39 Tempest®900 2-Channel Wireless Intercom System
BeltStation Setup
The BeltStation can be configured in three ways. It can be configured by the BeltStation menu, wirelessly by the BaseStation
menu, or using the PC interface called T-Desk. While many functions are available through all three methods, certain
features are only available through the BeltStation. See T-Desk manual for details on configuring by PC.
Configure the BeltStation by the BeltStation Menu
Using a combination of controls and Menu settings, you can set a variety of levels and options directly from the BeltStation
controls. The multipurpose “CH A” and “CH B” controls operate differently depending on the mode of the BeltStation. In
Operational Mode, rotating the control adjusts the volume of the audio of the local headset connected into the bottom of
the BeltStation. Turning the Volume control clockwise increases the audio level while turning the control counter clockwise
decreases the level.
Pressing the “CH A” or “CH B” while in “Dual-listen” mode does nothing. In “Single-listen”, pressing the “CH A” controls
enables channel A. Pressing the “CH B” knob enables channel B. The intercom channel selected is indicated by the Channel
Indicator LEDs located on the outer edge of each talk button, “TALK A” and “TALK B.”
In Menu Mode, turning either Volume control allows the user to scroll through the menu options of the current menu
screen. Pressing either control selects the current menu option and is the same as pressing ENTER. A menu item is not
selected and will not take affect until the control, or ENTER, is pressed.
For example, to adjust the Sidetone setting:
• Connect a headset to the BeltStation.
• Press MENU to enter Menu Mode.
• Rotate the Volume knob and scroll to “Set Controls.”
• Press ENTER to select, and scroll to “Sidetone.”
• Press ENTER to select the “Sidetone” adjustment.
Sidetone is expressed in Decibels (dB). You will see a level indicator with a numeric value between -30dB to -6dB. You should
speak into the headset microphone at a normal speaking level and adjust the sound of your own voice to a comfortable
level by rotating either volume knob to adjust the Sidetone level. When satisfied, press ENTER to save the adjustment. Press
MENU to move up one level in the menu tree. Press MENU repeatedly to exit Menu Mode and return to Operational Mode.
If no other items are selected, Menu Mode will automatically exit and return to Operation Mode after a few seconds.
For additional information on the available BeltStation menu settings, see the menu tree diagram and details in this manual.
Configure the BeltStation by the BaseStation Interface
Many of the settings of the BeltStation can be adjusted wirelessly from the BaseStation. On the BaseStation, press MENU,
select BeltStation Settings, and scroll to the required options. This feature allows the communications engineer to control
many of the BeltStation’s functions without the need to remove the BeltStation from the user. As an example, to adjust the
Battery Alert on a BeltStation from the BaseStation:
• On the BaseStation, press MENU to enter Menu Mode
• Rotate the Volume knob to scroll to “BeltStation Settings” and press ENT.
• Select the BeltStation to be adjusted and press ENT.
• Scroll to “Battery Alert” and press ENT to select the “Battery Alert” adjustment.
You will see options for ON and OFF. Rotate the “Volume” knob to select your preference and press ENTER to select. Confirm
the selection on the BeltStation display. Press MENU to move up one level in the menu tree. Press MENU repeatedly to exit
Menu Mode and return to Operational Mode. If no other items are selected, Menu Mode will automatically exit after one
minute.
For additional information on the BeltStation menu settings, available from the BaseStation menu, see the BaseStation
menu tree diagram in this manual.
