5.2. Accensione e spegnimento

  • Per accendere, tieni premuto il pulsante di accensione finché il display non si illumina.
  • Per spegnere, tenere premuto il pulsante di accensione fino allo spegnimento del display.

5.3. Linking to a Receiver

The ULXD2 transmitter must be linked to a compatible Shure ULX-D receiver to operate. Refer to your ULX-D receiver's manual for detailed linking instructions. Generally, this involves:

  1. Performing a scan on the receiver to find an open frequency.
  2. Syncing the transmitter to the receiver via infrared (IR) sync. Align the IR windows on both devices and initiate the sync process from the receiver.

6. Istruzioni per l'uso

6.1. Display e navigazione

The ULXD2 features an LCD display and navigation buttons (Enter, Exit, Up, Down) to access and adjust settings. The display shows critical information such as frequency, group/channel, battery status, and gain settings.

6.2. Regolazione del guadagno

The ULXD2 transmitter utilizes Shure Gain Ranging, which automatically optimizes the system's dynamic range. This feature typically eliminates the need for manual gain adjustments on the transmitter itself. For fine-tuning audio levels, adjustments should primarily be made on the connected ULX-D receiver or mixing console.

6.3. Crittografia

The ULXD2 supports AES 256-bit encryption for secure transmission. Encryption is enabled and managed through the ULX-D receiver. When encryption is active, the transmitter and receiver must be properly paired with the same encryption key. Consult your receiver's manual for details on enabling and managing encryption.

7. Manutenzione

7.1. Pulizia

  • Utilizzare un panno morbido e asciutto per pulire la parte esterna del trasmettitore.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
  • For the microphone grille, gently remove any debris. The Beta 58A grille can often be unscrewed for cleaning the foam windscreen inside.

7.2. Cura della batteria

  • Always use genuine Shure Lithium-Ion batteries for optimal performance and safety.
  • Charge batteries using a compatible Shure charger (sold separately).
  • Conservare le batterie in un luogo fresco e asciutto quando non vengono utilizzate.
