for Best Per for mance
Com pat i bil ity
The trans mit ter and re ceiver must be of the same
fre quency band and set to the same group and chan -
nel in or
der to work to gether. The FMR-500 is
avail able in two fre quency bands, A and B. The
band in for ma tion is avail able in the Group/Chan nel
edit screen on the re ceiver, the bot tom la bel on the
handheld trans mit ter, and on the back panel la bel on
the bodypack.
Us ing Mul ti ple Wire less Sys tems
If two or more FMR-500 sys tems and/or other
UHF/VHF wire less sys tems are be ing used in the
same lo ca tion, proper fre quency co or di na tion is
nec es sary to avoid in ter fer ence. All chan nels in the
FMR-500 fac tory set groups are de signed to work
together, so if chan nels from just one group are used
no fur
ther coordination is re quired. Con tact your
dealer or Telex for as sis tance if you are plan ning
more sys
tems or us ing the FMR-500 with other
wire less equip ment.
IM POR TANT NOTE: Al ways use the
small est pre set group that meets your
needs. For in stance, if you want to set up
6 units, use one of the groups of 8 fre
-
quen cies. The smaller the pre set group,
the more com pat i ble the fre quen cies are.
Mul ti ple Sys tems
and Ad vanced ClearScan
Be cause all of the chan nels in the fac tory set groups
are com pat i ble, Ad vanced ClearScan can be used to
set up mul
ti ple sys tems quickly and with con fi -
dence. When set ting up more than one sys tem, set
up the first sys
tem us ing the Auto-ClearScan TM
func tion.
Once the work ing Group has been es tab lished,
leave the first trans mit ter on, set the next re ceiver
Group to the work ing Group and run ClearScan for
Chan nels. This will pro vide the next clear est chan -
nel in that group. Set the trans mit ter to match, leave
it on and re peat un til all the sys tems are set up. If
you run out of clear chan nels in one group but need
to set up more sys tems, con tact your dealer or Telex
for as sis tance in choos ing ad di tional fre quen cies.
Po ten tial Sources of In ter fer ence
There are many po ten tial sources of in ter fer ence for
your wire
less sys tem. Any elec tronic prod uct
that con tains dig i tal cir cuitry in clud ing dig i -
t a l s i g n a l p r o c es s o r s ( r e v e r b /mu l t i -e ffects
units), elec tronic key boards, dig i tal light ing con trol -
lers, CD and DVD play ers, and com put ers, all emit
RF en ergy that can ad versely af fect the per for mance
of your wire less sys tem. It is al ways best to place
the re ceiver as far away as pos si ble from these de -
vices to min i mize po ten tial prob lems.
An a log and Dig i tal Tele vi sion stations can also in -
ter fere with your wire less sys tem. The FMR-500 is
de signed to op er ate over 28 MHz of RF band width,
which cov ers six TV chan nels. The fac tory pre sets
on the FMR-500 are op ti mized for conditions where
one, two, or pos si bly three of the six stations are
cov ered in your area. If four or more of the six sta -
tions are used in your area, it will se verely limit the
num
ber of sys tems that will op er ate to gether and
you should be us ing a dif fer ent band.
Bat tery Rec om men da tions
Fresh 9-volt al ka line bat ter ies form a qual ity man u -
fac turer will yield the best per for mance from your
trans mit ters. Re charge able 8.4-volt Ni-Cad bat ter ies
can be used but will re sult in much shorter op er a -
tion time.
When the trans mit ters are turned on, the red bat tery
LED will flash once if the bat tery is good. If the
light does not light or stays lit con tin u ously, the bat -
tery is weak or dead. If the light co mes on dur ing
use, the bat
tery is weak en ing and should be re -
placed as soon as pos si ble. If sound qual ity de -
grades during use, it may be the re sult of a
weak en ing bat tery.
Cau tion: The bat tery level in di ca tors, on the
trans mit ters and re ceiver dis plays, are based on
the use of al ka line bat ter ies. Use of other bat tery
types will re sult in false read ings on these in di ca -
tors al though the bat tery low LED on the trans -
mit ters will op er ate nor mally.
Re ceiver and An tenna Place ment
Do not place the re ceiver near a large metal ob ject
or sur face. Lo cate the re ceiver as close as pos si ble
to the area where the trans mit ter will be used. Ide -
ally, po si tion the re ceiver/an ten nas within sight of
the trans mit ter. When us ing mul ti ple sys tems, do
not al low an ten nas to cross or touch each other. For
best re sults with mul ti ple re ceiv ers, use a UAD-2
an tenna split ter. (See Sec tion 7).
