TESTING SWITCH OPEN & CLOSED CONDITIONS
After you have programmed the Quick Talk with your
radio system frequency and, if required, Quiet Call
Interference Eliminator squelch code, test your switch to
determine how it works, and the meaning of its open and
closed states. This procedure also reconfirms proper
programming of the transmitter frequency. Use the
following procedure:
Test Your Switch and Confirm Message Reception:
1. Remove the batteries from the holder.
2. Review the safety precautions on page 19 before
connecting your switches. When you are sure your
connections will be safe, connect your switch to
Quick Talk Switch #1 terminals. See Figure 3
below.
3. Reinstall fresh AA Alkaline batteries in the Quick
Talk according to polarity marks on the holder.
4. Activate your switch; listen to your two-way radio as
the factory default messages are transmitted: the
message will be either "Switch One Open" or
"Switch One Closed."
Write down how the switch condition corresponds
to the transmitted message. Then deactivate the
switch and listen to the other message; again,
write down the results.
NOTE: If you do not hear messages, the Quick Talk
transmitter frequency and/ or the Quiet Call
Squelch Code is not programmed properly.
Repeat the procedures on pages 6–8.

5. From performing Step 4, you will understand how
your switch works and the meaning of its open and
closed states—essential information to program a
descriptive message for each switch condition.
EXAMPLE: A magnetic reed switch on a door closes
when the door is opened. You can record
"Door three open" for switch closed condi-
tion, and "Door three closed" for switch open
condition.
NOTE: Magnetic reed switches are available
which work in the opposite way.
6. With the Quick Talk in basic operating mode,
you may then record a voice message to report
each of two (2) switch conditions. One voice
message is to transmit when the switch is open,
and the other when the switch is closed. Refer to
page 10 for message length limits.
NOTES: The above instructions (Steps 1–6) are
written for Switch #1. Before connecting
Switch #2 to an external device, test it in
the same way.
We suggest you not record over factory
prerecorded messages until you are sure
how your switch works. If factory-programmed
messages have been erased (see page 13),
use an electrician's continuity tester or similar
instrument to determine how your switch works.
