Note: For additional rechargeable battery information, visit www.shure.com.
Important Tips for Care and Storage of Shure Rechargeable Batteries
Proper care and storage of Shure batteries results in reliable performance and
ensures a long lifetime. · Always store batteries and transmitters at room
temperature · Ideally, batteries should be charged to approximately 40% of
capacity for long-term storage · During storage, check batteries every 6
months and recharge to 40% of capacity as needed
Installing the Battery Contact Cover
Install the included battery contact cover (65A15947) on the handheld
transmitter to prevent light reflection in broadcast and performance
situations.
1. Align the cover as shown. 2. Slide the cover over the battery contacts
until it is flush with the transmitter body.
Note: Slide the cover off before inserting the transmitter in the battery
charger.
Setting Receiver Gain
The receiver gain control sets the audio signal level for the entire receiver
and transmitter system. Changes to the gain settings occur in realtime
allowing for adjustments during live performances. When adjusting the gain,
monitor the audio meter levels to prevent signal overloads.
23/64
Shure Incorporated
Receiver Gain Controls
The gain can be adjusted by using the gain buttons or by entering the AUDIO
menu and using the control wheel. Tip: To quickly adjust the gain, press and
hold a gain button to enable accelerated scrolling.
Reading the Audio Meter
The audio meter displays yellow, green, and red LEDs to indicate the audio
signal level. Audio peaks illuminate the LEDs for 2 seconds, while the RMS
signal is displayed in realtime. When setting up the receiver, adjust the gain
so that the average signal LED levels are solid green and occasionally yellow,
with only the highest peaks causing the red LED to illuminate.
Tip: If a vocalist is overloading a bodypack transmitter, try lowing the
receiver gain. If additional attenuation is needed, use the transmitter menu
to set the IN PUTPAD to -12dB. Note: Illumination of the red OL (overload) LED
indicates the internal limiter is engaged to prevent digital clipping.
Muting a Receiver Channel Audio Output
The audio output of each receiver channel can be independently muted to
prevent audio from passing. Mute status is indicated by RxMUTED message
appearing on the receiver display in place of the gain value.
Note: Receiver gain is disabled for muted channels to prevent unexpected
changes in audio levels.
To set a receiver channel output to mute: 1. AUDIO > MUTE 2. Use the control
wheel to select ON or OFF. 3. Press ENTER to save.
To unmute the receiver output: Simultaneously press the buttons or select OFF
from the MUTE menu option.
Tip: Audio mute can be enabled remotely from Wireless Workbench or from an
external controller.
Important! A power cycle will reset the receiver and unmute the audio output.
Transmitter Input Clip
The following warning displays on the receiver LCD panel when the transmitter
input is clipped:
24/64
Shure Incorporated
To correct, select INPUTPAD from the main menu and attenuate the input signal
by 12 dB. If the warning persists, reduce the level of input signal.
Audio Summing
Audio summing allows the dual and quad receivers to function as a 2 or 4
channel mixer, respectively. Summed audio is avail able on all outputs (Dante
and XLR). For example, when 1+2 is selected (see diagram), the outputs of
channels 1 and 2 sup ply the summed audio of the two channels.
Choosing an Audio Summing Mode
The following Audio Summing mode options are available:
To select an Audio Summing mode:
1. Menu: DEVICEUTILITIES > AUDIOSUMMING 2. Use the control wheel to select an
option, and then press Enter.
Note: When set to OFF, Audio Summing is disabled.
25/64
Shure Incorporated
Adjusting Gain for Summed Outputs
Use the gain controls for each channel to create the overall mix balance. The
front panel LEDs indicate the audio level for each channel. If an overload
occurs, the red LEDs will illuminate indicating that the internal limiter is
active and the display will show an overload message. To correct, adjust the
overall gain balance.
Receiver Output Level
The following table describes the typical total system gain from the audio
input to the receiver outputs:
Receiver Output Gain
Output Jack XLR (line setting) XLR (mic setting)
System Gain (gain control = 0dB) +24 dB -6 dB*
*This setting matches a typical wired SM58 audio signal level.
Scan and Sync
Use this procedure to tune a receiver and transmitter to the best open
channel.
Important! Before you begin:
Turn off all transmitters to prevent them from interfering with the frequency
scan.
