EST YOUR QUICK ASSIST

PROGRAMMING.................................................................................................................................

Once your Quick Assist

has been programmed it will transmit

on the same frequency as your radio receivers, and will

transmit any coded squelch signals required for your radio

system. Before installing the Quick Assist

you should test for

communication with your radio receivers.

To test the Quick Assist

radio transmitter:

1. Turn on your radio receiver.

2. Press the front panel push button switch.

3. Quick Assist

will transmit the RQA “Assistance needed”

message, which you should be able to hear on your radio

receiver.

4. Press and hold the front panel push button switch until the

front panel LED blinks rapidly.

5. Quick Assist

will transmit the Reset “Quick Assist call

cleared” message, which you should be able to hear on

your radio receiver.

6. If you do not hear the messages, you have probably not

properly programmed the Quick Assist

transmitter

frequency or the Quiet Call

Coded Squelch. In this case,

repeat the programming and perform this test again.

NOTE: The Reset message will not be heard if the radio is not

programmed for Press-and-Hold Reset.

Depending upon your programming, the following sequence

describes what you should hear with your radio receiver:

1. The RQA transmitter is activated on the Transmit

Frequency and QC or DQC Code programmed when the

front panel push button is pressed and released.

2. The RQA will broadcast silence for the programmed

Message Delay on TX Time

3. The RQA will broadcast the TX Alert Tone

if it has been

programmed.

4. The RQA will broadcast the Location Message

if it has

been recorded.

5. The RQA will broadcast the recorded RQA Message

6. The RQA Message will be repeated for the number of

times programmed for Repeat Message on each

Transmission.

7. The RQA transmitter will turn OFF and the RQA will wait

for the period of time programmed for Wait Time between

Transmissions.

8. If Repeat Message Transmissions has been programmed

for more than one transmission, the RQA transmitter will

again be activated and Steps 1 – 7 will be repeated for the

programmed number of transmissions.

9. If at any time during this sequence the front panel button

is held down until the LED begins flashing rapidly, the

RQA will transmit the Reset Message

and the sequence

will be terminated.
