ENGLISH ENGLISH SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Shure SC Series wireless microphone system is a frequencyselectable, diversity system operating in the VHF band between 169 and 216 MHz. Each SC Series system is capable of operating on eight different frequencies (four different frequencies for SC systems operating in the traveling band). Digital frequency control enables the system to produce a clean signal, which allows up to 12 SC Series wireless systems to be operated simultaneously in a single installation.

Power jack: Accepts power from the supplied PS40/PS40E AC adapter or from a well-filtered 12.5 – 18 Vdc (300 mA, minimum) supply. Also accepts power cord from the WA405 Antenna Power/Distribution system. 15. Mic/line Level switch: Controls output of balanced XLR output connector; can be set for either microphone level (–18 dBV maximum) or line level (+4 dBV maximum).

Various models have different grille styles. Battery Fuel Gauge: An array of LEDs that light to indicate level of battery life remaining when battery check switch is pressed. The transmitter must be turned on in order for the fuel gauge to function. Battery Check Switch: Activates the battery fuel gauge.
ENGLISH ENGLISH ADJUSTING RECEIVER SQUELCH CONTROL The receiver squelch control is factory pre–set to accommodate most operating conditions. However, the setting may need to be changed to compensate for the effects of other equipment or RF interference. To adjust the squelch control, proceed as follows: 1. Place the system where it will be used during a performance. 2. Turn the transmitter power switch off. 3. Turn the receiver volume control full counterclockwise and turn the receiver power switch on. 4.
ENGLISH ENGLISH CHECKING TRANSMITTER BATTERY POWER With the transmitter on, press and hold the BATTERY CHECK switch and observe the battery fuel gauge. Three green LEDs will light if the battery is fresh. As the battery is used up, the green indicators turn off one by one. When approximately two hours of battery life remain, a single yellow LED will light. When approximately 45 minutes of battery life remain, a single red LED will light, indicating the need to change the battery.

The factory pre–set base frequency #4 position.
ENGLISH ENGLISH INSTALLING THE WA555 GRIP/SWITCH COVER ACCESSORY ON THE SC2 The SC2 transmitter is supplied with an external sleeve accessory (WA555) that prevents accidental movement of the microphone controls, without affecting RF performance. It also provides the microphone with a “grip” feel. To install the grip/switch cover, proceed as follows: 1. Unscrew the battery cover. 2. Slide the cover over the microphone handle “lip” end downward.
ENGLISH ENGLISH TIPS FOR ACHIEVING MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE • Maintain line-of-sight between the transmitter and the receiver • • • • • antennas. Avoid obstacles made of metal or other dense materials. Minimize the distance from transmitter to receiver. It is much better to have the receiver near the transmitter and run the received audio signal through a long cable than to transmit over long distances or use long antenna cables. Use the proper receiver antenna.
