ABOUT THE QUICK TALKTM VOICE NOTIFICATION TRANSMITTER
GENERAL INFORMATION
TM
The Quick Talk
changes in the status of switches by transmitting userrecorded voice messages to two-way mobile, portable or
base station radios. Quick Talk transmits your voice
message when the switch change occurs, and at intervals
you select.
Because you provide and connect the switches, your
Quick Talk units can report on the status of intrusion,
tampering, equipment malfunction, liquid levels, machinery, pressure, temperature, power, smoke or leakage.
The Quick Talk is easily programmed to transmit on either
an existing or a new radio frequency, with the most popular
sub-audible coded squelch formats, such as Quiet Call®
or Digital Quiet Call
with JOBCOM®, PATRIOT® or equivalent two-way radios
to hear the voice messages instantly, and to be advised of
the current condition of each monitored location or device.
Quick Talk is housed in a weather-resistant enclosure, so it
can be installed in a wide variety of indoor and outdoor
locations. Because its six internal AA Alkaline batteries
will power the unit for about a year, Quick Talk does not
require AC line power.

PROGRAMMING YOUR QUICK TALK
qtm9322b.pm5
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT QUICK TALK:
Do I have to program my Quick Talk? You may not need
to program your Quick Talk at all. If you purchased a Quick
Talk that is factory-programmed to your radio system
frequency (check the Color Dots on your radios and the
Quick Talk), and you do not use a form of Quiet Call coded
squelch, you can connect your switch to the terminals
marked "Switch #1", install the batteries and start using
Quick Talk. The factory default voice messages are
"Switch Open" and "Switch Closed". Otherwise, read this
manual, then program your Quick Talk.
Do I need to program every feature? In many cases, no.
The factory pre-programmed settings, explained in the
instructions, may meet many of your needs.
How do I program my Quick Talk? Quick Talk is designed to be programmed using a commonly available
standard telephone unit to enter programming information
and also to record custom voice messages. However, the
telephone must be both capable of and also switched to
"Pulse" operation. The telephone is used only for programming; it is to be disconnected when the Quick Talk is
operating normally.
What if I don't find what I need in this manual? Call
Ritron; we will be glad to help you. For most applications,
this manual should cover everything you will need to know.
However, the Quick Talk has more capabilities and features
than described here. The Advanced Features Owner's
Manual, or the Application Notes listed on the inside cover
may also be of help. Contact us at Ritron; we can make
Quick Talk do just about anything.
Will it harm the Quick Talk if I program it improperly?
No; however, you may need to erase all programming and
start over; see page 10 to do this. Feel free to experiment
with the various features and possible configurations.
Can my settings or messages get lost or erased if the
battery runs down, or if my Quick Talk is disconnected?
No. The settings and voice messages you enter are stored
in special electronic memory devices in the Quick Talk that
do not require power to hold the information. This means
that if the batteries run down or if you remove them, you
will not need to reprogram the unit. All your settings and
messages will be there for you when you install fresh
batteries.
What if I need more range? To increase the range of your
Quick Talk transmissions, we suggest you first relocate the
unit. Depending on the type of switch and wiring, you may
use several hundred feet of wiring to connect the switch —
this allows installation of the Quick Talk and its attached
antenna for the best range, at an unobstructed and
elevated position.
Also, Ritron offers several optional "high gain" antennas.
And, Ritron can provide a radio repeater to increase the
range not only for your Quick Talk, but also for your entire
radio system.
TEST THE TELEPHONE YOU WILL USE TO PROGRAM
THE QUICK TALK:
A telephone that generates only Touch Tones
CANNOT BE USED to program the Quick Talk.
Most special office telephones, speaker phones,
and telephones with lighted dials usually cannot be
used to program the Quick Talk.
a. Remove the screws from the Quick Talk, then
remove the cover from the unit. Use care to not
damage or disturb any exposed internal components.
b. Install six new alkaline "AA" batteries in the Quick
Talk, matching the polarity marks on the batteries
with the marks on the battery holder.
c. Be sure your telephone is capable of "Pulse" mode.
Most modern telephones have a selection switch for
"P" (Pulse) and "T" (Tone). A "Pulse" mode telephone generates a rapid series of clicks (rather than
Touch Tones) with the input (dialing) of each digit. If
the telephone has this switch, it must be set to "P"
(Pulse) to program the Quick Talk.
d. The telephone must have a cord with a standard
modular plug attached; insert the plug into the
telephone jack in the Quick Talk.
e. Test the telephone for suitability by plugging it into
the Quick Talk's telephone jack and dialing "0"
(Operator). A repeating busy signal in the telephone
earpiece indicates it is acceptable for programming
the Quick Talk.
If this telephone does not check out, try another.
Using the Telephone to Program Quick Talk
Program the Quick Talk by dialing telephone numbers
•
representing commands and settings, as this manual
instructs.
If you make a dialing error while programming, hang
•
up the handset, then pick it up and dial again.
What the Tones (Beeps) in the Telephone Receiver Mean
Quick Talk sounds a brief acknowledgment tone
•
when you pick up the telephone handset; wait to hear
this tone before you dial.
Quick Talk emits a series of repeating tones until
•
you hang up, if you mis-dial or if you use an invalid
command; you may then pick up the handset and try
your command again.
Quick Talk responds with a confirmation tone after
•
you dial command and setting numbers; you may
then either hang up or dial another command.
A series of three short tones cues you to begin
•
speaking when you dial the command for recording a
voice message into Quick Talk.

