RECORDING YOUR QUICK TALK
TM
VOICE MESSAGES .........................................................................................
Each of the four Quick Talk
TM
inputs
can be programmed to play two unique
voice messages, a “Switch Open”
message that plays when the input
changes to an OPEN or HIGH
condition, and a “Switch Closed”
message that plays when the input
changes to a CLOSED or LOW
condition.
Voice messages can be recorded into
the Quick Talk
TM
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 Talk
TM
transmitters.
Number of Inputs
Set the number of RQT inputs that will be used.
Message Delay on TX
Whenever the RQT transmitter is activated it will wait
this length of time before the alert tones and recorded
voice message are sent.
Input Messages
The length of each message is determined by two
factors:
1. The number of inputs to be used.
2. If you will play both an OPEN and CLOSED
message, or just one or the other.
A total of 24 seconds is allocated for all voice messages
related to the four inputs. The 24 seconds is first
divided equally by the number of inputs you have
programmed into your Quick Talk
TM
. Each input is then
divided by the number of messages it will play, either
two messages for both the OPEN and CLOSED
condition or one message if only one condition is
required.
EXAMPLE: If you have programmed your Quick Talk
TM
for two inputs, 12 seconds will be allocated to each
input. If Input 1 transmits both the “Switch Open” and
“Switch Closed” messages they will each be limited to 6
seconds. If Input 2 requires only the “Switch Closed”
message it can be up to 12 seconds.
Carefully consider your requirements before recording
the Quick Talk
TM
voice messages. If you decide later to
use additional inputs, all messages will have to be re-
recorded.
Low Battery Message
When it senses the installed batteries are nearly run
down, Quick Talk
TM
will transmit one time each hour the
factory-programmed message: “Low Battery”. If you
maintain several Quick Talk
TM
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 Talk
TM
in any area, or if you
regularly change Quick Talk
TM
batteries, the factory-
programmed message may be sufficient for your
application.
Power Fail Message
When the Quick Talk
TM
is powered with an external
+12VDC supply and batteries are installed as a back-
up, the RQT 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 Talk
TM
on a single
frequency it may be desirable to record a unique
Location Message to identify each individual Quick
Talk
TM
. The Location Message will be played after the
TX Alert Tone and before the Input Message.
To record your Quick Talk
TM
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.
