A/C Power Warning

Users should exercise extreme care when working with electricity. Additional care should be used when 

working with electricity outdoors in inclement weather. When working outdoors or near water, always 

connect the system into a ground-fault interrupting circuit.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside the Tempest MasterBelt.  Opening the case may expose dangerous electrical components, and will 
void the warranty. 

 

  ALERT SYMBOL – Indicates important information.

 

  CAUTION SYMBOL – Indicates a potential to damage equipment.

 

  DANGER SYMBOL – indicates a potential safety hazard.

Battery Safety

Battery Transportation

Rechargeable lithium batteries are subject to special regulation by U.S. and International 
laws, particularly regarding transportation on passenger aircraft.  However, individual 
batteries installed in consumer electronics are not restricted, provided there are only 
the correct numbers and types of batteries as may be needed to operate the electronic 
equipment. 

Your Tempest MasterBelt Wireless Intercom System includes rechargeable lithium-polymer batteries that power the MasterBelt and BeltStations. 
To ensure that there is no violation of U.S. or International laws, and to ensure your own safety, always:          

• 

Transport rechargeable lithium batteries installed in the equipment they are intended to power.

• 

Transport spare batteries in a padded case, separated from one another.

• 

Never transport your rechargeable lithium batteries bundled together.

• 

Never transport more than 12 lithium batteries in a single package.

Lithium-polymer batteries include a chemistry that is intended to overcome the dangers associated with lithium ion batteries. In addition, the 
batteries that accompany your Tempest Wireless system include protective circuits to further reduce the possibility of a dangerous reaction 
associated with charging or discharging beyond safe limits. With reasonable care you can expect many years of safe and reliable power from 
your batteries.