PROGRAMMING YOUR QUICK TALK TRANSMITTER FREQUENCY
What is my Radio System Frequency? Ritron pioneered
the Color Dot system to simplify the identification of radio
system frequencies for Ritron Jobcom radios. Color Dots
are placed on the bottoms of and inside the enclosures of
all Jobcom radios. Other manufacturers have also adopted
this idea.
To identify your assigned frequency if your radios do not
have a color dot, locate a label identifying the receiver
frequency in megahertz (MHz). Your assigned frequency is
also shown on your F.C.C. Station License. Call your radio
dealer or Ritron for help if you cannot determine your
radio's receiver frequency.
Do I need to program my Quick Talk's transmitter
frequency? The original factory-programmed transmitter
frequency of your Quick Talk is marked on the outside of
the shipping box, and is also indicated by a color dot on the
inside the unit case. If the Quick Talk frequency matches
your radio system frequency, and if the Quick Talk has not
been reprogrammed since it left the factory, you may skip
this section and proceed to the next.
TO PROGRAM THE QUICK TALK TRANSMITTER
FREQUENCY:
a. Determine the frequency of your radio system.
b. Find your frequency in the appropriate table at right,
and determine its corresponding two digit code. If
your radio system frequency is not in the chart, your
Quick Talk must be programmed by a radio dealer
or by Ritron.
c. Pick up the telephone receiver, and listen for the
acknowledge tone. Dial "11", then the digits of the
selected frequency code from the table.
Examples: If the Quick Talk is a VHF RQT-150
model, and the radios operate on
154.570 MHz (Blue Dot frequency),
dial "11-02".
If the Quick Talk is a UHF RQT-450
model, and the radios operate on
467.925 MHz (Blue Star frequency),
dial "11-08".
d. Quick Talk responds with a single beep to indicate it
has programmed the transmitter frequency.
e. You may either hang up or continue programming.
NOTES: If you make a dialing mistake while program-
ming, hang up the telephone handset, then
pick it up and dial again.
If you reprogrammed the Quick Talk frequency,
you may wish to remove the Color Dot from
inside the case, to avoid later confusion.
What the Tones (Beeps) in Your Earpiece Mean:
A series of three short tones cues you to begin
•
recording a message.
A single brief tone means your command is
•
accepted and stored.
A series of long repeating tones means your
•
command was not understood; hang up and dial
again.

PROGRAMMING THE QUIET CALL SUB-AUDIBLE CODED SQUELCH
INTERFERENCE ELIMINATOR
What is Quiet Call Sub Audible Coded Squelch?
The Quick Talk radio transmitter is compatible with two
standard communications industry sub-audible signaling
formats: QC® (Quiet Call Interference Eliminator), and
TM
DQC
(Digital Quiet Call Interference Eliminator). Both
Quiet Call formats unlock receivers programmed to require
these codes -- they screen out interference from other radio
systems operating on your same frequency.
QC® Quiet Call is Ritron’s trade name for what the
communications industry calls sub-audible (below
the range of human hearing) tone squelch, or
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Subaudible
Squelch). Other radio manufacturers use different
trade-names for essentially the same system. You
may program a specific QC code into your Quick
Talk to transmit with the voice messages, which will
"unlock" the receivers in your radio system.
DQCTMDigital Quiet Call is Ritron’s digital coded squelch,
and works the same as QC, except it is a digital
code that is transmitted with the voice messages.
Do I need to program my Quick Talk with a Quiet Call
Code? Your radio system may or may not use coded
squelch signaling. If you have programmed the Quick Talk
to match your radio frequency, and your radios are not
receiving Quick Talk transmissions unless the "monitor" or
"test" button is pressed, your system is probably using
Coded Squelch. Refer to your radio manual, or contact
your radio dealer or Ritron if you are unsure about this
issue.
If your Quick Talk was previously programmed with a Quiet
Call code and you need to remove it, follow the procedure
below, using No Tone code, "44", as shown in the table.

