8.If you are using multiple systems, use the same scan group for all receivers. After completing the first receiver’s scan and frequency selections, set its transmitters to the appropriate frequencies (see How to Set Frequencies on your Transmitter, page 12 ); leave the transmitters On, and run the next receiver’s automatic scan function. Always set a receiver-transmitter pair to the same frequency before using the automatic scan function to select frequencies for the next receiver.

In the event that no more free frequencies are available within the scan group, the receiver will indicate “END” on the receiver display. In this case, select a different scan group for both Receiver Channels 1 and 2 and re-scan.
