Modes of Operati on

Tempest MasterBelts oﬀ er three modes of operati on:

Normal

Shared

, and

Split

Mode. The mode of operati on can be set by

going into menu mode on the MasterBelt. Press MENU, select Mode Setti ngs>OP Mode and choose from one of the three

modes.

Note: In additi on to the MasterBelt, the BeltStati ons must be in “Shared” mode to use with either Shared or Split modes of operati on.

Normal Mode

In Normal mode, users can have up to 5 BeltStati ons (per MasterBelt). All BeltStati ons in this mode are in the standard

operati ng mode, giving the user control of the channels on which they operate and dual listen/talk functi onality at any

given ti me.

Each BeltStati on has dedicated anyti me talk back capability.

BeltStati on talk butt ons may be operated in either momentary or

latching mode.

Sidetone may be set individually for each BeltStati on from -6dB to

-30dB.

Full BeltStati on telemetry is available real-ti me at the MasterBelt;

these setti ngs cannot be adjusted from the MasterBelt.

Shared Mode

The Shared mode uti lizes only BeltStati ons set into “shared” mode via the BeltStati on menu. This mode allows an unlimited

number of BeltStati ons to listen, but only 5 shared BeltStati ons can talk (in momentary mode) at any given ti me; however,

they can control the channels in which they operate.

BeltStati ons are inherently full duplex, push-to-talk (talk/listen at the

same ti me); “Shared BeltStati ons” are physically no diﬀ erent than a

normal BeltStati on.

Shared BeltStati ons operate in momentary talk mode; no more than 5

talk paths may be used at any given ti me.

Each BeltStati on is capable of features such as Stage Announce,

Wireless ISO, and Relays; however, each acti on uti lizes one of the fi ve

available talk paths so long as it is triggered.

Shared BeltStati ons are unable to provide telemetry to the MasterBelt.

Volume of the BeltStati on that is acti vely talking is dynamically

reduced to minimize the eﬀ ect of echo.
