Prior to installing the Quick Assist
®
transmitter, it is important to verify all radio programming to be certain that you
have achieved the operation you desire. Re-programming requires the removal of the Quick Assist
®
from its installed
location, which can be time consuming and frustrating.
1.
Install 6 new AA Alkaline batteries into the
internal battery holder
and screw the case halves
together. Be sure the case halves are pulled tightly
together for a good weather seal.
2.
Select a location that provides the best possible
radio coverage.
•
Avoid mounting to metal structures
•
Install as high as possible
•
Be sure the Quick Assist
®
is in a vertical position
•
Be aware that metal or wires near the Quick
Assist
®
can block or absorb radio transmissions.
3.
Temporarily mount the Quick Assist
®
using the
top keyhole slots.
4.
Test the radio from this location to be sure you
get the necessary radio coverage.
This is
achieved by pressing the front panel push button on
the Quick Assist
®
while a second radio-equipped
person receives the transmission at the furthest point
you will need to cover.
5.
Permanently mount the Quick Assist
®
using either
the four (4) corner mounts, or the top and bottom
keyhole slots.
