Maintenance and Care
Cleaning
Generally, the Tempest Wireless hardware should be cleaned only with a dry cloth. A soft cloth with rubbing alcohol may
be used to wipe the units if needed. Never spray solvents or chemicals onto the units.
Because of Tempest’s weather resistant design, it is not highly susceptible to dust or airborne contaminants. However, all
electronic devices can be susceptible to particulate contamination. If exposed to an extremely dusty environment, contact
an authorized Tempest service center for internal cleaning.
Temperature and Humidity
Ideally, all electronics should be stored and used in a controlled environment with moderate temperature and humidity.
Tempest components are designed to be very durable, and can tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions.
Install the BaseStation in a location where it will not be exposed to extreme weather conditions. Protect the unit against
dust or moisture. Always protect any AC power connections from the elements with safety in mind.
For more extreme environmental conditions, the BaseStation can remain in a secure location with antennas for the
BaseStation located remotely and connected by low-loss 50 ohm coax cable, or the optional Remote Transceiver can be
used.
The Tempest Remote Transceiver is weather resistant, with gaskets intended to prevent moisture entry from the top and
sides. The CAT-5 cable connection on the bottom is not water tight. If it is to be used in an environment subject to blowing
rain, snow, fog or high humidity, protect the transceiver with a cover that will not interfere with the RF.
The BeltStations are designed to work wherever people work. While the BeltStation design is weather resistant, the headset
XLR connector on the bottom is not watertight. BeltStations should not be submerged in liquids. Protect the battery
compartment from water when changing batteries. The battery compartment offers a route to the electronic circuitry.
