Notiz: The SBC203-US is designed for Shure SB903 Lithium-Ion batteries. Using non-Shure rechargeable batteries may not be compatible or may cause issues.

3.3 Initial Frequency Setup (for SLX-D Receivers)

Before using your SLX-D system, it is crucial to set up the frequencies. This process ensures optimal performance and avoids interference.

1. Turn on the SLX-D receiver. Ensure all transmitters are OFF.
2. Navigieren Sie am Receiver mit dem Drehknopf zu Frequency Setup > Guided Frequency Setup > Initialize My System.
3. Follow the on-screen prompts to scan for available frequencies.
4. Once the scan is complete, the receiver will assign a clear frequency.

3.4 Adding Additional Receivers

If you are expanding your SLX-D system with additional receivers, they can be easily integrated.

1. Connect the new receiver to the existing system using an Ethernet cable (if applicable for network control).
2. Turn on the new receiver. Ensure all transmitters are OFF.
3. On the primary receiver, navigate to Frequency Setup > Guided Frequency Setup > Add Receiver to My System.
4. Follow the on-screen prompts to integrate the new receiver into the system's frequency group.

4. Bedienung

4.1 Charging Transmitters and Batteries

1. Ensure the SBC203-US docking station is powered on.
2. Insert an SB903 Lithium-Ion battery directly into a charging bay, or place an SLX-D handheld or bodypack transmitter with an installed SB903 battery into a bay.
3. The charging indicator LED for that bay will blink red while charging.
4. The LED will turn solid green when the battery or transmitter is fully charged.
5. Charging automatically stops when full. It is recommended to remove fully charged batteries/transmitters from the dock to prevent slow discharge over time.

4.2 Syncing Transmitters with Receivers

After initial setup or if a transmitter needs to be re-synced:

1. Turn on the transmitter you wish to sync.
2. Drücken Sie am Empfänger die Taste Synchronisieren Taste.
3. Align the IR ports of the transmitter and receiver (usually indicated by an IR window on both devices).
4. Hold them together until the receiver confirms successful synchronization.
