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 847-600-2000. NOTE: Batteries stored for more than a year or stored in excessively hot environments may experience a higher failure rate. NOTE: When using rechargeable batteries, do not use any battery with a fully-charged rating of greater than 9v, for example, 9.6V ULX Transmitters use a DC-to-DC converter, which require a minimum 6 V to operate. It the battery does not provide this threshold voltage, the transmitter will not operate.

INDICATOR STATUS PROBLEM RECEIVER ULXS4 ULX4P SOLUTIONS TRANSMITTER ULX1 ULX2 • • • • • No sound • • • • • • • No sound or faint • • Slide transmitter POWER switch to ON. Make sure battery is inserted properly (+/– battery terminals must match transmitter terminals). Insert fresh battery. Make sure receiver AC adapter is securely plugged into electrical outlet and into DC input connector on rear panel of receiver. Make sure AC electrical outlet works and supplies proper voltage. Make sure receiver is plugged in and the Power switch is in the ON position Make sure transmitter and receiver are set to same frequency Extend receiver antennas so that they point away from each other at a 45° angle from vertical. Move receiver away from nearby metal objects. Remove obstructions and maintain line of sight between transmitter and receiver. Move transmitter closer to receiver. Increase transmitter gain until the Audio Peak icon on the Transmitter flashes on loud peaks. Turn up receiver volume control Check cable connection between receiver and amplifier or mixer. INDICATOR STATUS PROBLEM RECEIVER ULXS4 ULX4P SOLUTIONS TRANSMITTER ULX1 ULX2 Sound level from the receiver is different from that of a cabled guitar or microphone. • • Adjust transmitter gain as necessary. Adjust receiver volume as necessary. Sound level is different when you change guitars. • Adjust transmitter gain to compensate for differences when you change between guitar output levels. Distortion increases gradually. • Replace transmitter battery. 25 Bursts of noise, distortion, or other radio performance. • If noise occurs when transmitter is turned off, locate and remove nearby RF sources, such as other wireless systems, • signals interrupt CB radios, etc. Change the wireless systems’ operating frequency. Momentary loss of sound as transmitter is moved around performing area (dropouts) • Reposition receiver and perform walk-through test. If audio moved around dropouts persist, mark “dead” spots and avoid them during performing area performance. (dropouts).
