLX-D Frequency Manager to improve RF reliability.
•
Scan for the best available channel by pressing the channel button.
•
Keep transmitters more than 2 meters (6 feet) apart. This is less critical with shorter receiver-to-transmitter distances or if
receivers are connected to a GLX-D Frequency Manager.
Note: If transmitters are within 6 inches of non-GLX-D transmitters or microphone cartridges, audible noise is possible.
•
Move transmitter and receiver away from metal or other dense materials.
•
During sound check, mark trouble spots and ask performers to avoid those areas.
•
If there is a strong source of Wi-Fi and you specifically want to use frequencies within that Wi-Fi channel, use the following
Group/Channel combinations (best option listed first):
◦
Wi-Fi 1: Group 3/Channel 8, Group 3/Channel 4
◦
Wi-Fi 6: Group 3/Channel 7, Group 3/Channel 5
◦
Wi-Fi 11: Group 3/Channel 2, Group 3/Channel 1
Remote Antenna Placement
Follow these guidelines when mounting antennas remotely:
•
Reduce distance between transmitter and antenna.
•
Mount antennas farther from each other to improve performance.
21/37
Shure Incorporated
•
Position antennas so there is nothing obstructing the line of sight to the transmitter, including the audience.
•
Keep antennas away from metal objects and any other antennas.
•
Use only low-loss reverse SMA cable to avoid poor RF signal.
◦
Consult cable's specifications and calculate signal loss for desired cable run.
•
Use one continuous length of cable from the antenna to the receiver to increase signal reliability.
•
Always perform a walkaround test to verify coverage before using a wireless system during a speech or performance. Ex
periment with antenna placement to find the optimum location. If necessary, mark any trouble spots and ask presenters or
performers to avoid those areas.
Multiple Receiver Systems
To run more than two receivers at the same time, the GLX-D Frequency Manager is recommended to improve RF reliability.
However, you can run multiple receivers without the frequency manager. Select the group by determining the total number of
receivers in your system (channel count). All receivers in the system must be set to the same group.
Channel Count
Group
1 Up to 4 3 Initial factory setting.
2 Up to 5* 3 Best multi-channel group if you experience interference.
3 Up to 8* 0
4 1 27 Best single-channel group if you experience interference.
*Environmentally dependent, 4 systems typical
See "Tips to Improve Wireless System Performance" section for additional information. For information about receiver groups
when connected to the GLX-D Frequency Manager, see the UA846 user guide.
(Number of Re-
ceivers)
Number of Backup
Frequencies Per
Channel
Notes
Only use Group 3 in controlled Wi-Fi environments because
there are no backup frequencies to avoid interference.
Setting Up Receivers and Transmitters
Note: Before beginning, turn off all receivers and transmitters. Turn on and set up each receiver/transmitter pair individually to prevent cross-linking.
1.

Solution
GLX-D transmitters automatically turn off after one hour to conserve
battery life if the signal from a linked receiver is not detected. Make
sure that linked receiver is turned on.
Verify that antenna A and antenna B ports on second frequency
manager are connected to cascade A and cascade B ports on first
frequency manager.
Move system away from other 2.4 GHz sources such as WiFi ac
cess points or computers. If using directional antennas, place inter
ference sources behind antennas in the null to minimize interfer
ence. Place receivers or directional antennas closer to transmitters.
Resetting Components
Use the reset function if it is necessary to restore the transmitter or receiver to their factory settings.
Resetting the Receiver
Restores the receiver to the following factory settings:
•
Gain level = default
•
Controls = unlocked
Press and hold the link button while turning on the receiver power until the LCD displays RE.
Note: When reset is complete, the receiver will automatically initiate linking to search for a transmitter. Press and hold the transmitter link button within five
seconds of powering-on to complete the link.
Resetting the Transmitter
Restores the transmitter to the following factory settings:
•
Controls = unlocked
Press and hold the transmitter link button while turning on the transmitter until power LED goes off.
When the link button is released, the transmitter will automatically initiate linking to find an available receiver. Press the link but
ton on an available receiver to relink.