Turn on any devices that might produce interference during the show so the
scan can detect and avoid them, including:
· Other wireless systems or devices · Computers · CD players · Large LED
panels · Effects processors
1. Press SEL to select a receiver channel. 2. Perform a group scan on the
receiver: SCAN > GROUPSCAN. 3. Press SCAN. While the scan is running, SCANNING
appears on the screen. 4. When the scan is done, the receiver displays the
group with the most available frequencies. Press the flashing ENTER
button to deploy frequencies to each receiver channel. 5. Power on the ULXD
transmitter. 6. Press the sync button on the receiver. 7. Align the IR windows
until the receiver IR port turns red.
Note: When complete, SYNCSUCCESS! appears. The transmitter and receiver are

A setup using networked receivers is the fastest and easiest way to distribute
the best open channel to each system. See Net working ULX-D Receivers for
networking details.
Note: Networked receivers must all be within the same frequency band.
Networked Receivers
1. Turn on all receivers. 2. Conduct a group scan on the first receiver to
find available frequencies in each group: SCAN > GROUPSCAN. 3. Press ENTER to
accept the group number and automatically assign the next best channel to each
receiver on the net
work. The receiver LEDs will flash when a frequency has been assigned. 4. Turn
on a transmitter and sync to the receiver.
Important! Leave the transmitter on and repeat this step for each additional
system.
Non-networked Receivers
1. Turn on all receivers. 2. Conduct a group scan on the first receiver to
find available frequencies in each group: SCAN > SCAN > GROUPSCAN >
SCAN 27/64
Shure Incorporated
3. When the scan is complete, use the control wheel to scroll through each
group. Press ENTER to select a group that has enough available frequencies for
all channels in the system.
4. Sync a transmitter to each receiver channel.
Important! Leave all transmitters on use the following steps to set up
additional receiver channels:
1. Set each additional receiver channel to the same group as the first
receiver: RADIO > G: 2. Conduct a channel scan to find available frequencies
within the group: SCAN > SCAN > CHANNELSCAN > SCAN 3. When the scan is
complete, press ENTER to assign frequencies to each receiver channel. 4. Sync
a transmitter to each receiver channel.
Manual Frequency Selection
To manually adjust group, channel, or frequency:
1. Press SEL to choose a receiver channel and navigate to the RADIO menu. 2.
Use the control wheel to adjust the group, channel, or frequency. 3. Press
ENTER to save changes.
RF
Transmitter RF Power
Reference the following table for setting RF Power:
RF Power Setting
System Range
1 mW
33 m (100 ft.)
10 mW
100 m (330 ft.)
20 mW
100 m (330 ft.)
Application For increased channel reuse at close distances
Typical setups For hostile RF environments or longdistance ap plications
Note: Using the 20 mW setting decreases the transmitter battery runtime and
reduces the number of compatible systems.
Interference Detection
Interference Detection monitors the RF environment for potential sources of
interference which can cause audio dropouts. When interference is identified,
the RF LEDs illuminate red and the following warning displays on the receiver
LCD panel. If the warning display persists or the audio drops out repeatedly,
perform a Scan and Sync at the first opportunity to find a clear frequency.

High Density Mode
High Density mode creates additional bandwidth for more channels in crowded RF
environments. Frequency efficiency is opti mized by running at 1 mW RF
transmit power and narrowing the modulation bandwidth, allowing for the
channel spacing to be reduced from 350 kHz to 125 kHz. Transmitters can be
positioned on adjacent channels with unsubstantial intermodulation dis tortion
(IMD). High Density mode is ideal for applications where many channels are
needed in a confined area, transmission distances are short, and the number of
available frequencies is limited. Up to 30 meters of range is available in
High Density mode.
Setting the Receiver to High Density Mode
To set the receiver to High Density mode: DEVICEUTILITIES > ADVANCEDRF >
HIGHDENSITY Use the control wheel to set HIGHDENSITY to ON. When prompted,
sync the transmitter and receiver to enable HIGHDENSITY mode.
