Active Antennas

The antenna connectors on the ULX receiver provide 12 Vdc for active circuit antennas.
Caution: Use only Shure antenna accessories to ensure the best operation. Do not use split-

ters, combiners, or antennas that provide a DC ground, as this can cause the receiver to func­tion improperly.

Antenna Combiners and Accessories

The supplied antennas can be connected directly to the BNC-type ANTENNA connectors. However, optional antenna mounting accessories from Shure
can improve reception and reduce rack clutter. Use the following guidelines:

• Antennas and receivers must be from the same band.

• Mount antennas more than 40 cm (16 inches) apart.

• Use Shure UA825 or UA850 low-loss coaxial antenna cable (or any 50 ohm, low-loss cable such as RG-8U).

Battery Life

Use only 9V alkaline or lithium batteries. Typical life for common types of
9V batteries are listed below. For detailed information on battery perfor­mance, contact Shure Applications Engineering.

Recommended:

• Lithium (16 hours)

• Alkaline (8 hours)

Not recommended:

• Carbon-Zinc (½ hour)

• Rechargeable Ni-Cd (2 hours)

• Rechargeable Ni-MH (2½ hours)

NOTE:

• Battery life varies with type and manufacturer.

• Batteries stored for more than a year or stored in excessively hot

environments may experience a higher failure rate.

• Do not use rechargeable batteries with a fully-charged rating of greater
than 9 V (for example, 9.6 V).

• Transmitters require a minimum of 6 V to operate.

Power/Mute Switch

• Turn transmitter off to mute the microphone or conserve battery power.

• Use the lock feature to avoid accidental muting of the microphone

during a performance.

Power Indicator (BAT)

Green: ready

Single System

If you encounter wireless interference, perform a channel scan on the re­ceiver and use the selected channel. You usually do not need to change
the group.

Changing Group and Channel

If you encounter wireless interference, set the receiver and transmitter to
a different channel or group.

Group Scan (ULXP4 only)

The “group scan” feature on the ULXP helps maximize the number of
systems you can install at a single venue. It scans for wireless interfer­ence and finds the group with the most open channels.

ULXP4

Frequency Master List Mode

Master List mode offers more precise frequency selection for larger,
multiple-system installations.

Enter Master List mode on the receiver or transmitter by holding down the
SET button for 10 seconds. Set GROUP and CHANNEL as you would in
normal mode.

NOTE: The unit must remain in Master List mode to operate at the se­lected frequency.

Exit Master List mode by holding the SET button for 10 seconds.

Multiple Systems

To maximize performance, set all wireless systems to different channels
from the same group. These channels are selected to work well together.

Follow these steps when using group and channel scan with multiple
systems.

1. Power off all system transmitters. Turn on all other wireless or digital
devices as they would be during the performance or presentation.

2. On the first receiver: Perform a group scan. Note the selected group,
then use channel scan to find the first open channel in that group.

3. Power on the first transmitter and set it to the selected group and
channel.

4. IMPORTANT: Leave the first transmitter powered on while setting up
the next system.

5. For each additional system: Set to the same group as the first.
Perform a channel scan and set the receiver and transmitter to the
selected channel.

6. Leave each transmitter on while setting up additional systems.

Note:

• Keep each transmitter at least two meters (6 feet) apart.

• If using systems from different bands, set up all systems from the same

band together.

Tip: To reduce setup time, you can manually set up the group and chan­nels before arriving at the venue. Visit www.shure.com for a list of groups
and channels that are anticipated to be free of interference in a particular
city or region.

Wireless Indicators

RF Indicator

ULXP4 ULXS4

Indicates wireless activity over the selected
channel.

Note: When the antenna and battery indica­tors are illuminated, the RF indicator shows
signal strength from the transmitter. Otherwise,
it is showing interference from another source.
Select a different channel.

This indicator shows which an­tenna is receiving the strongest
signal from the transmitter.

The factory setting offers the optimum performance for most installations.
Increasing squelch filters out all but the highest quality signal, but this decreases operating range. Decreasing squelch

extends the operating range, but can increase signal noise.

For models sold in the United States only.
Displays the TV channel occupied by the
selected frequency.

ULXP4

LEVEL

Adjusts the level of the receiver’s audio outputs.

Audio Output Connectors

Balanced XLR: Connect to a mixer or other professional

audio input. Use the MIC/LINE switch to adjust for micro­phone or line-level inputs.

Unbalanced 6.35 mm (1/4”): Connect to high impedance
inputs, such as a guitar amplifier.

NOTE: The LINE/MIC switch does not affect the 6.35 mm
(1/4”) jack.

Troubleshooting

No power: Check battery and power supply connections and voltage.

Check the power switch on the transmitter.
The LCD displays “E0 00” or similar code: Exit master list mode by

holding the SET button for ten seconds.
Can’t turn off or change settings on the transmitter or receiver: The

interface is locked. See the section on locking the interface.
No audio: If the antenna and battery indicators do not appear on the re-

ceiver, then it is not receiving a signal from the transmitter. Make sure the
transmitter and receiver are tuned to the same group and channel.

Faint or distorted audio: Adjust transmitter gain, bodypack attenuator
switch, and receiver output level.

Noise: Noise usually results from wireless interference or a weak signal
from the transmitter. See Tips for Improving System Performance.

Tips for Improving System
Performance

If you encounter wireless interference or drop outs, try the following:

• Replace the transmitter battery with a fresh alkaline battery (avoid
rechargeable batteries).

• Choose a different frequency channel.

• Reposition the antennas so there is nothing obstructing a line of sight

to the transmitter (including the audience).

• Avoid placing transmitter and receiver where metal or other dense
materials may be present.

• Move the receiver to the top of the equipment rack (or remote mount
antennas outside the rack).

• Remove nearby sources of wireless interference, such as cell
phones, two-way radios, computers, media players, and digital signal
processors.

• Keep transmitters more then two meters (6 feet) apart.

• Keep the transmitter and receiver more than 5 meters (15 ft) apart.

• Point the receiver antenna tips away from each other at a 45° angle,

and keep them away from large metal objects.

• During sound check, mark “trouble spots” and ask presenters or
performers to avoid those areas.

Information to the user

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Note: EMC conformance testing is based on the use of supplied and rec-

ommended cable types. The use of other cable types may degrade EMC
performance.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufac­turer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

WARNING: Dispose of properly. Check with local vendor for

proper disposal of used battery and electronics.
