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 RE-2 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 RE-2 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 RE-2 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 RE-2
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
TM
Be cause all of the chan nels in the fac tory set groups are com --
pat i ble, Ad vanced ClearScan
TM
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 ClearScan
TM
All 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
TM
Group. 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, contact 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 tal sig nal pro ces sors
(re verb/multi-effects 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 RE-2 is de signed to op er ate over 24
MHz of RF band width, which cov ers four TV chan nels. The
fac tory pre sets on the RE-2 are op ti mized for conditions
where one or pos si bly two of the four stations are cov ered in
your area. If three of the four 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 RE-2 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 an APD4 an tenna split ter.
