System range and performance may be greatly reduced if antennas are
blocked or obstructed.
● Always operate the system with antenna attached, locate as high as
possible and away from all obstructions (especially metal).
● Never use antenna on the back of the BaseStation when the BaseStation
is in a rack
● When using the Whip (omni-directional) antenna, always locate it as close
as possible to the center of the coverage area.
● When using a directional antenna, always aim it in the same general
direction.
● When remotely locating antenna, use only high quality 50 ohm, low loss,
RF cable (30 ft max).
● Remote antenna location of up to 1500 ft using standard CAT-5 wiring
may be achieved using the optional Tempest Remote Transceiver.
»This must be a point to point connection
»Plug your Transceiver into the BaseStation prior to powering ON the
BaseStation
● Connect the AC power cord to the BaseStation and to the AC wall outlet.
● Turn the BaseStation on via the front panel ON/OFF switch.
● The rst time you power up the BaseStation, you will be prompted
to “select an authorized band for your location”.
● There are seven RF bands that use different parts of the 2.4GHz
spectrum.
● Scroll to an appropriate band for your location and press Enter to
select.
● Press MENU to return to the operational screen.
Band 1 is appropriate for most, but not all, locations worldwide (US is
band 1). Some countries require that you use a limited portion of the
2.4GHz band. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that you select a
band that is permitted for use in your location.

Changing the Default RF
Conguration
 Tempest 2400 operates in the 2400 to 2483 MHz frequency
spectrum and should never be synced with 900 MHz models.
 Tempest® BaseStations and BeltStations are shipped with a
default RF configuration. It is highly recommended that you change
your system from the default to ensure proper RF performance
especially in the presence of other Tempest systems.
 A BeltStation must be paired with a BaseStation for any
communication to take place. Pairing should be done AFTER the
default RF configuration is changed on the BaseStation.
 Charge the BeltStation batteries prior to starting set-up.
