Modes of Opera on
Tempest Wireless BaseSta ons o er 3 modes of opera on: Normal, Shared, and Split Mode. The mode of opera on can
be set by going into menu mode on the BaseSta on. Press MENU and select “Mode Se ngs,” then “Opera onal Mode.”
Note: In addi on to the BaseSta on, the BeltSta ons must be set into “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
BaseSta on). 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
BaseSta on and T-Desk; these se ngs can be adjusted
from the BaseSta on and/or T-Desk.
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 (talk/listen at
the same  me); “Shared BeltSta ons” are physically no
di 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
BaseSta on or T-Desk, thus no BeltSta on se ngs can be
adjusted from the BaseSta on or T-Desk.
» Volume of the BeltSta on that is ac vely talking is
dynamically reduced to minimize the e ect of echo.
