BEFORE PROGRAMMING THE QUICK ASSIST II:
1. Remove the four (4) screws at the corners of the enclosure.
2. Lift the cover from the unit. Use care to not damage or disturb any exposed internal components.
3. Plug a telephone unit that passes the following test into the telephone jack on the radio board.
The telephone must be capable of "Pulse" mode dialing. Most specialized and office telephones, speaker
phones, telephones with lighted dials and those that generate only Touch Tones CANNOT BE USED to
program the Quick Talk.
Many modern telephones have a selection switch for "P" (Pulse) and "T" (Tone). A "Pulse" mode tele-
phone generates a rapid series of clicks (rather than Touch Tones) with each dialed digit. If the tele-
phone has this mode selection switch, it must be set to "P" (Pulse) to program the Quick Talk.
-
The telephone must have a cord with a standard modular plug.
- Test the telephone
for suitability by plugging it into the telephone jack of the Quick Talk, then dial "O" (Operator).
A
repeating busy signal in the telephone earpiece indicates it is acceptable for programming the Quick Talk.
4. Remove batteries from the unit. Install a
fresh set
of six AA alkaline batteries, matching polarity marks on the
batteries with the marks in the battery holder.
