Basic Quick Talk™ Radio Operation .......................................
Keyfob Code Operation – RQT-xxx-RCVR models
RQT-xxx-RCVR models can be set for operation with the RQA-1B,
allowing input operation and Wireless Call Button operation on the same
Quick Talk™ for maximum flexibility. There is only a single "Location"
message available, but the codes are compatible with Ritron RQT-
KEYFOB models to allow simultaneous operation.
If an RQT-xxx-RCVR model Quick Talk™ input is set for "KEYFOB"
operation it will no longer respond to switch closures or analog signals,
the two input messages can only be activated by the RQA-1B or the two
keyfobs associated with that input. Refer to the
Programming section of this manual for details of KEYFOB input
programming and the programming options available.
After the radio has been programmed and installed, Ritron model Keyfobs
and the RQA-1B can be used to activate the Quick Talk™ transmitter and
broadcast unique, user recorded voice messages.
Quick Talk™ Radio Battery Life ...............................................
In order for the RQT Quick Talk™ to reliably decode signals from the RQA-
1B transmitters, RQT radio models with the RQT-433-RCVR receiver
installed have increased current requirements and do not operate in the low
current "standby" mode. Therefore, battery life is severely reduced and it is
recommended that the RQT Quick Talk™ be externally powered. Where
battery life of a Quick Talk™ would normally be about 1 year, it drops to
about 2 weeks with the RQT-433-RCVR installed.

Setting up an RQT Quick Talk
There are two basic benefits to using the RQA-1B with an RQT-xxx-RCVR
model RQT Quick Talk™:
• It allows RQT input operation of the Quick Talk™ on unused Inputs not
assigned to RQA-1B operation.
• It allows the RQA-1B to work in conjunction with Ritron model Keyfobs.
The RCVR model RQT Quick Talk™ was developed for use with Ritron
Keyfobs, so the RQA-1B is essentially operating as a single-button keyfob. It
is important to recognize this as you set up the RCVR system.
RQT Quick Talk™ Programming for RCVR Models
Programming an RQT-xxx-RCVR model transmitter for KEYFOB operation
requires Ritron PC Programmer RQT-PCPS or RQT-BASIC-PCPS revision
1.2.0 or higher.
On RQT-xxx-RCVR models, the Quick Talk™ inputs can operate on 2 pre-
assigned Ritron keyfobs, or on 2 pre-assigned RQA-1B buttons per the
following charts.
