Accessory Items You May Require
Headsets
A Headset is required for each user (XLR-4F connectors).

that have the correct XLR-4F connector should be compable, requiring nothing
more than a simple Mic Gain adjustment.
DC Power Input Cable
To power the Tempest BaseStaon via DC power (Baery) instead of AC power, you will need to provide a DC Power
input Cable.
RF Cable to Remote Antennas
If you plan to remotely locate your antennas to improve antenna posioning and maximize range, you must provide
high quality 50 ohm RF cables with RP-TNC connectors.
CAT-5 Cable for Remote Transceiver

provide a longer CAT-5 cable. The maximum CAT-5 cable length recommended is 1,500 feet.

If you use mulple BaseStaons to use Accu-Sync BaseStaon synchronizaon, you will need to provide one Accu-Sync
DE-9 cable per addional BaseStaon. You cannot sync Tempest 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz models together.
