QUICK ASSIST APPLICATION
The Quick Assist is a radio transmitter, specialized for retail or commercial use, and pre-
programmed to transmit a custom-recorded "assistance needed" message when the
Message push-button is pressed for customer assistance. Personnel know from these
message transmissions in which specific areas a customer needs assistance.
The Quick Assist is also equipped with a Reset push-button for the use of personnel.
When the Reset push-button is pressed (which stops the "assistance needed" message
and resets the unit), the Quick Assist transmits a custom-programmed "assistance no
longer needed" message, to further inform store personnel.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Temperature:
The Quick Assist is designed to operate
between -22 and +140 F. Within this temperature range,
good radio performance also depends on specifications
of batteries powering the unit. Alkaline battery power
decreases in extreme colde.g.: a power loss of 20% at
14 F. Like all electronic equipment, Quick Assist should not
be subjected to extreme heat. A shaded area is an ideal
outdoor location.
Moisture:
When Cover Gasket (above) and Antenna
sealant (page 8) recommendations are followed, the Quick
Assist is highly weather-resistant to outdoor environments.
Do not immerse the unit in water.
Vibrations/ Shocks:
Although it is of rugged design, the
Quick Assist cannot be expected to survive extreme abuse.
Chemicals:
Do not use harsh, corrosive or abrasive
chemicals to clean the Quick Assist case; use only a cloth
moistened with water. Do not attempt to clean the printed
circuit board, which is located inside the housing.
Batteries:
Use only fresh, new alkaline batteries when
programming Quick Assist. Acceptable brands and types
are: Duracell MX1500B, Eveready E91, Rayovac 815, or
equivalent.
NOTE: Refer to page 6 of this manual for information on
using rechargeable NiCad AA batteries, charged
by an optional external 12 Volt DC power supply.
Estimated Battery Life:
Starting with a fresh set of AA
alkaline batteries, Quick Assist can transmit about 7,000
voice messages over a period of one year before the
batteries will need replacement.
Automatic Low Battery Alert Message:
If the
battery voltage drops below approximately 6 Volts, the
Quick Assist transmits the factory prerecorded message
"Low Battery" every 60 minutes. When this occurs,
replace the batteries promptly within a day or so.
Remove the unit from the wall or other mounting surface before changing batteries.
The Cover Gasket (Pt. No. 25605600) must be in good
condition and correctly installed to seal against environ-
mental hazards for outdoor operation.
CAUTION: If the Cover Gasket is crimped,
damaged or incorrectly installed, rain will
leak into the unit, causing severe damage,
and voiding the warranty. Replace any
damaged Gasket.
a. Place the Cover Assembly on a flat horizontal
surface with the recessed side up. Carefully seat the
Gasket in the recess of the Cover (refer to FIG
-
1at
right).
b. Reconnect the In-line Connectors (refer to page
7). With the Gasket side of the Cover Assembly up,
insert the case into the recess.
c. Replace the four (4) Cover screws. Snug down, but do not overtighten the screws;
excessive force can break the plastic enclosure material.
