Ch 1 / Ch 2 -> Scan / Auto Setup menu item

The receiver lets you scan the frequency spectrum and display all of the free frequencies in the selected frequency range. The automatic frequency setup can be used to distribute the free frequencies to all of the EW-DX EM 2 Dante devices available in the network automatically.

Switch off all transmitters before you perform the scan.
If transmitters are still switched on, they are detected as unavailable frequencies and the frequencies that are actually available cannot then be used.

To perform the automatic frequency setup for all devices in the network, the Auto Setup function must be enabled in the receiver’s system menu: System -> Auto Setup menu item
An EM that is performing one of the following actions will be excluded from the frequency setup of another EM:
- Remote (full) scan
- Scan Me / Scan Network -> Autosetup
- Bonding
- TX Sync
- TX Update
- Device Update (if in progress)

To open the Scan / Auto Setup menu item:

In the menu, navigate to the Scan / Auto Setup menu item for the desired channel.
Press the jog dial to open the menu.
The following view is displayed:
Turn the jog dial to choose between the Scan Me and Scan Network options.
- Scan Me: The frequency scan and the frequency setup are performed only for the selected receiving channel.
- Scan Network: The frequency scan and the frequency setup are performed for both channels of the receiver as well as for all other receivers available in the network.
Press the jog dial to open your selected option.
Select a frequency from which to start the scan.
Press the jog dial to start the scan.
The spectrum is scanned for free frequencies above the selected frequency.

After the scan free frequencies are displayed, which you can then assign to the channels.
Press the jog dial to assign the free frequencies to the receiving channels.
Or
Press the ESC key to cancel and not assign new frequencies.
Next, synchronize the receiving channels with the corresponding transmitters to establish the radio link at the new selected frequencies (Synchronizing the receiver and transmitter).
