ABOUT THE QUICK TALK

WIRELESS VOICE MONITOR & ALARM.......................................................................

General Information

The Quick TaIk

is a wireless radio transmitter that

reports changes in the status of switches by

transmitting user-recorded voice messages to two-way

mobile, portable or base station radios. Quick Talk

transmits your voice message when the switch change

occurs, and at intervals you select.

Because you provide and connect the switches, your

Quick Talk

units can report on the status of intrusion,

tampering, equipment malfunction, liquid levels,

machinery, pressure, temperature, power, smoke or

leakage.

The Quick Talk

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 Call

. This enables all

your personnel with JOBCOM

, PATRIOT

, or

equivalent two- way radios to hear the voice messages

instantly, and to be advised of the current condition of

each monitored location or device.

Quick Talk

is housed in a weather-resistant

enclosure, so it can be installed in a wide variety of

indoor and outdoor locations. Because it’s six internal

AA Alkaline batteries will power the unit for about a

year, Quick Talk

does not require AC line power.

Quick Talk

Models and Frequencies

There are two Quick Talk

models, one for each of the

most popular professional radio communications bands.

The model number appears on a label on the front of

the case, and on a second label inside the case.

MODEL

BAND FREQUENCY RANGE

RQT-151 VHF-FM 150 to 165 MHz

RQT-451 UHF-FM 450 to 470 MHz

Ritron manufactures mobile, portable and base station

two-way radios and repeaters for use with Quick Talk

Ritron pioneered the use of Color Dots on radios to

identify frequencies.

Factory-programmed, default Quick Talk

frequencies

are:

Red Dot = 151.625 MHz for VHF units;

Blue Star = 467.925 MHz for UHF units.

See page 4 for instructions on changing the Quick

Talk

transmit frequency to match an existing radio

system.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING WITH REGARD TO RF EXPOSURE FOR THIS PRODUCT .........................................

EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY:

RQA-151: 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: 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.
