Modes of Operati on

Tempest Wireless BaseStati ons off er 3 modes of operati on: Normal, Shared, and Split Mode. The mode of operati on can

be set by going into menu mode on the BaseStati on. Press MENU and select “Mode Setti ngs,” then “Operati onal Mode.”

Note: In additi on to the BaseStati on, the BeltStati ons must be set into “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

BaseStati on). 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

BaseStati on and T-Desk; these setti ngs can be adjusted

from the BaseStati on and/or T-Desk.

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 (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

BaseStati on or T-Desk, thus no BeltStati on setti ngs can be

adjusted from the BaseStati on or T-Desk.

Volume of the BeltStati on that is acti vely talking is

dynamically reduced to minimize the eff ect of echo.
