due to the influence of disturbing radio waves, the bar graph becomes lower. It displays

in purple for Shure devices, and in white for the other developer’s device.

0 RF (Radio Frequency) signal meter

Shows bars to indicate the level of the RF signal. An active antenna indicator is shown

on the right side. It indicates which antenna is enabled.

In the Diversity mode, both A and B are shown. In the Quadversity mode, the one with

the strongest level among A to D is shown.

NOTE

For details about the relationship between the number of bars and the actual strength of the RF

signal, refer to the manual from each developer.

A Battery indicator

Shows bars to indicate the remaining battery power.

NOTE

For details about the relationship between number of bars and maximum operation time, refer to

the manual from each developer.

B Mode indicator

Indicates the mode status of the device such as Diversity mode or Quadversity mode.

When not activated, it shows “Diversity mode: off” or “Quadversity mode: off”

respectively.