TEST YOUR QUICK TALK
RADIO TRANSMITTER
What is the purpose of testing the Quick Talk radio transmitter?
After following the previous instructions, your Quick Talk will be
programmed to transmit on the same frequency as your radio
receivers, and you also will have programmed your Quick Talk to
transmit any coded squelch signals required for your radio
system.
Do I need to test my Quick Talk Transmitter? Yes; performing
this test now will save you time and confusion later.
TO TEST THE QUICK TALK RADIO TRANSMITTER:
a. Attach the Quick Talk flexible antenna.
b. Turn on your radio receiver.
c. Momentarily place a screwdriver, paper clip or other
electrically conductive item across the Switch #1 terminals.
d. Quick Talk transmits the Closed and Open Switch mes-
sages, which you should be able to hear on your radio
receiver.
If you do not hear the messages, you have probably not
properly programmed the Quick Talk transmitter frequency
or the Quiet Call Coded Squelch. In this case, repeat the
programming, then perform this test again.

TEST YOUR SWITCH'S OPEN AND CLOSED CONDITIONS
What is the purpose of testing my switch? In Quick
Talk's basic operating mode, you may record two (2) voice
messages for the Quick Talk to transmit. One message is
transmitted when the switch is Opened and the other is
transmitted when the switch is Closed. Each message
must be eight (8) seconds or less in length.
Before you record these switch condition messages,
determine how your switch works by using the factory
prerecorded messages in the Quick Talk. After you have
programmed the Quick Talk with your radio system
frequency and with any required sub-audible squelch
codes, use the following procedure.
Do I need to test my switch? 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 Quick Talk transmitter
frequency — and, if required for your radio system, the
Quiet Call Interference Eliminator squelch code.
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 Quick Talk terminals
labeled Switch #1. See Figure 2 below.
3. Reinstall fresh AA Alkaline batteries in the Quick
Talk 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.
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.
NOTE: We suggest that you do not record over the
factory prerecorded messages until you are
sure how your switch works. If the factoryprogrammed messages have been erased,
you will have to use an electrician's continuity
tester or similar instrument to determine
how your switch works.

