Modes of Opera on

Tempest MasterBelts oﬀ er three modes of opera on: Normal, Shared, and Split Mode. The mode of opera on can be set by

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

modes.

Note: In addi on to the MasterBelt, the BeltSta ons must be in “Shared” mode to use with either Shared or Split modes of opera on.

Normal Mode

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

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

given  me.

» Each BeltSta on has dedicated any me talk back capability.

» BeltSta on talk bu ons may be operated in either momentary or

latching mode.

» Sidetone may be set individually for each BeltSta on from -6dB to

-30dB.

» Full BeltSta on telemetry is available real- me at the MasterBelt;

these se ngs cannot be adjusted from the MasterBelt.

Shared Mode

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

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

they can control the channels in which they operate.

» BeltSta ons are inherently full duplex, push-to-talk (talk/listen at the

same  me); “Shared BeltSta ons” are physically no diﬀ erent than a

normal BeltSta on.

» Shared BeltSta ons operate in momentary talk mode; no more than 5

talk paths may be used at any given  me.

» Each BeltSta on is capable of features such as Stage Announce,

Wireless ISO, and Relays; however, each ac on u lizes one of the  ve

available talk paths so long as it is triggered.

» Shared BeltSta ons are unable to provide telemetry to the MasterBelt.

» Volume of the BeltSta on that is ac vely talking is dynamically

reduced to minimize the eﬀ ect of echo.