Note: When the receiver is in HIGHDENSITY mode, the following indicators are
shown on the receiver display:
· The HD icon will appear on the receiver display · The receiver band name
will be shown with an “HD” added. (example: The G50 band will appear as G50HD)
· The transmitter group and channel are assigned letters instead of numbers
(example: G:AA CH:AA)
Best Practices for High Density Mode
· When band planning, position ULX-D High Density channels in a range of
frequencies separated from other devices. · Use a separate RF zone for ULX-D
High Density channels to prevent intermodulation distortion from other
devices. · During High Density channel scanning, turn on all other
transmitters and move them to their intended position. · Perform a walk test
to verify transmitter range · If using custom groups, the groups loaded into
the receiver must be compatible with High Density mode
Frequency Diversity
Frequency diversity is an advanced ULXD receiver feature that safeguards
against loss of audio signal caused by RF interfer ence or by power loss in a
transmitter. In frequency diversity mode, the signals from two transmitters
from a common audio source are routed to the outputs of 2 re ceiver channels.
In the event of interference or power loss, the audio from the good channel is
switched to both outputs to pre serve the audio signal. Switching between
channels is seamless and inaudible. When the receiver senses that the signal
quality has improved, audio routing is restored without interrupting the audio
signal.
Note: In Wireless Workbench, you can selectively lock the diversity audio
source to a specific transmitter. See “Lock or Unlock a Frequency Diversity
Channel” in the Wireless Workbench help system for more on this.
Best Practices for Frequency Diversity
· Use the same microphone type and model for each transmitter · Place
microphones within close proximity to the source · Use the gain controls to
match the output levels for each receiver channel · If audio summing is
active, use a Y-cable (Shure AXT652) to connect the bodypacks to a single
audio source to prevent
comb filtering

ENTER.
Note: Choose OFF to disable frequency diversity.
Frequency Diversity and Encryption
Enabling encryption while in frequency diversity mode provides an additional
layer of protection by only passing audio from the most recently synced
encrypted transmitter for each receiver channel.
Setting Regional TV Format
To ensure accurate display of TV channel information, set the TVFORMAT to
match the TV channel bandwidth in the region where the receiver is operating.
TV bandwidth varies globally, so check local regulations to determine the
regional TV band width. The following TVFORMAT options are available:

Audio Signal Encryption
When encryption is enabled, the receiver generates a unique encryption key
which is shared with a the transmitter during an IR sync. Transmitters and
receivers that share an encryption key form a protected audio path, preventing
unauthorized access from other receivers.
Note: For some units, encryption is always on and cannot be configured.
Encrypting a Single Transmitter to a Single Receiver
1. From the receiver menu: DEVICEUTILITIES > ENCRYPTION > ON(Auto) 2. Press
ENTER. 3. Perform an IR Sync to share the encryption key with the selected
transmitter.
Encrypting Multiple Transmitters to a Single Receiver
Multiple transmitters can share the same encryption key, allowing them access
to a single receiver. Use this method if you have multiple instruments or wish
to use a combination of handheld and bodypack transmitters.
1. From the receiver menu: DEVICEUTILITIES > ENCRYPTION > ON(Manual) >
KEEPKEYS. 2. Press ENTER. 3. Perform an IR Sync to share the encryption key
with the first transmitter. 4. Turn off the transmitter and perform an IR Sync
to share the key additional transmitters.
Caution! Make sure only one transmitter is turned on during an IR sync or a
performance to avoid causing cross interference between transmitters.
Regenerating Encryption Keys
Periodically regenerating the encryption key maintains security for
transmitters and receivers that are paired for extended peri ods.
1. From the receiver menu: DEVICEUTILITIES > ENCRYPTION > ON(Manual) >
REGENERATEKEYS. 2. Press ENTER. 3. Perform an IR Sync to share the encryption
key with the first transmitter. 4. Turn off the transmitter and perform an IR
Sync to share the key additional transmitters.
Caution! Make sure only one transmitter is turned on during an IR sync or a
performance to avoid causing cross interference between transmitters.
Removing Encryption
Note: For some units, encryption is always on and cannot be configured.
1. From the receiver menu: DEVICEUTILITIES ENCRYPTION OFF 2. Press ENTER. 3.
IR Sync the transmitter and receiver to clear the encryption key.
Note: If multiple transmitters are encrypted to a single receiver, each
transmitter must be IR synced to clear the encryption key.
RF Cascade Ports
The receiver has 2 RF cascade ports on the rear panel to share the signal from
the antennas with 1 additional receiver. Use a shielded coaxial cable to
connect the RF cascade ports from the first receiver to the antenna inputs of
the second receiv er.