RECORDING VOICE PHRASES FOR YOUR SWITCH CONDITIONS
What is the purpose of Recording Voice Phrases?
Recording customized voice phrases gives Quick Talk
messages 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.
Do I need to program Voice Phrases? If the factoryrecorded messages "Switch Open" and "Switch Closed"
suit your application, you may skip this section.
Your recorded voice message will sound only as good as
the telephone set you use. If your message has the audio
too low, record it again, speaking louder. If your message
is distorted, record it again, speaking softer. If you are
dissatisfied with the audio quality, try a different telephone
set.
When the Quick Talk is transmitting, it draws maximum
power from the battery, and can also interfere with other
transmissions. Therefore, when you record a voice phrase,
hang up when you are finished speaking. Otherwise, the
Quick Talk transmitter will be on for the full eight seconds,
regardless of the actual message length.
To Record Your Switch Open Condition Phrase
a. Pick up the telephone receiver, wait for the beep
and dial "311".
Quick Talk sounds three short tones to prompt you
to begin speaking . . .
b. Record a phrase no longer than eight seconds,
describing the open condition of your switch.
Example: "Pump motor temperature OK".
c. Hang up the telephone when you complete your
phrase.
d. Pick up the telephone and dial "411". Your phrase
will be played back through the telephone receiver.
e. Return to Step a above and record again if you are
not pleased with the results.
To Record Your Switch CLOSED Condition Phrase
a. Pick up the telephone receiver, wait for the beep
and dial "312".
Quick Talk sounds three tones to prompt you to
begin speaking . . .
b. Record a phrase no longer than eight seconds,
describing the closed condition of your switch.
Example: "Pump motor over temperature".
c. Hang up the telephone when you complete your
phrase.
d. Pick up the telephone and dial "412". Your phrase
will be played back through the telephone receiver.
e. Return to Step a above and record again if you are
not pleased with the results.
PLAYING BACK THE OPEN AND CLOSED VOICE PHRASES
FOR YOUR SWITCH CONDITIONS
To Play Back the Switch Open Condition Phrase
a. Pick up the telephone.
b. After the tone, dial "411". Quick Talk plays the
Switch Open condition phrase.
Example: "Pump motor temperature OK".
c. Wait for the confirmation beep, then hang up the
telephone, or continue programming.
Page 8
For assistance, call RITRON at 1-800-872-1872, or go to < http://www.ritron.com >
To Play Back the Switch Closed Condition Phrase
a. Pick up the telephone.
b. After the tone, dial "412". Quick Talk plays the
Switch Closed condition phrase.
Example: "Pump motor running hot".
c. Wait for the confirmation beep, then hang up the
telephone, or continue programming.
qtm9322b.pm5
PROGRAMMING HOW MANY TIMES YOUR
RECORDED VOICE PHRASES ARE
REPEATED IN EACH TRANSMISSION
What is the purpose of setting the number of times the
Voice Phrase is repeated in each Transmission? Your
previously recorded voice phrase can be programmed to
repeat from one time to nine times in each Quick Talk radio
transmission, depending on how you program this feature.
More urgent messages may have more phrase repeats.
Example: You previously recorded the message "Pump
Motor Hot", then programmed Quick Talk to repeat the
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 transmissions.
Do I need to program this feature? The Quick Talk is
set at the factory to play each recorded voice phrase one
time in each transmission. If this is sufficient for your
application, you can skip to the next section, in which we
explain how to program the transmission itself to be
repeated at different intervals.
To Program the Number of Times the Switch Open
Phrase is Repeated in Each Transmission:
1. Pick up the telephone receiver; listen for the tone.
2. Dial "711" then a single digit indicating how many
times you want the voice phrase repeated in each
transmission, as shown in Table 4.
Example: To repeat the phrase three times, dial
"711-3".
Wait for the confirmation tone after dialing.
3. Hang up the telephone or continue programming.
..."
PROGRAMMING A BROADCAST
SCHEDULE FOR SWITCH STATUS
TRANSMISSIONS
What is the purpose of programming a Broadcast
Schedule for Switch Status Transmissions? You can
program different switch status transmission schedules 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 Quick Talk to transmit this message
once every two hours; this way, you know the Quick
Talk is operating properly.
If the corresponding switch status message for switch
closed is "Pump Motor Over Temperature", you may
schedule the Quick Talk to broadcast this message
every two minutes, so the situation would receive
prompt attention.
Do I need to program this feature? The Quick Talk is
set at the factory to transmit a switch status message one
time with each switch change. If this is sufficient for your
application, you can skip to the next section.
To Program a Broadcast Schedule of Switch Status
Transmissions for the Switch Open Condition:
1. Pick up the telephone receiver; listen for the tone.
2. Dial "511", then dial the one-digit code number from
Table 5 below.
The Factory Default is "511-1", which means the
transmission is sent one time when the switch
changes to open condition.
Wait for the confirmation beep after dialing.
3. Hang up the telephone or continue programming.
To Program the Number of Times the Switch Closed
Phrase is Repeated in Each Transmission:
1. Pick up the telephone receiver, listen for the tone.
2. Dial "712", then a single digit indicating how many
times you want the voice phrase repeated in each
transmission, as shown in Table 4.
Example: To repeat the phrase five times, dial
"712-5".
Wait for the confirmation tone after dialing.
3. Hang up the telephone or continue programming.

