Latching Input Mode - Use the Quick Talk
Input mode if repeated transmissions are desired with a
momentary switch (i.e. a push-button). The latching
effect maintains message repeats after the momentary
switch change has ended.
Example: To use a Quick Talk
you want it to re-transmit a message several times after
a "Press for Help" push-button is pressed. With the
TM
Quick Talk
set to Latching Input mode, release of the
push-button is ignored and the message is re-
transmitted as scheduled.
Message Repeat
Repeat Message on each transmission
Your recorded voice message can be programmed to
repeat from one time to nine times on each Quick
TM
Talk
radio transmission, depending on how you
program this feature. More urgent messages may have
more phrase repeats.
Example: You recorded the message "Pump Motor
Hot", then programmed Quick Talk
phrase two (2) times in each transmission. In this case,
activating the switch results in the Quick Talk
transmitting:
"...beep. Pump motor hot. Pump motor hot. beep..." The
beginning and ending beeps are added automatically to
attract attention to Quick Talk
Repeat Message with multiple transmissions
You can set a limit to the number of times the message
will be transmitted at the scheduled intervals.
Example: Suppose you have a vehicle detector switch
that closes when it detects a vehicle at the delivery door
of your building. Your recorded message might then be
"Vehicle at Delivery Door". You may want this message

to be transmitted every two minutes for approximately a
quarter hour after a vehicle is detected, then to stop
transmitting until the vehicle is moved. In this case, you
would program the message Wait Time for every two
minutes, and set the Message Limit to "8", as described
here.
When a vehicle arrives, the switch closes and the
message is transmitted every 2 minutes until it has
been sent 8 times over a span of 16 minutes, unless the
vehicle leaves before 16 minutes has lapsed. In this
case, the switch opens and the message ceases when
the vehicle is moved.
When another vehicle arrives, the Quick Talk
transmits the message every two minutes for about a
quarter of an hour, or until the vehicle leaves.
TM
The Quick Talk
is set at the factory to transmit switch
status messages without limit. For example, if you
programmed the Quick Talk
message every hour, it would continue to do so until the
battery runs down.
Wait time between repeated transmissions
This sets the amount of time the Quick Talk
between repeated transmissions. You can program a
different Wait Time for the open condition, and for the
closed condition of your switch.
Example: The switch status message for switch open is
"Pump motor temperature OK". You may schedule the
TM
Quick Talk
to transmit this message once every two
hours; this way, you know the Quick Talk
properly.
If the corresponding switch status message for switch
closed is "Pump Motor Over Temperature", you may
TM
schedule the Quick Talk
every two minutes, so the situation would receive
prompt attention.
