gin charging or discharging to 3.8 volts, which may take several hours. The LEDs indicate when the battery is ap
proaching storage voltage or at storage voltage.
To exit storage mode, press and hold storage. The power LED changes to white and batteries resume charging
normally.
When batteries are ready for storage, remove them from the charger and place in a temperature-controlled area.
Recommended battery storage temperature is 10°C (50°F) to 25°C (77°F).
Note: Run storage mode once every 6 months to maintain the storage voltage.
Restoring Factory Settings

Connecting Shure Devices to Wireless Workbench
Wireless Workbench lets you control and monitor devices over the network. To get started, visit http://
www.shure.com/wwb (http://www.shure.com/wwb) and download Wireless Workbench software. Wireless Work
bench communicates with connected devices over a standard Ethernet network.
Required equipment: Shure device, computer with Wireless Workbench installed, Cat 5 (or better) Ethernet ca
ble, and router or network switch
1. Connect the device to your computer with a shielded Cat 5 (or better) Ethernet cable to ensure reliable network
performance. If you have multiple devices to manage, connect each device to a router or network switch. The
Ethernet port LEDs on your device will illuminate to indicate network connectivity. Verify that Shure devices can
see each other by looking for the network connectivity icon on the front panel (location varies).
2. For most applications, use the Automatic mode (default) to let your switch or router assign an IP address using
DHCP addressing. If no DHCP server is present, your devices will fall back to a link-local address in the
169.254.xxx.xxx range. If you need to assign specific IP addresses, set the IP mode to Manual in the Network
menu. Find model-specific instructions at http://shure-community.custhelp.com/posts/a21b97f121 (http://shurecommunity.custhelp.com/posts/a21b97f121).
3. Open Wireless Workbench software.
4. Select a Network Interface in the pop-up window. Choose the network that most closely matches the Ethernet
port where your devices are connected.
5. Your device will appear in the Inventory tab when the connection is successful.

Configuration Tips
• Check your firewall settings to make sure Wireless Workbench has access to your network
• Use multiple Ethernet switches to extend the network for larger installations

Monitoring Batteries with Wireless Workbench
Wireless Workbench provides detailed information for batteries currently docked in the charger. You can also view
battery error notifications and change the charger's network settings.
Click the Inventory tab to view your charger in Wireless Workbench. The charger properties panel provides differ
ent battery statistics:
Charge
Displays charge as a percentage of the total battery capacity. Also shows time remaining to full charge.
Health
Displays health of selected battery as a percentage of the charge capacity of a new battery. Charge capacity (bat
tery life when fully charged) will decline as a result of repeated charge cycles, age, or storage conditions.
Cycle
Displays total number of times that the battery has undergone one full count of discharge and charge. Recharging
after discharging halfway counts as one half of a cycle. Recharging after discharging a quarter of the way counts
as one quarter of a cycle.
Temperature
Displays battery temperature (in Celsius and Fahrenheit) and status.
Charger Network Settings
To adjust charger network settings, open the charger properties panel in Wireless Workbench. Click the gear icon
to set the IP mode and IP address, view the MAC address, and view firmware version.
Connecting to an External Control System
The SBC240 networked charger connects to external control systems such as AMX or Crestron via the Ethernet.
