QUICK TALK INSTALLATION
WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED PROGRAMMING:
1. Hang up and disconnect the telephone from the
internal jack on the Quick Talk.
2. Test the operation of the Quick Talk before putting it
into service by activating the switch and listening to
message(s) received on your radio.
3. Replace the cover and (4) cover screws; snug down,
but do not overtighten the screws. Excessive force can
break plastic enclosure material.
4. Attach the antenna and seal the connection. Refer to
Figure 12 at right.
a. Insert, rotate and lock the antenna into Quick Talk
antenna jack.
b. Orient antenna in vertical position.
c. Seal antenna connection to hold antenna in vertical
position, to protect antenna fittings, and to maintain
water-resistance of the Quick Talk in wet or outdoor
environments.
Use Archer Connector Sealant, Radio Shack
Catalog Number 278-1645 or an equivalent. Wrap
the connection with sealant tape and press it
securely in place. See Figure 12, at right, and
instructions with the sealant.
5. Test for sufficient broadcast range when choosing
the location. For maximum range and coverage, install
the unit as high as possible off the ground. Choose a
well-shaded location. Be aware that metal and wires
near the antenna can block or absorb radio transmis-
sions.
NOTE: An optional high gain antenna is available from
Ritron; call 1-800-872-1872 for information.
6. Position the unit as shown in FIG–12, and secure it in
place with screws through the enclosure flanges. Do
not overtighten these screws, as the plastic flanges
may break from excessive pressure.
IMPORTANT: Call a qualified electrician or technician
if you are not certain your installation will
work properly and safely.
Batteries: Use only fresh, new alkaline batteries when
programming Quick Talk. Acceptable brands and types
are: Duracell MX1500B, Eveready E91, RayOvac 815 and
equivalents.
NOTE: For information on using rechargeable Ni-Cd AA
batteries charged by an optional external 12 Volt DC
power supply, refer to page 18 of this manual.
Estimated Battery Life: Starting with a fresh set of AA
alkaline batteries, Quick Talk can transmit about 7,000
voice messages before batteries will need replacement.
Automatic Low Battery Alert Message: If battery
voltage drops below approximately 6 Volts, Quick Talk
transmits the factory prerecorded message "Low Battery"
no more often than every 60 minutes. When this occurs,
replace batteries promptly—within a day or so.

* WARNING: The antenna connection MUST BE SEALED
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Temperature: Quick Talk is designed to operate between
-22 and +140
also depends on specifications of batteries in the unit.
Alkaline battery power decreases in extreme cold—e.g.: a
power loss of 20% at 14
do not subject Quick Talk to extreme heat or direct sun. The
ideal outdoor location is shaded.
Moisture: When cover gasket (page 3) and antenna
sealant (above) recommendations are followed, Quick Talk is
highly weather-resistant to outdoor environments. Do not
immerse the unit in water.
Vibrations/ Shocks: Although it is of rugged design,
Quick Talk cannot be expected to survive extreme abuse.
Chemicals: Use only a cloth moistened with water to clean
the Quick Talk case. Do not attempt to clean the printed circuit
board, located inside the housing.
