Update the Firmware (with CodeUpdater)
Tempest firmware updates are released periodically,
and equipment should be updated to maximize
optimal system performance. Staying up to
date with the latest firmware ensures that your
system is equipped with the newest features and
enhancements that Tempest has to offer.
Tempest uses a proprietary program, CodeUpdater,
to update firmware in the BaseStation and the
BeltStation. Tempest CodeUpdater can automatically
detect what firmware is currently installed on a unit
and indicate whether a later version is available.
Note:
You must have internet access on your PC for CodeUpdater to
accurately detect the latest released versions available.
Connecting Your BeltStation for Updating:
•
Be sure the BeltStation is powered OFF.
•
Plug in your USB programming cable to your computer first.
•
Push and hold the CALL button on the front of the BeltStation and plug in the USB cable to the side USB-A
connector on the BeltStation. The BeltStation will power ON automatically. Do not release the CALL button until
the BeltStation display message appears.
Connecting Your BaseStation for Updating:
•
Be sure the BaseStation is powered OFF.
•
Plug in your USB programming cable to your computer and into the front USB-B on the BaseStation.
•
Push and hold the MIC KILL button on the BaseStation front panel and then power ON. Do not release the MIC
KILL button until the BaseStation display message appears.
Updating Firmware:
•
Open Tempest CodeUpdater on your PC.
•
Connect the device. CodeUpdater will list the model of the equipment connected next to device.

You may be prompted to update Bootloader firmware. If so, it is highly recommended that you do update it.
When updating the Bootloader, it is very important that you not interrupt the update. Be sure USB cable is
securely connected before starting the upgrade process. Interrupting the update may require the device to be
returned to the factory for re-programming. It is highly recommended that you not use a wireless connection
when updating the bootloader.
Note: If you update the Bootloader you will have to re-connect your device to initialize the
process again.

The “Current Version” of firmware will display in CodeUpdater along with the “Latest Version” available (if
applicable).
Note: The PIC firmware version is only applicable to the BaseStation firmware.
