Multiple System Setup
Up
to
12 systems can operate simultaneously (band and RF environment dependent).
Important: Set
up
each system one-at-a-time. Once a receiver and transmitter are tuned
to
the same group and channel,
leave the transmitter powered
on
. Otherwise, scans from the other receivers
will
not
detect that channel
as
occupied. For
the BLX88, be sure
to
setup both transmitters before progressing
to
the next receiver.
Turn on any other equipment that could cause interference during the performance so it will be detected during the group
and channel scans in the following steps.
Before you begin system
set
up, turn all receivers ON and all transmitters OFF.
For the first receiver:
1. Perform a group scan.
This finds the group with the most clear channels.
Note: For the BLX88, the group scan sets
up
both receivers at
the
same time.
2. Turn on the first transmitter and change the group and channel to match receiver.
3. Leave the transmitter on and continue with the additional systems.
Note: If the selected group does
not
contain enough open channels, manually select group "
d"
when setting
up
larger
systems.
For each additional receiver:
1.
Use
manual setup
to
change the receiver
to
match the group setting of the first receiver. Recall that each time the
group setting is changed, a channel scan is automatically done.
2. Turn on the transmitter and change the group
and
channel to match the receiver.
3. Leave the transmitter
on
and continue
to
the next system.
4. Once all receivers are set
up
, perform an audio check on all microphones.
Manually Setting Receiver Group and Channel
The receiver group may need to
be
changed
as
part
of
a multiple system setup.
Group (letter)
1. Hold the
group
button on the receiver until the display begins to flash.
2. While the display is flashing, press the
group
button again
to
advance
to
the
next
group.
Note: Only the group setting will be displayed during the manual setup.
3. Once the desired group
is
reached, release
the
group
button. The receiver automatically performs a channel scan.
Channel (number)
Always use a channel selected
by
the channel scan. However,
if
necessary, the channel can be
set
manually. Follow the
same steps above using the
channel
button instead
of
the
group
button.
Locking and Unlocking Controls
Lock system controls to prevent accidental setting changes
or
power off.
Transmitter (lock/unlock)
Turn the transmitter on. Hold the
group
button, then press
the
channel
button for approximately 2 seconds.
The
LED indicator rapidly flashes red when locked.
Receiver (lock/unlock)
Turn the receiver on. Simultaneously hold the
group
and
channel
button. The
disp
lay flashes rapidly.
When locked,
the
display flashes rapidly if any key
is
pressed.
The BLX88 locks on both sides when locked from
either side.
