ROGRAMMING
.................................................................................................................................
Once your Quick Assist
®
has been programmed it will transmit
on the same frequency as your radio receivers, and will
transmit any coded squelch signals required for your radio
system. Before installing the Quick Assist
®
you should test for
communication with your radio receivers.
To test the Quick Assist
®
radio transmitter:
1. Turn on your radio receiver.
2. Press the front panel push button switch.
3. Quick
Assist
®
will transmit the RQA “Assistance needed”
message, which you should be able to hear on your radio
receiver.
4. Press and hold the front panel push button switch until the
front panel LED blinks rapidly.
5. Quick
Assist
®
will transmit the Reset “Quick Assist call
cleared” message, which you should be able to hear on
your radio receiver.
6. If you do not hear the messages, you have probably not
properly programmed the Quick Assist
®
transmitter
frequency or the Quiet Call
®
Coded Squelch. In this case,
repeat the programming and perform this test again.
NOTE:
The Reset message will not be heard if the radio is not
programmed for Press-and-Hold Reset.
Depending upon your programming, the following sequence
describes what you should hear with your radio receiver:
1. The RQA transmitter is activated on the Transmit
Frequency and QC or DQC Code programmed when the
front panel push button is pressed and released.
2. The RQA will broadcast silence for the programmed
Message Delay on TX Time
3. The RQA will broadcast the TX Alert Tone if it has been
programmed.
4. The RQA will broadcast the Location Message if it has
been recorded.
5. The RQA will broadcast the recorded RQA Message.
6. The RQA Message will be repeated for the number of
times programmed for Repeat Message on each
Transmission.
7. The RQA transmitter will turn OFF and the RQA will wait
for the period of time programmed for Wait Time between
Transmissions.
8. If Repeat Message Transmissions has been programmed
for more than one transmission, the RQA transmitter will
again be activated and Steps 1 – 7 will be repeated for the
programmed number of transmissions.
9. If at any time during this sequence the front panel button
is held down until the LED begins flashing rapidly, the
RQA will transmit the Reset Message and the sequence
will be terminated.
