than t on the screen. Scroll to the boom of the screen and scroll one more detent to see the “Select Relay”
opon. Select one of the relays: Relay 1 thru Relay 5. When a relay is selected a check mark will be visible beside
the selecon.
• To acvate the relay, a “Relay Buon” must be triggered. To select a “Relay Buon,” one of the relays must
already have been selected. To select a “Relay Buon,” Press MENU, select “Set Controls,” select “Relay Buon,”
select one of the trigger opons.
• If Talk A/B or Talk C/D is selected to acvate the relay, the relay will remain closed whenever the buon is
selected for acve talk.
• If Ch A/B or Ch C/D is selected to acvate the relay, the relay will remain closed whenever a channel is selected.
• If STAGE, ENTER, or CALL is selected to acvate the relay, the relay will remain closed whenever the buon is
pressed, for as long as the buon is held.
» If STAGE is selected to acvate the relay, and if Stage Announce Audio is enabled, and if the Stage Announce
Relay is enabled, all three funcons will operate simultaneously.
» If ENTER is selected to acvate the relay, and if Wireless ISO is enabled, both funcons will operate
simultaneously while in Operaonal mode. When in Menu mode, ENTER only funcons as an Enter buon.

From the BaseStaon:
• Select the numbered key 1 through 5 that corresponds to the BeltStaon desired. Scroll to and choose “Select
Relay.” Select one of the relays Relay 1 thru Relay 5.
• Press MENU to go up one level back to the menu.
• Scroll to and select “Relay Buon;” select an opon to trigger the relay.
Since every user will require a custom applicaon, cables for your RELAY connecons will require some bench work
with a soldering iron.
Use the Transceiver
Choose an opmum locaon for the Tempest Remote Transceiver and antennas.
Using standard CAT-5 cable, connect the Transceiver to the BaseStaon RJ-45 connector labeled TRANSCEIVER.
The “Power” LED on the Transceiver will light if the BaseStaon is powering the unit. If the “Power” LED does
not illuminate when connecons are made and the BaseStaon is ON, the CAT-5 cable may be too long to deliver
adequate power to the Transceiver.
When disconnecng a Remote Transceiver while the BaseStaon is power on, it is good pracce to power your
BaseStaon o and back on aer the Remote Transceiver has been reconnected.
Local BaseStaon whip antenna is disabled when the remote transceiver is connected.
