17Adjusting the Receiver Squelch SettingThe receiver squelch control is factory preset for optimum performance. Normally, no further adjustment is required. Howev-er, it is possible to adjust the squelch control to improve either signal quality or increase system range.NOTE: Increasing the Squelch level causes the receiver to demand a higher quality signal (less noise before muting), butit reduces operating range. Decreasing the Squelch level allows a lower quality signal through (more noise before muting),but extends the operating range.1. Hold down the SET button and press the MODE button twice. “SQLCH” will flash on the display, as shown in Figure40.FIGURE 402. Rotate the control knob. The new Squelch setting will appear on the display, as shown in Figure 41.FIGURE 413. To accept the new Squelch value, press the SET button. The display will advance to the Lock mode. Refer to the “Lock-ing the Receiver” paragraph below. To bypass the Lock Mode and return to the Default Mode, press the MODE button again.NOTE: The receiver always defaults to the first Channel in any new Group.Locking the ReceiverYou can lock ULXP4 receiver frequency and output level to prevent unauthorized or accidental changes to the settings. Toaccess the Lock functions, proceed as follows:1. Hold down the SET button and press the MODE button three times. “Loc” will appear on the display. See Figure 42.FIGURE 422. Rotate the control knob until one or both of the lock icons flashes on the display, as shown in Figure 43.FIGURE 433. To activate the flashing lock icon(s), press the SET button. The display will return to the default mode and the lock iconwill appear on all display screens.Unlocking the ReceiverTo unlock ULXP4 receiver frequency and output level settings, hold down the SET button and rotate the control knob onedetent left-right-left. The lock icon(s) will disappear, indicating that the receiver is unlocked. See Figure 44.FIGURE 44
18NOTE: If the volume control knob has been set to a level higher than the locked level, the output level will remain lockedand the Volume Level warning indicator will flash on the receiver display. See Figure 45. Rotate the volume control knobcounterclockwise until the Volume Level warning indicator stops flashing. This will unlock the output level setting.FIGURE 45RECEIVER INSTALLATIONTable Mounting the ULXS4 Standard ReceiverTo mount a ULXS4 Standard receiver on a table or other horizontal surface, attach the four adhesive bumpers to the bottomcorners of the receiver and place the receiver on the mounting surface.

20TIPS FOR ACHIEVING OPTIMUM PERFORMANCESMaintain a line of sight between the transmitter and receiver antennas.SAvoid placing transmitter and receiver where metal or other dense materials may be present.SAvoid placing the receiver near computers or other RF generating equipment such as CD players, DAT machines, anddigital signal processors.SAvoid placing the receiver in the bottom of an equipment rack unless the antennas are remotely located.SPoint the receiver antenna tips away from each other at a 45° angle, and keep them away from large metal objects.SDo not obstruct the receiver antennas.SUse the proper cable when remotely locating receiver antennas. For best performance, use Shure UA825 or UA850low loss coaxial antenna cable, or 50 ohm low loss cable such as RG-8U.SFor remote antenna placement, use Shure UA820WB 1/2 Wave Antenna and UA830WB Active Remote Antenna Kits,along with Shure UA844WB Antenna Distribution System .SMount diversity antennas at least 1/4 wave apart. This can be achieved by remote placement of one or both 1/2 waveantennas using Shure UA825 or UA850 low loss coaxial cable and a Shure UA830WB Active Remote Antenna Kit inconjunction with a Shure Antenna Distribution System. For multiple system installations, use the Shure UA844WB An-tenna/Power Distribution System.SPECIFICATIONSNOTE: For a list of frequencies that are compatible with your geographical area, refer to the supplement that came with thesystem.RF Carrier Frequency Range554.00 to 865.000 MHz (Available frequencies depend on the applicable regulations in the country where the system is used).Refer to the frequency supplement.Effective Range100 m (300 ft) under optimal conditions.NOTE: Actual working range depends on RF signal absorption, reflection, and interferenceAudio Frequency ResponseULX1:25 to 15,000 Hz, ±2 dB.ULX 2: 50 to 15,000 Hz, ±2 dB.
