Game Day Setup
Wireless Component Set Up and Integration
The wireless portion of the Tempest NG Series is an add on to the wired system. If the wired system is not set up properly or if
there is a problem with the dry pair or any aspect of the wired system, the wireless portion may not work correctly.
Each BaseStation and its corresponding five (5) BeltPacks must be tested thoroughly to insure proper operation. The steps
outlined below are to be performed to each system in turn. Begin with BaseStation #1:
• Walk Test the BeltPack — Walk testing is very important. If a user tests the units only standing right beside the system unit,
he may not discover potential frequency problems. Spread your beltpacks out along the bench area so they are not piled
on top of one another. Walk test each unit from one end of the coach’s box to the other at a minimum. Effective system
administrators walk the units on the entire grass surface. Listen carefully on both the BaseStation and BeltPack for “drop
out”. Should you have an unacceptable amount of drop out or if the signal sounds poor, you may wish to change antenna
location. If a sub-system still does not function properly, set it aside for work later. Remember not to turn off power to the
unit, but turn off the Talk button for the unit.
• If there is noticeable echo on some channels of the wireless components, “manual null” the channel as described on page
28 under NULL.
• If all wireless or all wired users sound too loud or too quiet to the other, use the Intercom Levels menu option to adjust the
volume, as described on page 26 under Intercom Levels.
• Turn Off the “Talk” On All BaseStations and BeltPacks — Now that setup of this particular wireless is complete, turn off the
“Talk” button on the BeltPack. This will keep background noise to a minimum. The user should NOT turn off the power to the
BeltPack, only the Talk button. Repeat the above steps for all wireless units. NOTE: Also make sure that all talk lights on all
wired Beltpacks are off during testing.
Re-test All Units — After you have completed the sub-system adjustments, you should go back and walk test the units again. If
you find that previously working units are now working incorrectly, you should re-evaluate the changes made above.
If any unit is deemed not useable, turn off the power to that BeltPack and store the BeltPack away. It is entirely likely that you will
be able to use that unit next week in a different location or under different conditions.
If you are experiencing issues across a particular BaseStation, do NOT power it off as this may disrupt the BaseStation
synchronization that is present across the system. Instead of powering off the BaseStation, unplug the unit’s Remote Transceiver
and power off the corresponding BeltPacks. This will eliminate the RF from the environment, but keep Base Sync in tact through
the BaseStation.
Do NOT sync 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz models together. This will cause major performance issues with your wireless communications.
Separate models can and should have their audio channels connected, but should never be connected via the Base Sync portal.
