Battery Selection and Installation
The Tempest BeltStation Battery Compartment holds either one Tempest Lithium-Polymer rechargeable battery or three standard alkaline AA
cells. Lithium-Polymer batteries are the primary power source. High quality alkaline AA cells may be used in situations where Lithium-Polymer
batteries are not available or are not charged. One Lithium-Polymer battery comes standard with each Tempest BeltStation. Additional Lithium-
Polymer batteries may be purchased. Contact your dealer or distributor to purchase additional batteries. The Lithium-Polymer batteries supplied
with your Tempest Wireless system are warranted for 12 months from the date of purchase.
Lithium-Polymer batteries offer up to nine hours of battery life and recharge in approximately 2¾
hours.
Lithium-Polymer batteries ship from the factory with approximately 50% charge. It will not damage
the Lithium-Polymer batteries to use them without charging them rst. This will, however result in
shorter run time until the Lithium-Polymer battery is fully charged. When possible, charge Lithium-
Polymer batteries to full capacity to ensure full battery life prior to use.
Using (3) alkaline AA batteries can provide up to four hours of battery life. Use only high quality
alkaline AA cells. This will provide enough time to fully charge the Lithium-Polymer battery.
To remove the battery door, press down on the thumb markings and pull the battery door toward the
bottom of the BeltStation.
To remove batteries from the battery compartment, turn the BeltStation battery side down and tap the bottom of the BeltStation on the palm of
your other hand.
Please be careful to insert alkaline AA batteries according to the marked polarity. All of the alkaline AA cells must be oriented the same
direction.
If the battery cover does not close properly, the battery may not be inserted correctly.
