WARNING!
USING THIS SYSTEM AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES CAN CAUSE
PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE. USE AS LOW A VOLUME AS POSSIBLE.
In order to use this system safely, avoid prolonged listening at excessive sound pressure levels. Please use the fol-lowing guidelines established by the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) on maximum time exposure to sound pressure levels before hearing damage occurs.
90 dB SPL at 8 hours
95 dB SPL at 4 hours
100 dB SPL at 2 hours
105 dB SPL at 1 hour
110 dB SPL at 1/2 hour
115 dB SPL at 15 minutes
120 dB SPL — avoid or hearing damage may occur
It is difcult to measure the exact Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) present at the eardrum in live applications. In addition to the volume setting on the PSM, the SPL in the ear is affected by ambient sound from oor wedges or other devices. The isolation provided by the t of quality earphones is also an important factor in determining the SPL in the ear.
Here are some general tips to follow in the use of this product to protect your ears from damage:
1. Turn up the volume control only far enough to hear properly.
2. Ringing in the ears may indicate that the gain levels are too high. Try lowering the gain levels.
3. Have your ears checked by an audiologist on a regular basis. If you experience wax buildup in your ears, stop using the sys­tem until an audiologist has examined your ears.
4. Wipe the earphones with an antiseptic before and after use to avoid infections. Stop using the earphones if they are causing great discomfort or infection.

Frequency Scan
The scan feature analyzes the RF environment for interference to identify available frequencies. The PSM900 has two frequency scan modes:
• Channel Scan Press the scan button on the
bodypack. Finds the first available channel.
• Group Scan Press and hold the scan button
for two seconds. Finds the group with the greatest number of available channels. (Each group contains a set of frequencies that are compatible when operating multiple systems in the same environment.)
Sync
The PSM900 transfers settings in either direction: from the bodypack to the rack unit, or from the rack unit to the bodypack.
• Sending settings to the bodypack: Align the IR windows and press the sync button on the rack unit. The blue LED on the bodypack flashes.
• Downloading settings from the bodypack:
First press the scan button on the bodypack. Then align the IR windows and press the sync button on the rack unit while the bodypack display is flashing “SYNC NOW...”. The level LEDs flash on the rack unit.
MixMode
Some performers need to hear more of their own voice or instrument, while others want to hear more of the band. With MixMode, the performer creates their own mix using the balance control
(▼▲buttons)onthebodypack.
To use MixMode, send a solo mix of the perform­er to the CH. 1 IN input on the transmitter, and send a band mix to the CH. 2 IN input.
Set the performers bodypack for MixMode. The bodypack combines the two signals and sends them to both earphones, while the balance control on the bodypack adjusts the relative levels for each.
CueMode
CueMode allows you to upload the name and fre­quency settings from multiple rack units and store them as a list on a single bodypack. You can then, at any time, scroll through that list to hear the audio mix from each transmitter, just as each performer does during a show.
CueMode lists are retained even if CueMode is exited, the bodypack is turned off, or batteries are removed.

When setting up multiple systems, designate a single bodypack to scan for available frequencies and download them to all the rack units.
The bodypack must be from the same frequency band as all the transmitters.
1. Power on all the rack units. Turn off the RF.
(This prevents them from interfering with the frequency scan.) Note: Turn on all other wireless or digital de­vices as they would be during the performance or presentation (so the scan will detect and avoid any interferance they generate).
2. Use the bodypack to scan for a group by pressing and holding the scan button for two seconds. The bodypack displays the group and the number of available channels, and
flashes SYNC NOW....
Important: Note the number of available channels. If you have more rack units than available channels, eliminate potential sources of interference and try again, or call Shure Applications for assistance.
3. Sync the bodypack with the first rack unit by aligning the IR windows and pressing sync.
4. Press scan again on the bodypack to find the next available frequency.
5. Sync the bodypack with the next rack unit.
6. Repeat with all the rack units.
7. Sync each performer’s bodypack to its respec­tive rack unit by aligning the IR windows and pressing snyc. DO NOT press scan on the bodypacks.
8. Turn on the RF on all rack units. The systems are ready to use.
Note: Set the channel frequency and assign dis­play names for each transmitter before creating your CueMode list.
Adding Transmitters to the CueMode List
Note: The transmitter must be from the same fre-
quency band as the bodypack.
1. Open the battery door and press the enter button.
2. From the main menu, scroll to UTILITIES and press enter. Select CueMode and press enter again.
3. Align IR windows and press sync on the rack unit. The LCD displays SYNC SUCESS after fre­quency and name data are uploaded to the CueMode list. It also displays the CueMode number for that transmitter and the total num­ber of transmitters.
4. Repeat the above step for each transmitter.
Note: Syncing while in CueMode does not change any of the settings on the bodypack.