Important! The frequency band must be the same for both receivers.

Networking ULX-D Receivers
ULX-D Dual and Quad receivers feature a Dante dual-port network interface.
Dante technology provides an integrated solution to distribute digital audio,
manage control signals, and carry Shure Control (WWB and AMX/Crestron)
signals. Dante uses standard IP over Ethernet and safely coexists on the same
network as IT and control data. Selectable Dante networking modes route port
signals for flexible network set up.
Network Control Software
You can remotely manage and monitor your ULXD receivers using Wireless
Workbench and monitor digital audio routing us ing the Dante Controller.
Signals for AMX and Crestron controllers are carried on the same network as
Shure Control.
Shure Control
Wireless Workbench (WWB) software provides comprehensive control for wireless
audio systems. Wireless Workbench en ables live remote adjustments to
networked receivers for real-time changes to gain, frequency, RF power, and
control locks. A familiar channel strip interface displays audio meters,
transmitter parameters, frequency settings and network status. Wireless
Workbench is available for Windows or Mac and can be downloaded at:
www.shure.com/wwb

online devices. Visit www.audinate.com for download and installation
instructions.
Dante Controller and Lock Settings
Version 2.4.X introduces support for Dante Device Lock for ULXD4D and ULXD4Q.
Dante Device Lock is a feature of Dante Controller that allows you to lock and
unlock supported Dante devices using a 4-digit PIN (Personal Identification
Number). When a device has a Dante lock turned on, Dante audio will continue
to flow according to existing subscriptions, but its sub scriptions and
settings can’t be controlled or configured. If you forget your Dante Device
Lock PIN, see the Device Lock section of the Dante Controller User Guide for
instructions on how to proceed.
Dante Domain Manager
Version 2.4.X introduces support for Dante Domain Manager (DDM) for ULXD4D and
ULXD4Q. DDM is network management software that enables user authentication,
role based security, and audit capabilities for Dante networks and Dante-
enabled products. Considerations for Shure devices controlled by DDM:
· When you add Shure devices to a Dante domain, leave the local controller
access setting in Read Write. Otherwise, ac cess to Dante settings, device
factory reset, and device firmware updates will be disabled.
32/64
Shure Incorporated
· When a device is managed by a Dante Domain and the Dante Domain is
disconnected, access to Dante settings, device factory reset and device
firmware updates will be disabled. When a device reconnects to the Dante
Domain, it follows the policy set for it in the Dante Domain.
See the Dante Domain Manager User Guide for more information.
IP Address Configuration
An IP address must be assigned to each device in the network to ensure
communication and control between components. Valid IP addresses can assigned
automatically using a DHCP server or manually from a list of valid IP
addresses. If using Dante audio, a separate Dante IP address must also be

Assigning Network Device IDs for Shure Control and Dante Control
When using the receiver in a network with Shure Control (Wireless Workbench)
and a Dante Controller, two Device IDs are re quired: one for Shure Control
and one for Dante Control. Device IDs are used to identify devices on the
network and for creat ing Dante digital audio routes.
Best Practices
Using the following best practices will help to organize network setup and
ease troubleshooting. · For consistency, convenience, and easy
troubleshooting, use the same device ID for both Wireless Workbench (Shure
Control) and for the Dante network. · The Dante network requires unique Dante
device IDs to prevent a loss of audio signal routing. Any duplicate IDs on the
network will be tagged with a number such as -1, -2, -3, etc…. and must be
changed to a unique value. · Wireless Workbench (Shure Control) does not
require unique device IDs and duplicates do not affect the Dante network;
however, a best practice is to use unique device IDs.
Setting the Shure Control Device ID
1. Launch Wireless Workbench. 2. In the inventory, double-click the device ID
to edit it. Tip: Click the device icon next to the channel name flash the
front panel and identify the receiver.
40/64
Shure Incorporated
You can also update the Shure control device ID from the receiver front panel:
1. From the receiver menu: DEVICEUTILITIES > NETWORK > SHURECONTROL > Dev.ID
2. Use the control wheel to edit the ID. 3. Press ENTER to save.
Creating a Dante Device ID
There are two ways to create a Dante ID:
1. Enter the ID using the receiver menu. 2. Enter the ID using a keyboard
from the Dante controller.
