1. Connect a whip antenna onto the back of the BaseStation.
Select a suitable location for the BaseStation. Tempest is a radio system, broadcasting and receiving RF signals that are affected by physical and
electronic barriers.
The antenna should be located as high as possible and away from all obstructions. When
using a whip (omnidirectional) antenna, select a location as close as possible to the center of
the area you want to cover.
Use alternative antenna options when the BaseStation is in a rack or other metal structure,
or stacked with other gear. Remote location antenna placement of up to 1,500 ft. can be
achieved using the Tempest Remote Transceiver (part # TMP-RT09). See the operating manual
for more details about antenna placement, recommended cable types, and other antenna
options.
2. Connect the power cord and Power On the BaseStation.
3. Install Batteries in BeltStations.
Install the Lithium-Polymer battery in each BeltStation. Be certain that the gold contacts on the
battery touch the contacts in the battery compartment. The battery is shipped with a partial charge, so
charging will be necessary before maximum run time will be achieved.
OR
Insert (3) AA alkaline batteries in the battery compartment. Always replace the battery cover.
To power ON the BeltStation, press and hold the power button for approximately two seconds. The
display will indicate “None Selected.” Turn the power OFF by holding the power button for four
