ABOUT THE QUICK TALKTM WIRELESS VOICE MONITOR & ALARM ....................................................................... General Information Quick TalkTM Models and Frequencies The Quick TaIkTM is a wireless radio transmitter that reports changes in the status of switches by transmitting user-recorded voice messages to two-way TM mobile, portable or base station radios. Quick Talk transmits your voice message when the switch change occurs, and at intervals you select.
QUICK TALKTM WIRELESS VOICE ALARM REPORTER FEATURES ......................................................................... • Basic Features: • • • • • • • • • • • • • Internal radio transmitter (separate VHF and UHF models). User-recorded voice messages; total recording time of 30 seconds. Connection to user-supplied switches. Included external antenna. Typical range of 1/2 mile. Longer range is possible using an optional antenna. Weather-resistant (not waterproof nor immersible) enclosure.
IDENTIFICATION OF QUICK TALKTM CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS ..................................................................... 1 7 Battery Holder Record Button The battery holder accommodates the six (6) standard “AA” alkaline cells required to power the Quick TalkTM. Press this button to initiate voice recording. NOTE: Always install a fresh set of alkaline batteries before programming the unit. A 10-conductor cable for connection of external power supply and up to four (4) switch inputs.
QUICK TALKTM PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES ...................................................................................................... The Quick TalkTM features four (4) separate inputs that can each be programmed with unique voice messages and attributes. All programming is accomplished with the RITRON RQA/RQT PC Programmer software available at www.ritron.com. The original factory-programmed transmitter frequency of your Quick TalkTM is marked on the outside of the shipping box.
Compand Some two-way radios have a feature referred to as “companding”. It is a way of eliminating background hiss or noise, making the radio sound clearer. “Companding” is a combination of audio “compression” in the transmitter and audio “expanding” in the receiver. The Quick TalkTM can be programmed for audio compression. To determine if your existing 2-way radios are using the Companding feature, you can check the radio’s User Manual, contact your radio dealer, or call Ritron for help.
Latching Input Mode - Use the Quick TalkTM Latching Input mode if repeated transmissions are desired with a momentary switch (i.e. a push-button). The latching effect maintains message repeats after the momentary switch change has ended. Example: To use a Quick TalkTM in a paint department, you want it to re-transmit a message several times after a “Press for Help” push-button is pressed.
PROGRAMMING YOUR QUICK TALKTM TRANSMITTER FREQUENCY AND TONE ....................................................... TM The Quick Talk transmitter operates exclusively on a 12.5 kHz narrow band channel bandwidth. Many of the Frequency Table Codes programmed in your compatible Ritron radios are for 25 kHz wide band channels. If these TM codes are selected when programming your Quick Talk radio, the programmer will automatically update to the equivalent 12.5 kHz code.

RECORDING YOUR QUICK TALKTM VOICE MESSAGES ......................................................................................... Each of the four Quick TalkTM inputs can be programmed to play two unique voice messages, a “Switch Open” message that plays when the input changes to an OPEN or HIGH condition, and a “Switch Closed” message that plays when the input changes to a CLOSED or LOW condition.
5. If there were any changes made during steps 2 through 4, press the COMMIT button. This will erase all input messages, they will have to be re-recorded and the RECORDED boxes will no longer be checked. NOTE: Pressing COMMIT button will not erase the Low Battery, Power Fail, or Location messages. 6. To record a new message, press the associated RECORD button and follow the instructions on the Record Message dialog box. 7. The RECORDED checkbox will now indicate that the message is recorded.
INSTALLING THE QUICK TALKTM ......................................................................................................................... Prior to installing the Quick TalkTM transmitter, it is important to verify all radio programming to be certain that you have achieved the operation you desire. Re-programming requires the removal of the Quick TalkTM from its installed location, which can be time consuming and frustrating. 1.
TEST YOUR SWITCH’S OPEN AND CLOSED CONDITIONS ...................................................................................... TM TM In the Quick Talk basic operating mode, you will record two (2) voice messages for the Quick Talk to transmit. One message is transmitted when the switch is OPEN and the other is transmitted when the switch is CLOSED. Before you record these switch condition messages, determine how your switch works by using the factory prerecorded messages in the Quick TalkTM.
AUTOMATIC LOW BATTERY ALERT MESSAGE..................................................................................................... If the battery voltage drops below approximately 6 Volts, the Quick TalkTM transmits a factory prerecorded message, “Low Battery”, every 60 minutes. When this occurs, replace the batteries promptly — within a day or so. CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL +12 VDC POWER SUPPLY ......................................................................................
(Quick TalkTM disabled), and it is then closed, Quick TalkTM transmits the prerecorded message describing the current condition of Input #1. MONITOR 4-20 MA SENSOR CURRENT LOOP WITH QUICK TALK TM ANALOG INPUT .............................................. TM Quick Talk can act as a current sink when a resistor is connected between an Input’s positive and negative connection. The resistance value is selected to scale the current to the permitted 0 - 5 Volt range for the Input to TM Quick Talk .

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT QUICK ASSIST® PROGRAMMING........................................................... Do I have to program my Quick Assist®? You may not need to program your Quick Assist® at all. If you purchased a Quick Assist® unit that is factory programmed to your radio system frequency (check the frequency on your ® radios and the Quick Assist ), and you do not use a form of Quiet Call coded squelch, you can install the batteries and ® start using Quick Assist .
If your Quick Assist® was previously programmed with a ® Quiet Call code and you need to remove it, follow the programming instructions, using No Tone code, “44”, as shown in the table. ® What is Digital Quiet Call ? Digital Quiet Call® (DQC) is a digital sub-audible coded squelch system. Do I need to program my Quick Assist® with a Digital Quiet Call code? ® If your radio system does not use Digital Quiet Call , or any other trade name equivalent, you will not need to program a ® Digital Quiet Call code.
