GLXD4 Receiver Controls and Connectors 1 1 3 2 rf GLXD4 group + gain link channel - 9 8 7 6 5 4 Front Panel ① Antenna Two antennas per receiver. Antennas pick up the signal from the transmitter. ② RF Status LED • ON = Linked transmitter is on • Flashing = Searching for transmitter • OFF = Linked transmitter off or transmitter unlinked ③ Group Button Press and hold for two seconds to enable manual group edit.
Transmitters ① Antenna Carries wireless signal. ② Status LED LED color and state indicate transmitter status. 4 3 2 8 1 off on ③ Power Switch Turns the transmitter on/off. ④ TA4M Input Jack Connects to a 4-Pin mini connector (TA4F) microphone or instrument cable. GLXD2 on 3 5 ⑤ Micro USB Charging Port Connect to USB battery charger.
Batteries and Charging GLX-D transmitters are powered by Shure SB902 lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. Advanced battery chemistry maximizes runtimes with zero memory effects, eliminating the need to discharge batteries prior to charging. When not in use, recommended battery storage temperature is 10°C (50°F) to 25°C (77°F). Note: The transmitter will not pass RF or audio signals when connected to the charging cable.
Multiple Receiver Systems For ease of set up, available frequencies are divided into three groups based on the number of receivers supported. All receivers in the system must be set to the same group. To select a group, determine the total number of receivers in the system (channel count), and then select the appropriate group. Note: To maximize the number of receivers on-air, Group 3 does not offer backup frequencies.
2.4 GHz Spectrum Overview GLX-D operates within the 2.4GHz ISM band which is utilized by Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other wireless devices. The benefit of 2.4GHz is that it’s a global band that can be used anywhere in the world, license free. Overcoming the Challenges of 2.
Operation Gain Adjustment Use the gain buttons on the receiver to increase or decrease the gain of a linked transmitter: rf group • Turn on the linked transmitter and momentarily press the gain buttons to adjust the gain in 1 dB increments + IIIII IIII • For faster gain adjustments, press and hold the gain buttons IIIII IIII I gain - link channel Tip: Monitor the audio and observe the receiver audio meter level while adjusting the gain to prevent signal overload.
Troubleshooting Issue Indicator Status Solution No sound or faint sound Receiver RF LED on • Verify all sound system connections or adjust gain as needed (see Adjusting Gain). • Verify that the receiver is connected to mixer/amplifier. Receiver RF LED off • Turn on transmitter. • Make sure the batteries are installed correctly. • Link transmitter and receiver (see Linking topic). • Charge or change transmitter battery.
