To improve coverage, adjust the location of your access points or place additional access points to extend coverage.

To activate the ShowLink Test:

From the 

Device Configuration

 menu, navigate to 

SL Test

.

Press the O

 button to start the test and walk the transmitter around the coverage area. Monitor the number of bars dis­

played and the state of the ShowLink icon. Coverage boundaries are indicated by 0 bars displayed or the ShowLink 

icon is empty.

Press the X button to exit the ShowLink test.

During a ShowLink test, press O to drop a marker in Wireless Workbench.

Assigning Transmitters to Transmitter Slots

Each receiver channel contains 8 transmitter slots to control the RF signals passed by the receiver. Transmitters can be as­

signed to the channel slots or "registered" with the receiver.

For added protection from interference, the receiver will issue a warning or block signals from any transmitters that aren't regis­

tered.

To assign a transmitter to a receiver channel:

From the Channel menu, go to 

Tx Slots

.

Use the arrow buttons to scroll to an available transmitter slot. If the slot is occupied, syncing will overwrite the existing 

transmitter.

Use the arrow buttons to select Sync and press O.

When the sync is complete, the transmitter will be assigned to the slot. The transmitter will remain assigned to the slot until it is 

unlinked. To remove a transmitter from a slot, use the arrow buttons to select the slot. Then, use the arrow buttons to select 

Unlink and press O.

Frequency Diversity

Frequency diversity enables seamless, uninterrupted audio for mission-critical applications. Frequency diversity works by 

transmitting the audio on two independent frequencies from an ADX2FD handheld transmitter or from two AD/ADX series 

transmitters.

When operated in Frequency Diversity mode, the receiver uses two frequencies to provide a single channel of audio. If one fre­

quency experiences interference, the audio from the other frequency is used to prevent dropouts or interruption of the audio.

Using frequency diversity in conjunction with interference detection provides an additional layer of protection for the audio sig­

nal.

From the channel menu: 

Advanced

 > 

Frequency

Diversity

.

Choose one of the following frequency diversity modes:

Combining: For use with a single ADX2FD handheld transmitter

Selection: For use with a pair of AD1 or ADX1 series transmitters

Press O to save.

Perform an IR sync between the receiver and the transmitters.
