The Quick Assist
®
can be programmed to play two unique
voice messages, an “Assistance needed” message that is
transmitted when the front panel push button is pressed, and
a “Call answered” message that is transmitted if the Quick
Assist
®
has been reset.
Voice messages can be recorded into the Quick Assist
®
using the RQA/RQT PC Programmer and the electret
condenser microphone built onto the radio PCB assembly.
Voice messages can also be recorded with an incoming
audio signal from you computer. This allows you to record
and store a message onto your computer and use it for
multiple Quick Assist
®
transmitters.
Number of Inputs
The number of inputs is fixed at 1 for Quick Assist
®
.
Message Delay on TX
Whenever the Quick Assist
®
transmitter is activated it will
wait this length of time before the alert tones and recorded
voice message are sent.
Quick Assist
®
Messages
A total of 24 seconds is allocated for Quick Assist
®
voice
messages, 12 seconds for the RQA Message and 12
seconds for the Reset Message.
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.
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.
Power Fail Message
When the Quick Assist
®
is powered with an
ex12VDC supply and batteries are
installed as a back-up, the RQA will transmit the
Power Fail Message on a scheduled basis as long
as the +12VDC external supply is not detected.
Location Message
When installing more than one Quick Assist
®
on a
single frequency it may be desirable to record a
unique Location Message to identify each
individual Quick Assist
®
. The Location Message
will be played after the TX Alert Tone and before
the RQA Message.
To record your Quick Assist
®
Voice Messages:
1. Read existing radio programming.
2. Enter the Number of Inputs you will be using.
3. Select the messages you will be recording.
4. Enter Message Delay on TX time.
5. If there were any changes made during steps

erase the Low Battery, Power Fail, or
Location messages.
6. To record a new message, press the desired
RECORD button and follow the instructions
on the Record Message dialog box.
7. The RECORDED checkbox will now indicate
that the message is recorded.
After you have recorded the message you can
review by pressing the associated PLAY button.
The Quick Assist
®
will transmit the message on
the transmit frequency associated with the input
selected.
