FIGURE 20
ULX1 Bodypack Connections
If you are using a Bodypack system with a Shure lavalier microphone or instrument adapter, plug the microphone cable or
instrument adapter cable into the transmitter input connector, as shown in Figure 21.
NOTE: The wiring of the input connector on the transmitter is designed for Shure microphones.
FIGURE 21
Turning the Transmitter On
NOTE: DO NOT turn on the transmitter before powering up the receiver. Once the receiver has located an open frequency, turn the transmitter on and set it to that receiver frequency. Turning the transmitter on first will interfere
with the receiver’s frequency scanning function.
Slide the transmitter ON/OFF switch to the ON position, as shown in Figure 22. The power LED will momentarily glow red,
then change to a steady green. The default frequency setting (Channel 1, Group 1) will appear on the display.

LEAVE THE TRANSMITTER ON, RETURN TO THE “BASIC RECEIVER PROGRAMMING,”
AND REPEAT THE SETUP PROCEDURE FOR EACH SYSTEM.

SYSTEM OPERATION
Speak into the microphone or play your instrument. Assuming your audio system is properly set and functioning, you should
hear the sound of your voice or instrument coming through the loudspeakers. The RF and Audio LEDs on the receiver should
also illuminate. Refer to Figure 30.
FIGURE 30
Transmitter Gain Adjustment
If necessary, adjust the transmitter gain until only the yellow LEDs on the receiver light up as you speak into the microphone
or play your instrument. Use the supplied screwdriver to make this adjustment. The red TX AUDIO LEDs on the receiver
should only flicker when you speak loudly or play your instrument loudly. Refer to Figure 31.

Scanning Frequency Groups
1.
Hold down the SET button and press the MODE button once. The words GROUP and SCAN will flash on the display.
Refer to Figure 36.
FIGURE 36
2.
To begin scanning, rotate the control knob one quarter turn clockwise, as shown in Figure 37. The receiver will automatically begin scanning each Channel in all Groups. This may take up to two minutes, and the word “bUSY” will appear
on the display.
FIGURE 37
3.
When all Groups have been scanned, the Group with the most open Channels will appear on the display, as shown
in Figure 38.
FIGURE 38
4.
To tune the receiver to the new Group, press the SET button. An open Channel in this Group will automatically be
scanned and saved in the background. The display will then return to the default mode, as shown in Figure 39. If you
choose not to accept the receiver’s recommended Group, rotate the control knob to the right to scroll through the list
of scanned groups.

Adjusting the Receiver Squelch Setting
The receiver squelch control is factory preset for optimum performance. Normally, no further adjustment is required. However, 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), but
it 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 Figure
40.
FIGURE 40
2.
Rotate the control knob. The new Squelch setting will appear on the display, as shown in Figure 41.
FIGURE 41
3.
To accept the new Squelch value, press the SET button. The display will advance to the Lock mode. Refer to the “Locking 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 Receiver
You can lock ULXP4 receiver frequency and output level to prevent unauthorized or accidental changes to the settings. To
access 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 42
2.
Rotate the control knob until one or both of the lock icons flashes on the display, as shown in Figure 43.
FIGURE 43
3.
To activate the flashing lock icon(s), press the SET button. The display will return to the default mode and the lock icon
will appear on all display screens.
Unlocking the Receiver
To unlock ULXP4 receiver frequency and output level settings, hold down the SET button and rotate the control knob one
detent left-right-left. The lock icon(s) will disappear, indicating that the receiver is unlocked. See Figure 44.
FIGURE 44
17
NOTE: If the volume control knob has been set to a level higher than the locked level, the output level will remain locked
and the Volume Level warning indicator will flash on the receiver display. See Figure 45. Rotate the volume control knob
counterclockwise until the Volume Level warning indicator stops flashing. This will unlock the output level setting.

TIPS FOR ACHIEVING OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE
S Maintain a line of sight between the transmitter and receiver antennas.
S Avoid placing transmitter and receiver where metal or other dense materials may be present.
S Avoid placing the receiver near computers or other RF generating equipment such as CD players, DAT machines, and
digital signal processors.
Avoid placing the receiver in the bottom of an equipment rack unless the antennas are remotely located.
Point the receiver antenna tips away from each other at a 45° angle, and keep them away from large metal objects.
Do not obstruct the receiver antennas.
Use the proper cable when remotely locating receiver antennas. For best performance, use Shure UA825 or UA850
low loss coaxial antenna cable, or 50 ohm low loss cable such as RG-8U.
S For remote antenna placement, use Shure UA820WB 1/2 Wave Antenna and UA830WB Active Remote Antenna Kits,
along with Shure UA844WB Antenna Distribution System .
S Mount diversity antennas at least 1/4 wave apart. This can be achieved by remote placement of one or both 1/2 wave
antennas using Shure UA825 or UA850 low loss coaxial cable and a Shure UA830WB Active Remote Antenna Kit in
conjunction with a Shure Antenna Distribution System. For multiple system installations, use the Shure UA844WB Antenna/Power Distribution System.

BATTERY LIFE
Shure recommends using only 9V alkaline or lithium batteries with ULX1 and ULX2 transmitters. Typical life expectancies
for the most common types of 9V batteries are listed in the tables below. For detailed information on battery performance,
contact your dealer or the Shure Service Department at 1-800-516-2525 (7:30 am to 4:00 pm, Central Standard Time). In
Europe, call 49-7131-72140; other international users call Shure in the U.S.A. at 847-866-2200.
NOTE: Batteries stored for more than a year or stored in excessively hot environments may experience a higher failure rate.
ULX Transmitters use a DC-to-DC converter, which require a minimum 6V to operate. It the battery does not provide this
threshold voltage, the transmitter will not operate.
