In the Quick Talk
TM
basic operating mode, you will record two (2) voice messages for the Quick Talk
TM
to transmit.
One message is transmitted when the switch is OPEN and the other is transmitted when the switch is CLOSED.
Before you record these switch condition messages, determine how your switch works by using the factory
prerecorded messages in the Quick Talk
Before you record these switch condition messages, determine how your switch works by using the factory

If you are certain of the conditions which cause your switch to open and close, you do not need to perform this test.
However, we recommend you do test your switch, because doing so will confirm you have properly programmed the

squelch code.
To Test Your Switch and Verify Reception of Messages by Your Radios:
To Test Your Switch and Verify Reception of Messages by Your Radios:
1. Remove the batteries from the holder.
2. Review the safety precautions on Page ii of this manual before connecting your switches. When you are sure
your connections will be safe, connect your switch to the wires on the Quick Talk
TM
color-coded cable described
in Table 6.
3. Reinstall fresh AA Alkaline batteries in the Quick Talk
TM
according to the polarity marks.
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 a description of how the condition of your
switch corresponds to the transmitted message. Then deactivate the switch and listen to the other transmitted
message; again, write down the results.
switch corresponds to the transmitted message. Then deactivate the switch and listen to the other transmitted
message; again, write down the results.
5. From performing Step 4, above, you should understand how your switch works, and the meaning of its open and
closed states — essential knowledge to program a descriptive voice message for each switch condition.
For example, if your switch is a magnetic reed switch on a door, and the switch closes when the door is opened,
you can record the phrase “Door three open” for the switch closed condition, and then “Door three closed” for the
switch open condition. Note that magnetic reed switches are available which work in the opposite way.

you can record the phrase “Door three open” for the switch closed condition, and then “Door three closed” for the

NOTE: We suggest that you do not record over the factory prerecorded messages until you are sure how your
switch works. If the factory programmed messages have been erased, you will have to use an electrician’s
continuity tester or similar instrument to determine how your switch works.

What is the purpose of Recording Custom Voice Messages?
Recording customized Quick Talk
TM
voice messages gives them unmistakable meaning and significance. The
standard factory prerecorded messages of “Switch Open” and “Switch Closed” require the listener to know how the
switch works and what it does. However, when a user hears a custom message such as ‘Water pump three running
hot”, the meaning is clear.

If the factory- recorded messages “Switch Open” and “Switch Closed” suit your application, recording custom

Setting Battery Saver Options .....................................................................................................................
The Battery Saver factory default is “Battery Saver enabled.” With this setting the Quick Talk

When the Battery Saver Option is disabled, it is recommended that Quick Talk
TM
is powered with an external power
supply. This is because it draws approximately 7 mA continuously with this setting and will rapidly drain the batteries.
NOTE: DO NOT disable the Battery Saver unless you need to detect very fast changes on the inputs.