If entering IDs from the receiver menu, additional ID modes are available for
quickly adding sequential numbering to multiple receivers or adding a prefixes
for network discovery by Dante enabled Yamaha mixing consoles.
Note: Changing the Dante ID will cause a loss of audio signal. After an ID has
been changed, use the Dante controller to restore audio route subscriptions us
ing the new ID.
Setting the Device ID from the receiver menu:
1. DEVICEUTILITIES > NETWORK > DANTE > Dev.ID 2. Use the control wheel to
select an IDMODE:
Off: Manually enter an ID by using the control wheel. Press ENTER to save.
Sequential: Adds a 3-digit numerical prefix to the receiver model name to
create the device ID. (ex: 001-Shure-
ULXD). Use the control wheel to increment the prefix value. Press ENTER to
save. Yamaha: Adds a prefix starting with “Y” followed by 3-digits to the
receiver model name to create a device ID that
allows Dante enabled Yamaha mixing consoles to discover ULX-D receivers on a
Dante network. (ex: Y001-ShureULXD). Use the control wheel to increment the
prefix numerical value. Press ENTER to save.
Entering the Device ID from the Dante controller:
1. Open the DeviceView and select the receiver from the pulldown menu. 2.
Click on the DeviceConfig tab. 3. Enter the ID in the RenameDevice box and
press ENTER.
Viewing Dante Device IDs in the Dante Controller
Dante device IDs are displayed in the NetworkView window in the Dante
Controller. 1. Launch the Dante controller and open the NetworkView window. 2.
Verify that the Dante device IDs match the IDs entered in the receiver.
Identify Device Feature
The Dante controller’s Identify Device feature flashes the front panel LEDs of
a selected receiver to provide identification when multiple receivers are in
use. Open the DeviceView in the Dante controller and click on the identify
icon (eye). The front panel LEDs of the selected receiver will respond by
flashing.
Configuring Audio Routes with the Dante Controller
Devices that appear in the Dante controller are categorized as “Transmitters”
and “Receivers” In order for audio to flow in the network, audio routes
(subscriptions) must be configured between transmitters and receivers.
Note: ULX-D receivers will appear in the Dante controller as a Transmitter.
Devices that have both inputs and outputs commonly appear as both transmitters
and receivers.
41/64
Shure Incorporated
Dante Transmitters
Devices that send or add audio into the network such as:
· Receiver Outputs · Amplifier Outputs · Mixer Outputs · Signal Processor
Outputs · Recorder Playback Outputs
Dante Receivers
Devices that receive audio from the network such as:
· Amplifier Inputs · Mixer Inputs · Signal Processor Inputs · Recorder Inputs
Forming an Audio Route
Launch the Dante Controller and click on the intersection point between
components to form an audio route. The audio route is also referred to as a
Subscription.
1. Find the intersection between the transmitter and receiver channels.
2. Click on the
where the components meet.

additional features and enhancements. To take advantage of design
improvements, new versions of the firmware can be uploaded and installed using
the Shure Update Utility tool available on the Shure Update Utility page.
Firmware Versions
When updating receiver firmware, update transmitters to the same firmware
version to ensure consistent operation. The firmware of all ULX-D devices has
the form of MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (e.g., 1.2.14). At a minimum, all ULX-D devices
on the network (including transmitters), must have the same MAJOR and MINOR
firmware version numbers (e.g., 1.2.x).
Updating the Receiver
CAUTION! Ensure that receiver power and network connections are maintained
during a firmware update. Do not turn off the receiver until the update is
complete. IMPORTANT! Receivers running firmware prior to 1.4.8 must be updated
to 1.4.8 before updating to newer versions. Re ceivers running firmware
between 1.4.8 and 2.0.28 must be updated to 2.0.28 before updating to newer
versions. See the ULX-D Firmware Update and Issues FAQ for more information on
this update procedure. Once the download is complete, the receiver
automatically begins the firmware update, which overwrites the existing
firmware.
1. Open the Shure Update Utility. 2. Click the Check for Updates button (for
example, 5UpdatesAvailable) to view new firmware versions available to down
load. 3. Select the updates and click Download. The new downloads are added to
the Firmware tab, making them available to
install on the device hardware. 4. Connect the receiver and computer to the
same network. 5. If your receiver has firmware older than 2.0.28 installed on
it, refer to the ULX-D Firmware Update and Issues FAQ for
specific instructions. 6. From the UpdateDevices tab, send the latest firmware
to the receiver.
