Fully insert the batteries as shown to ensure proper battery contact and to allow the door to latch securely.
Shure SB900-series lithium-ion batteries offer a rechargeable option for powering the transmitters. Batteries quickly charge to 50% capacity in one hour and reach full charge within three hours.
Single chargers and multiple bay chargers are available to recharge the Shure batteries. The SB900B rechargeable battery uses SBC200, SBC800 and SBC220 chargers.
Caution: Only charge Shure rechargeable batteries with a Shure battery charger.

The values in this table are typical of fresh, high quality batteries. Battery runtime varies depending on the manufacturer and age of the battery.
When using a Shure rechargeable battery, the receiver and transmitter home screens display the number of hours and minutes remaining.
Detailed information for the battery is displayed Battery menu of the transmitter:
Note: A Battery Hot warning indicates that transmitter battery needs to cool off. Otherwise, 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.
Proper care and storage of Shure batteries results in reliable performance and ensures a long lifetime.
Tip: For additional rechargeable battery information, visit www.shure.com.
Transmitters are compatible with the following AA battery types:
A 5-segment battery indicator representing the charge level of the transmitter battery is displayed on the screens of the transmitter and receiver. The following table contains the approximate remaining transmitter runtime in hours:minutes.

About
Displays the following transmitter information:
Reset All
Restores all transmitter parameters to factory settings.
Use IR Sync to form an audio channel between the transmitter and receiver.
Note: The receiver band must match the band of the transmitter.
Note:
Any change to the encryption status on the receiver (enabling/disabling encryption) requires a sync to send the settings to the transmitter. New encryption keys for the transmitter and receiver channel are generated on every IR sync, so to request a new key for a transmitter, perform an IR sync with the desired receiver channel.
The transmitter can be manually tuned to a specific group, channel, or frequency.
Firmware is embedded software in each component that controls functionality. Periodically, new versions of firmware are developed to incorporate additional features and enhancements. To take advantage of design improvements, you can upload and install new versions of the firmware by using the Shure Update Utility, available on the Shure Update Utility page.
When performing an update, first download firmware to the receiver, and then update transmitters to the same firmware version to ensure consistent operation.
The firmware numbering for Shure devices uses the following format: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (e.g., 1.2.14). At a minimum, all devices on the network (including transmitters), must have the same MAJOR and MINOR firmware version numbers (e.g., 1.2.x).
Tip: The red alignment LED will turn on when the alignment is correct.
Clip the transmitter to a belt or slide a guitar strap through the transmitter clip as shown.
For best results, the belt should be pressed against the base of the clip.
Tip: The clip can removed and rotated 180 degrees to increase mounting options.
RF Mute prevents transmission of the audio by suppressing the RF signal while allowing the transmitter to remain on. The home screen displays RF MUTED in this mode.
Turning the transmitter off and on or replacing the battery will restore Output to On.
Power on in Safe Start mode to prevent interference with other devices. Hold the exit button while powering on your device until the Safe Start menu appears.
Safe Start menu options:
Use the navigation buttons to make changes.
Tip: To exit the Safe Start menu, cycle the power or momentarily remove the battery.
Note: Previous settings for locks and RF will be retained when the transmitter is powered on in Safe Start.
The OVERLOAD message appears when the audio input experiences a high-level signal. The power LED turns red as an additional indicator of an overload. Reduce the input signal or enable the input pad to remove the overload condition.
Tip: To enable the input pad, navigate to and select -12 dB.
When linking two or more transmitters to a receiver, there may be a difference in volume levels between microphones or instruments. If this occurs, use the Offset function to match the audio levels and eliminate audible volume differences between transmitters. If using a single transmitter, set Offset to 0 dB.
The transmitter contains an internal tone generator that produces a continuous audio signal. The tone is helpful when conducting a sound check or for troubleshooting the audio signal chain. The level of the tone is adjustable from -60 dB to 0 dB and the frequency can be set to 400 Hz or 1000 Hz.
Tip: Always start with the level set to -60 dB to avoid overloading speakers or headphones.
Turn off the tone by selecting Off from the menu or by cycling the transmitter power.

Make sure that the receiver and transmitter are receiving sufficient voltage. Check the battery indicators and replace the transmitter batteries if necessary.
Adjust the system gain on the front of the receiver. Ensure the output level on the back of the receiver corresponds to the mic/line input setting of the mixing console, amplifier, or DSP.
Check that all cables and connectors are working correctly.
The transmitter and the receiver can be locked to prevent accidental or unauthorized changes. A locked feature or button will produce the Locked screen on the LCD panel or the lock icon will flash on a transmitter.
Re-sync all receivers and transmitters after enabling or disabling encryption.
Paired transmitters and receivers must have the same firmware version installed to ensure consistent operation. See Firmware topic for firmware update procedure.
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.
If neither blue RF Diversity LED is illuminated, then the receiver is not detecting the presence of a transmitter.
The orange RF Signal Strength LEDs indicate the amount of RF power being received. This signal could be from the transmitter, or it could be from an interfering source, such as a television broadcast. If more than two of the orange RF LEDs are still illuminated while the transmitter is off, then that channel may be experiencing interference, and you should try a different channel.
The red RF LED indicates RF overload. Overloads have the potential to cause interference in multiple system installations. If you are experiencing an overload, turn off the receiver to see if it is causing interference with other components.
The numerical channel select button also turns red to indicate interference.
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:
If you see the red RF LED on a receiver, try the following:
The Antenna Fault red LED indicates a short circuit condition or excessive load at an antenna port.
Clean the battery contacts with an electrical contact cleaner designed for gold contacts and safe on plastics.
