Applications
FCC Consumer Alert (U.S.)
Most users do not need a license to operate this wireless microphone system. Nevertheless, operating this microphone system without a license is subject to certain restrictions: the system may not cause harmful interference; it must operate at a low power level (not in excess of 50 milliwatts); and it has no protection from interference received from any other device. Purchasers should also be aware that the FCC is currently evaluating use of wireless microphone systems, and these rules are subject to change.
For more information, call the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC) or visit the FCC’s wireless microphone website at www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones.

Firmware
ULXD1/2 - Wireless Transmitter (1.7.34) See release notes
Posted December 10, 2015
RECOMMENDATION
Update all ULX-D devices in a configuration to the same firmware version
IMPROVEMENT
- Added new frequency band Z16 (1240 – 1260 MHz) for Japan
NOTES
- Fixed bug relating to encryption mismatch conditions.
- Fixed IR LED behavior when firmware updating transmitters.
-
Transmitters to be used with receivers must be updated via IR. After the receiver is updated, follow these steps:
- Go to the receiver menu: DEVICE UTILITIES > TX FW UPDATE
- Align the infrared ports with the transmitter
- Press ENTER.
-
When updating transmitter firmware via IR sync, please use caution to not lose IR connection, as it’s possible in rare occasions for upgrades from 1.5.6 or earlier to 1.6.6 or later to cause transmitters to temporarily become non-responsive. If the update fails and the unit is non-responsive, resolve the issue by following these steps:
- Using the Shure Update Utility, downgrade the firmware for the ULXD4/ULXD4D/ULXD4Q Receiver to 1.5.6 AND keep the desired transmitter firmware (1.6.6 or latest version).
- Update the transmitter firmware to 1.6.6 or the latest version via IR menu. From the receiver menu: DEVICE UTILITIES > TX FW UPDATE. Align the infrared ports with the transmitter and then press ENTER.
- Upgrade receiver to 1.6.6 or latest version.
-
For operation of ULX-D devices with other Shure networked systems, see the following list of minimum firmware versions that are supported with ULX-D version 1.7.34:
- QLX-D receiver 1.0.15
- UHF-R receiver 1.171
