TIPS FOR ACHIEVING OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE
Maintain a line of sight between the transmitter and receiver antennas.
Avoid placing transmitter and receiver where metal or other dense materials may be present.
Avoid placing the receiver near computers or other RF generating equipment such as CD players, DAT machines, and
digital signal processors.
Avoid placing the receiver in the bottom of an equipment rack unless the antennas are remotely located.
Point the receiver antenna tips away from each other at a 45° angle, and keep them away from large metal objects.
Do not obstruct the receiver antennas.
Use the proper cable when remotely locating receiver antennas. For best performance, use Shure UA825 or UA850
low loss coaxial antenna cable, or 50 ohm low loss cable such as RG-8U.
For remote antenna placement, use Shure UA820WB 1/2 Wave Antenna and UA830WB Active Remote Antenna Kits,
along with Shure UA844WB Antenna Distribution System.
Mount diversity antennas at least 1/4 wave apart. This can be achieved by remote placement of one or both 1/2 wave
antennas using Shure UA825, UA850, or UA8100 low loss coaxial cable and a Shure UA830WB Active Remote
Antenna Kit in conjunction with a Shure Antenna Distribution System. For multiple system installations, use the Shure
UA844WB Antenna/Power Distribution System.
Try to maintain a distance of at least 5 meters (15 ft) between the transmitter and receiver.
