1 ANTENNA CONNECTOR
The antenna radiates radio signals. Before using
Quick Talk, make sure the antenna is fastened
securely to this connector. See page 19.
2 TELEPHONE JACK
The modular telephone jack provides temporary con-
nection to a standard pulse or rotary mode telephone
unit, which is used by the owner to program Quick Talk
voice messages and other settings.
WARNING: DO NOT connect the Quick Talk to a line
from the telephone company; doing so
will damage the unit, and void the
manufacturer's warranty.
3 BATTERY HOLDER
The battery holder accommodates the six (6) standard
"AA" alkaline cells required to power the Quick Talk.
NOTE: ALWAYS INSTALL A FRESH SET of alkaline
batteries before programming the Quick Talk.
4 SWITCH #1 TERMINALS
These terminals are for connection to a switch the
user supplies. Quick Talk transmits voice messages
determined by the state of this switch.
5 SWITCH #2 TERMINALS
These terminals are for connection to an optional
user-supplied switch. This manual describes how to
use Switch #2 as an On/Off switch to enable or disable
the Quick Talk transmitter, as well as programming
normal debounced and contact closure settings, and
latching mode.
