The 2-Wire Intercom Type Select Switch determines the type of 2-Wire intercom that may be
connected to the corresponding 2-Wire connectors on the rear panel of the BaseStaon. Clear-Com,
RTS, or BAL (AudioCom) can be selected. These switches only aect 2-Wire operaon and do not
control 4-Wire operaon. The CHAN A&B switch selects the 2-Wire system type for both the A and
the B intercom channels.

connecon mode for each of the intercom channels: 2-Wire, 4-Wire, or no wired intercom
connecon.
The IN and OUT controls adjust the intercom volume level coming in to the Tempest BaseStaon from
