  II  APPLICATION

The Quick Assist II is a RITRON 

Wireless Callbox Transmitter

. It is deisned for indoor in retail or

commercial  applications. A  custom-recorded  "assistance  needed"  message  is  transmitted  when

CARE  &  MAINTENANCE

Temperature:

  The 

Quick  Assist  II

  is  designed  to

operate    between  -22  and  +140    F.  Within  this  tempera-

ture  range,  good  radio  performance  also  depends  on

specifications  of  batteries  powering  the  unit.  Alkaline

battery  power  decreases  in  extreme  cold—e.g.:  a  power

loss of 20% at 14   F.  Like all electronic equipment, 

Quick

Assist II

 should not be subjected to extreme heat.

Moisture:

  Keep  the 

Quick  Assist  II

  away  from  any

moisture.  This  unit  is  designed  for  indoor  use  and  it  is

not  environmentally  sealed.

Vibrations/ Shocks

:

    Although  it  is  of  rugged  design,

the 

Quick Assist II

 cannot be expected to survive extreme

abuse.

Chemicals

:

  Do  not  use  harsh,  corrosive  or  abrasive

chemicals to clean the 

Quick Assist II

 case; use only a cloth

moistened  with  water.  Do  not  attempt  to  clean  the  printed

circuit board, which is located inside the housing.

Batteries:

  Use  only  fresh,  new  alkaline  batteries  when

programming 

Quick  Assist  II

.    Acceptable  brands  and

types  are:    Duracell  MX1500B,  Eveready  E91,  Rayovac

815, or equivalent.

NOTE:

  Refer  to  page  8  for  information  on  using

rechargeable Ni-Cd AA batteries, charged by an optional

external 12 Volt DC power supply.

Estimated  Battery  Life:

  Starting  with  a  fresh  set  of

AA  alkaline batteries, 

Quick Assist II

 can transmit about

7,000  voice  messages  over  a  period  of  one  year  before

the batteries will need replacement.

Automatic  Low  Battery  Alert  Message:

  If  the

battery  voltage  drops  below  approximately  6  Volts,  the

Quick  Assist  II

  transmits  the  factory  prerecorded

message  "Low  Battery"  every  60  minutes.  When  this

occurs,  replace  the  batteries  promptly  —  within  a  day  or

so. Refer to page 10 for "unique" low battery message.

FIG-1:    BATTERY  INSTALLATION

CAUTION ! !
