General Information
The Quick Assist
®
is a RITRON Wireless
Callbox Transmitter, specialized for indoor
retail or commercial use, and pre programmed
to transmit a custom recorded “assistance
needed” message when the Message push-
button is pressed for customer assistance.
Personnel know from these message
transmissions in which specific areas a
customer needs assistance.
The Quick Assist
®
is easily programmed to
transmit on either an existing or a new radio
frequency, with the most popular sub-audible
coded squelch formats, such as Quiet Call
®
or
Digital Quiet CaII
®
. This enables all your
personnel with JOBCOM
®
, PATRIOT
™
or
equivalent two-way radios to hear the voice
messages instantly.
The Quick Assist
®
can be installed in a wide
variety of indoor locations. Because it’s six
internal AA Alkaline batteries will power the
unit for about a year, the Quick Assist
®
does
not require AC line power.

Models and Frequencies
There are three Quick Assist
®
models, one for each of the most
popular professional radio communications bands. The model
number appears on a label on the bottom of the case, and on a
second label inside the case.
MODEL BAND FREQUENCY
RANGE
RQA-151
VHF-FM
150 to 165 MHz
RQA-151M VHF-FM
151.820, 151.880, 151.940,
154.570,

Ritron manufactures mobile, portable and base station two-way
radios and repeaters for use with Quick Assist
®
. Ritron pioneered
the use of Color Dots on radios to identify frequencies.
Factory-programmed, default Quick Assist
®
frequencies are:
Red Dot = 151.625 MHz for RQA-151
Green Dot = 154.600 MHz for RQA-151M
Blue Star = 467.925 MHz for RQA-451
See page 5 for instructions on changing the Quick Assist
®
transmit frequency to match an existing radio system.

EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY:
RQA-151, RQA-151M, RQA-451:
This product
generates radio frequency (RF) energy when the button
on the front of the unit is depressed. This product has
been evaluated for compliance with the maximum
permissible exposure limits for RF energy at the
maximum power rating of the unit when using antennas
available from RITRON.
RQT-151, RQT-151M, RTA-451:
This product
generates radio frequency (RF) energy when the state
of any of the four inputs has been changed. This
product has been evaluated for compliance with the
maximum permissible exposure limits for RF energy at
the maximum power rating of the unit when using
antennas available from RITRON.
For both the AFB-1545 and the standard internal
antennas, at the 20 cm (7.9 inches) minimum expected
separation distance and greater, the maximum RF
exposure is well below the General
Population/Uncontrolled limits. Antennas other than
those available from RITRON have not been tested for
compliance and may or may not meet the exposure
limits at the distances given. Higher gain antennas are
capable of generating higher fields in the strongest part
of their field and would, therefore, require a greater
separation from the antenna. This product is not to be
used by the general public in an uncontrolled
environment unless compliance with the
Uncontrolled/General Population limits for RF exposure
can be assured.
To limit exposure to RF energy to levels below the limit,
please observe the following:
• Use only the antenna(s) available from RITRON for
these models.
DO NOT
operate the radio without
an antenna.
•
DO NOT
activate the transmitter when not actually
wishing to transmit. These radios transmit recorded
messages of a pre-determined length to prevent
continuous transmit times.
• When transmitting, make certain that the distance
limits for the particular model in use are observed.
•
DO NOT
allow children to operate the radio.
When used as directed, this series of radios is designed
to comply with the FCC’s RF exposure limits for
“Uncontrolled/General Population”. In addition, they are
designed to comply with the following Standards and
Guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications
Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR
§§ 2 sub-part J.
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) /
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95. 1-1992.
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition.