PROGRAMMING A LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF SCHEDULED TRANSMISSIONS
What is the purpose of limiting the number of times a
scheduled voice message is transmitted? In the
previous section, you have programmed the Quick Talk to
transmit a switch status message at regular intervals. In
this section, 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
schedule (in the previous section of this manual), 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 again
transmits the message every two minutes for about a
quarter of an hour, or until the vehicle leaves.
Do I need to program this feature? The Quick Talk is set
at the factory to transmit switch status messages without
limit. For example, if you programmed the Quick Talk to
transmit a status message every hour, it would continue to
do so until the battery runs down. If this programming is
sufficient for your application, you can skip to the next
section.
Set Scheduled Message Repeat Limit for Switch Open
a. From Table 6 below, select the code number for the
desired number of messages.
b. Lift the telephone receiver and dial "611", then dial
the selected Code Number.
Quick Talk responds with the single confirmation
tone.
c. You may either hang up or continue programming.
Set Scheduled Message Repeat Limit for Switch Closed
a. From Table 6 below, select the code number for the
desired number of messages.
b. Lift the telephone receiver and dial "612", then dial

qtm9322b.pm5
RECORDING A UNIQUE LOW BATTERY
MESSAGE TO IDENTIFY A QUICK TALK
What is the purpose of recording a unique Voice
Phrase for the Low Battery Message? When it senses
the installed batteries are nearly run down, Quick Talk will
transmit one time each hour the factory-programmed
message: "Low Battery". If you maintain several Quick
Talk transmitters within radio range of each other, you may
customize this feature to easily determine which unit needs
new batteries.
Do I need to program this feature? If you use only one
Quick Talk in any area, or if you regularly change Quick
Talk batteries, the factory-programmed message may be
sufficient for your application. You can skip to the next
section.
To Program the Low Battery Alert Phrase:
a. Pick up the telephone receiver, wait for the beep,
then dial "35".
Quick Talk sounds three short tones to prompt you
to begin speaking . . .
b. Record a phrase no longer than one and one-half
(1.5) seconds, indicating Low Battery, and identifying the Quick Talk unit.
For example say: "Low Battery Five".
c. Hang up the telephone when you are done speak-
ing.
d. Pick up the telephone and dial "45" to hear your
phrase played back through the telephone receiver.
e. If you are not pleased with the results, you may

ADDING A SECOND SWITCH TO DISABLE
THE QUICK TALK TRANSMITTER
What is the purpose adding a second switch to disable
the Quick Talk? There may be times you want the Quick
Talk to not transmit messages.
Example: If you use the Quick Talk to report the status
of an entry door for the night watchman, you may wish
to not hear the status messages throughout the day.
You can use the second switch to disable the Quick
Talk during the day.
Do I need to add a second switch? If you do not need to
enable and disable Quick Talk messaging, there is no need
to connect a switch to the Switch #2 terminals. Leave the
Switch #2 Factory Jumper in place. You can skip to the
next section.
To add a second switch to disable Quick Talk
Messaging:
a. Remove the shorting jumper from the Switch #2
terminals.
b. Connect an external switch to the terminals marked
Switch #2.
NOTE: When Switch #2 is closed, Quick Talk
functions normally. When Switch #2 is open,
Quick Talk is disabled and will not transmit
messages.
When Switch #2 has been open (Quick Talk
disabled), and it is then closed, Quick Talk
transmits the prerecorded message describing the current condition of Switch #1.
NOTE: We suggest you physically mark the Quick
Talk with the same unique identifier
(number) you recorded.
RESTART THE QUICK TALK WHEN YOU
ARE DONE PROGRAMMING
What is the purpose of restarting the Quick Talk? If
you have changed message schedules or limits, restarting
the Quick Talk ensures that all of internal clocks and

radio transmissions. Choose a well-shaded location.
NOTE: An optional high gain antenna is available
from Ritron; call for information.
6. Position the unit as shown in Figure 3, and secure it
in place with screws through the enclosure flanges. Do
not overtighten these screws; you might break the
plastic flanges.
IMPORTANT: Contact a qualified technician or
electrician 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 or
equivalent.
NOTE: Refer to the Advanced Features Owner's Manual
for information on using rechargeable NiCad AA
batteries, charged by an optional external
12 Volt DC power supply.
Estimated Battery Life: Starting with a fresh set of AA
alkaline batteries, Quick Talk can transmit about 7,000
voice messages over a period of one year before the
batteries will need to be replaced.
Automatic Low Battery Alert Message: If the battery
voltage drops below approximately 6 Volts, the Quick Talk
transmits a factory prerecorded message, "Low Battery",
every 60 minutes. When this occurs, replace the batteries
promptly — within a day or so.

limited warranty as it applies to the covered product. Incidental and
consequential damages are not recoverable under this warranty (this
includes loss of use or time, inconvenience, business interruption,
commercial loss, lost profits or savings). Some states do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or
limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above
limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. Because each
covered product system is unique, RITRON disclaims liability for
range, coverage, or operation of the system as a whole under this
warranty.
