Sec tion 6 - Guide lines for Best Performance
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 REV is avail able in four US fre quency bands,
C1, C2, C3, C5. 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 REV 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 REV fac tory set groups are de signed to work
to gether, so if chan nels from just one group are used, no fur -
ther co or di na tion is required.
Con tact your dealer or Telex for as sis tance if you are plan -
ning more than 12 sys tems or us ing the REV with other wire -
less equip ment.
AL WAYS RE MEM BER: SAME GROUP, DIF FER ENT
CHAN NEL.
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 12 fre quen -
cies. The smaller the pre set group, the more com pat i ble
the fre quen cies are.
IM POR TANT NOTE: Lo trans mit power must be used for
fac
tory pre
set groups of 16 units work
ing si
mul
ta
-
neously.
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
ClearScan 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
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, con tact your dealer
or Telex for as sis tance in choos ing ad di tional frequencies.
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-ef -
fects 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 devices to minimize potential problems.
An a log and Dig i tal Tele vi sion sta tions can also in ter fere with
your wire less sys tem. The REV is de signed to op er ate over
24MHz of RF band
width, which cov
ers four TV chan
nels.
The fac tory pre sets on the REV are op ti mized for con di tions
where one, two, or pos si bly three of the four sta tions 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 using a different band.
Bat tery Rec om men da tions
Fresh 9-volt or AA Lith ium-Iron bat ter ies from 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 tional time.
When the REV-BP or REV-PH 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 dur ing use, it may be the re sult of a
weakening battery.
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, the po si tion of the re ceiver/an -
ten nas are 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 (see
An tenna Con nec tions -
page 6).
