FREQUENCY SELECTION GUIDE

The Shure UC Wireless System is designed for maximum flexibility and versatility
in a variety of applications. Up to 16 Shure UHF Wireless Systems can be operated
simultaneously in a single installation using the frequency compatibility groups.
Please contact the Shure Customer Service Department if you need additional infor­mation or assistance in frequency selection and setup.

Compatibility Groups

The Shure UC Wireless System includes 10 groups of compatible channels. If you are
using more than one receiver in the same area, we recommend that you set the receivers
to different frequencies within the same group.

Use frequencies from Groups 0–3, 8, or 9 in locations where TV channels 66, 67, 68,
and 69 are NOT in use. If any of these TV channels are present in your location, use fre­quencies from one of the Groups 4–7 as indicated in the following table. Use the UHF TV
Channel Guide in this supplement to determine which TV channels may be present in
your area.
