If your Quick Assist
®
was previously programmed with a
Quiet Call
®
code and you need to remove it, follow the
programming instructions, using No Tone code, “44”, as
shown in the table.
What is Digital Quiet Call
®
?
Digital Quiet Call
®
(DQC) is a digital sub-audible coded
squelch system.
Do I need to program my Quick Assist
®
with a Digital
Quiet Call code?
If your radio system does not use Digital Quiet Call
®
, or any
other trade name equivalent, you will not need to program a
Digital Quiet Call
®
code.
What is the purpose of testing the Quick Assist
®
radio
transmitter?
After programming your radio, your Quick Assist
®
will
transmit on the same frequency as your radio receivers,
using any coded squelch signals required for your radio
system.
Do I need to test my Quick Assist
®
Transmitter?
Yes; performing this test now will save you time and
confusion later.
TO TEST THE QUICK ASSIST
®
RADIO
TRANSMITTER:
a. Turn on your radio receiver.
b. Press the red button on front of the Quick
Assist
®
.
c. Quick
Assist
®
transmits the “Assistance
needed” message, which you should be able
to hear on your radio receiver.
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, then perform this test again.
What is the purpose of recording a unique
Voice Phrase for the Low Battery Message?
When it senses the installed batteries are nearly
run down, Quick Assist
®
will transmit one time
each hour the factory- programmed message:
“Low Battery”. If you maintain several Quick
Assist
®
transmitters within radio range of each
other, you may customize this feature to easily
determine which unit needs new batteries.
Do I need to program this feature?
If you use only one Quick Assist
®
in any area, or if
you regularly change Quick Assist
®
batteries, the
factory programmed message may be sufficient
for your application.
