Multiple
System Setup
Up to 12 systems can operate simultaneously (band and
RF
environment dependent).
Important:
Set
up each system one-at-a-time.
Once
a receiver and transmitter are tuned to the same group and channel,
leave the transmitter powered on. Otherwise, scans from the other receivers
will
not detect that channel as occupied. For
the BLX88, be sure
to
setup both transmitters before progressing to the next receiver.
Turn
on
any other equipment that could cause interference during the performance so it
will
be detected during the group
and channel scans
in
the following steps.
Before you begin system set up, turn
all receivers
ON
and all
transmitters
OFF.
For the
first
receiver:
1.
Perform
a group scan.
This finds the group with the most clear channels.
Note:
For the BLX88, the group scan sets up both receivers at the same time.
2.
Turn
on
the first transmitter and change the group and channel to match receiver.
3.
Leave the transmitter on and continue with the additional systems.
Note:
If
the selected group does not contain enough open channels, manually select group
"d"
when setting up larger
systems.
For each additional receiver:
1. Use manual setup
to
change the receiver to match the group setting of the first receiver. Recall that each time the
group
~etting
is
changed, a channel scan
is
automatically done.
2.
Turn
on
the transmitter and change the group and channel to match the receiver.
3.
Leave the transmitter on and continue to the next system.
4.
Once all
receivers are set up, perform
an
audio check on
all
microphones.
Manually Setting Receiver Group and
Channel
The receiver group may need to be changed as part of a multiple system setup.
Group (letter)
1.
Hold the
group
button
on
the receiver until the display begins to flash.
2. While the display
is
flashing, press the
group
button again
to
advance to the next group.
Note:
Only
the group setting
will
be displayed during the manual setup.
3.
Once
the desired group
is
reached, release the
group
button. The receiver automatically performs a channel scan.
Channel
(number)
Always use a channel selected by the channel scan. However, if necessary, the channel can be set manually. Follow the
same steps above using the
channel
button instead of the
group
button.
Locking and
Unlocking Controls
Lock system controls to prevent accidental setting changes or power off.
Transmitter
