Tempest MasterBelt Operating Manual
1- Rubberized Access Cover
The Rubberized Access Cover helps prevent dust, dirt and liquid from entering the BeltStation through the USB or
the BeltStation pairing connector. Keep this cover securely closed at all times to ensure the best possible seal.
2- USB Mini B Connector
The USB Connector is used to charge the BeltStation with the supplied wall charger. In addition, the USB connect
is used to update the firmware of the BeltStation.
3- Pairing Connector
The Pairing Connector is used to pair the MasterBelt to BeltStations using the supplied 3.5mm stereo mini
connector.
1- Belt Clip
The Belt Clip enables the BeltStation to be worn on the user’s belt or other clothing item.
2- Power ON/OFF Button
The Power ON/OFF button is used to turn the BeltStation ON or OFF. Press and hold the
Power ON/OFF button for two seconds to turn the BeltStation ON. Press for four seconds
to turn the BeltStation OFF.
3- Battery Compartment
The Battery Compartment holds either one Tempest Lithium-Polymer rechargeable
battery or (3) standard alkaline AA cells. 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 face the same direction. If the battery cover does not fit or close properly, the
battery may not be inserted correctly.
4- Headset Connector
The 4-pin XLR male headset connector mates with most Dynamic or Electret headsets that have 4-pin XLR female connectors. This Headset
connector allows a user to communicate in “Dual-listen” or “Single-listen” mode on either intercom channel.
The mic detect circuit (dynamic/electret) will indicate dynamic when it sees a load of 600Ω or less. It will indicate an electret when it sees 1kΩ or
greater. Between 600Ω and 1kΩ is not recommended as it may not accurately detect mic type.
