PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES ...............................................................................................................................
Power Options Screen
The Low Battery Alert message can be programmed for unique
frequencies, tones, and Voice message.
FIG-5: Programmer Power Options Screen
Frequency Table #
To match other RITRON radios, the owner can select from a
table of transmit frequencies. Simply “read-out” the Frequency
Code of your RITRON portable, mobile or base radio and enter
the same code when programming the Quick Assist
®
.
Transmit Frequency
Once you have selected a Frequency Code the actual transmit
frequency will appear here. If your operating frequency does
not appear on the Frequency Code list, a licensed radio
service technician will be able to enter other frequencies within
the radio’s operating band.
QC or DQC Code
Select from a list of QC and DQC Codes to transmit subaudible
squelch tones for interference elimination.
DQC Invert
The DQC Digital Quiet Call
TM
code can be inverted for systems
that require inversion.
Compand
Set Compand for compression of the transmit audio.
“Companding” is a combination of audio “compression” in the
transmitter and audio “expanding” in the receiver. To determine
if your existing 2-way radios are using the Companding
feature, you can check the radio’s User Manual, contact your
radio dealer, or call Ritron for help.
TX Alert Tone
The Quick Assist
®
can transmit an alert tone before each voice
message transmission.
ANI
Power Alerts messages can be programmed with a unique 9
digit DTMF or Selcall ANI string. The ANI will be transmitted
immediately prior to the Alert Tone and Power Alert message.
To program an ANI string, select Selcall or DTMF and enter
the string in the value field.
Message Repeat
Time between transmissions
This sets the amount of time the Quick Assist
®
will wait before
re-transmitting a Low Battery Alert message. Keep in mind
that the Quick Assist
®
turns off after all scheduled “Assistance
needed” messages have been transmitted. If the Low Battery
Alert “Time between transmissions” is greater than the total
scheduled assistance time the Low Battery Alert message will
not be repeated.
Repeat Message on each transmission
Your recorded voice message can be programmed to repeat
from one time to nine times on each Quick Assist
®
radio
transmission, depending on how you program this feature.
Urgent messages may require more phrase repeats.
Voice Messages
Refer to the Recording Your Quick Assist
®
Messages section
of this manual for instructions on recording voice messages.