44/64
Shure Incorporated
Once the transfer is complete, the receiver automatically begins the firmware
update, which overwrites the existing firmware. For more information on the
Shure Update Utility, visit the Shure Update Utility user guide.
Updating the Transmitter
1. Place the transmitter on a microphone or music stand, and roughly align
the stand so that the transmitter’s IR window can be aligned with the

2. To upload the firmware to the transmitter, go to DEVICEUTILITIES >
TXFWUPDATE on the receiver. 3. Align the IR ports. 4. Press ENTER on the
receiver to begin the download to the transmitter. IR ports must be aligned
for the entire down
load, which can take 50 seconds or longer.
Connecting to an External Control System
The ULX-D receiver is compatible with external control systems such as AMX or
Crestron via the Ethernet, using on the same cables used to carry Shure
Control (Wireless Workbench). Use only one controller per system to avoid
messaging conflicts.
· Connection: Ethernet (TCP/IP; ULX-D receiver is the client) · Port: 2202 For
a comprehensive list of ULX-D command strings, see the Shure ULX-D command
string FAQ page.
Setting the Gateway to Allow Cross Subnet Routing
ULX-D receivers include gateway addressing to support cross-subnet routing.
The gateway setting allows a single controller to manage devices assigned to
different subnets such as multiple rooms or multiple buildings.

unauthorized changes. A locked feature or button will produce the Locked
screen on the LCD panel.
Encryption Mismatch
Re-sync all receivers and transmitters after enabling or disabling encryption.
46/64
Shure Incorporated
Firmware Mismatch
Paired transmitters and receivers must have the same firmware version
installed to ensure consistent operation. See the Firmware topic for firmware
update procedure.
Tx Battery Hot
If the transmitter battery does not cool off, the transmitter will shut down.
Let the device cool down and then consider swapping the transmitter battery to
continue operation. Identify any possible external heat sources to the
transmitter and operate the transmitter away from those external heat sources.
All batteries should be stored and operated away from external heat sources in
reasonable temperature conditions for best performance.
Radio Frequency (RF)
RF LEDs
If neither blue RF Diversity LED is illuminated, then the receiver is not
detecting the presence of a transmitter. The amber RF Signal Strength LEDs
indicate the amount of RF power being received. This signal could be from the
transmit ter, or it could be from an interfering source, such as a television
broadcast. If more than one or two of the amber RF LEDs are still illuminated
while the transmitter is off, then that channel has too much interference, and
you should try a differ ent channel. The red RF LED indicates RF overload.
This will usually not cause a problem unless you are using more than one
system at the same time, in which case, it can cause interference in the other
system.
Compatibility
· Perform a Scan and Sync to ensure the transmitter and receiver are set to
the same group and channel. · Look at the label on the transmitter and
receiver to make sure they are in the same band (G50, J50, L50, etc…).
Reducing Interference
· Perform a group or channel scan to find the best open frequency. Perform a
sync to transfer the setting to the transmitter. · For multiple systems, check
that all systems are set to channels in the same group (systems in different
bands do not
need to be set to the same group). · Maintain a line of sight between
transmitter and receiver antennas. · Move receiver antennas away from metal
objects or other sources of RF interference (such as CD players, computers,
digital effects, network switches, network cables and Personal Stereo Monitor
(PSM) wireless systems). · Eliminate RF overload (see below).
Increasing Range
If the transmitter is more than 6 to 60 m (20 to 200 ft) from the receiver
antenna, you may be able to increase range by doing one of the following:
· Reduce interference (see above). · Increase transmitter RF power level. ·
Use Normal mode instead of High Density mode. · Use an active directional
antenna, antenna distribution system, or other antenna accessory to increase
RF range.
47/64
Eliminating RF Overload
If you see the red RF LED on a receiver, try the following:
· Reduce the transmitter RF power level · Move the transmitter further away
from the receiver–at least 6 m (20 ft) · If you are using active antennas,
reduce antenna or amplifier gain. · Use omnidirectional antennas
Antenna Faults
The AntennaFault message indicates a short circuit condition at an antenna
port.
· Check antennas and cables for damage · Ensure that antenna ports are not
overloaded · Check antenna bias voltage setting. Turn off voltage if using
passive antennas.
