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.

5.

Program the 

Quick Assist II

 as follows:

A. TO PROGRAM THE TRANSMITTER FREQUENCY:

1. Determine the frequency of your radio system.
2. Find your frequency in Table 1, page 7, then determine its

corresponding two-digit code. If your frequency is not listed

in Table 1, skip to Step 7. Otherwise, go on to Step 3:

For frequencies listed in Table 1:

3. Pick up the telephone receiver and listen for the

acknowledge  tone.

4. Dial “

11

”, then enter the digits of your frequency code

from Table 1.

EXAMPLES

:

If your 

Quick Assist II

 is a 

VHF RQA-150

operating on the frequency 154.570 MHz,

dial “

1102

”.

If your 

Quick Assist II

 is a 

UHF RQA- 450

operating on the frequency of 467.925 MHz,

dial “

1108

”.

5.

Quick Assist II

 responds with a single beep to indicate

the  transmitter  frequency  programming  is  completed.

6. You may either continue programming additional

features, or you may dial “

999

” and hang up to stop

programming.

For frequencies not listed in Table 1:

7. Pick up the telephone receiver and listen for the

acknowledge  tone.

8. Dial “

12

”, then the first six digits of your frequency.

EXAMPLES

:

If your 

Quick Assist II

 is a 

VHF RQA-150

 operating on a frequency of 153.220 MHz,

dial “

12153220

”.

If your 

Quick Assist II

 is a 

UHF RQA- 450

operating on a frequency of 464.3125 MHz,

dial “

12464312

”.

9.

Quick Assist  II

 responds with a single beep to

indicate it has programmed the transmitter frequency.

10. You  may  either  continue  programming  additional

features, or you may dial “

999

” and hang up the

telephone  to  stop  programming.

IMPORTANT

The telephone must be capable of "Pulse" mode dialing.  Most specialized and office telephones, speaker

phones, those with lighted dials and that generate only Touch Tones CANNOT BE USED to program the Quick

Assist  II.
If the telephone has a mode selection switch, it must be set to "P" (Pulse), rather than "T" (Tone), to program

the Quick Assist II.
- 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 Assist II, then

dialing "O" (Operator).  A repeating busy signal in the telephone earpiece indicates it is acceptable for

programming the Quick Assist II.

B. TO PROGRAM THE QUIET CALL SUB-AUDIBLE CODED

SQUELCH INTERFERENCE ELIMINATOR:

1. Determine if your radio system uses QC- or DQC-

coded tones. To program DQC tones, skip to Step 7.

For QC codes:

2. Find your QC tone frequency and its corresponding

2-digit code in Table 2, page 2.

NOTE:

  If your radio system does not use coded

squelch, program No Tone Code “

44

”.

3. Pick up the telephone receiver and listen for the

acknowledge  tone.

4. Dial “

21

”, then enter the 2-digit code from Table 2.

EXAMPLE

:

If your QC frequency is 103.5 (Code 13), dial

indicate it has programmed the QC code.

6. You  may  either  continue  programming  additional

features, or you may dial “

999

” and hang up the

telephone  to  stop  programming.

For DQC codes:

7. Find your 3-digit DQC Code in Table 3, page 2. If your

code does not appear in Table 3, call your radio

service provider or Ritron.

8. Pick up the telephone receiver and listen for the

acknowledge  tone.

9. Dial “

22

”, then enter the 3-digit DQC code from Table

3.

EXAMPLE

:

If your DQC code is 131, dial “

22131

”.

10.

Quick Assist II

 responds with a single beep to

indicate it has programmed the DQC code.

11. You  may  either  continue  programming  additional

features, or you may dial “
