General Information ..................................................................
The RQA-1B/4B is a 433.92 MHz low power, short range Wireless Call
Button designed to be used with a Ritron RQT Quick Talk™ Voice Alert
transmitter with an RQT-433-RCVR receiver installed. See the section
Compatible RQT Quick Talk™ Models
for a list of Ritron model radios
capable of operation with the RQA-1B/4B.
When a button on the RQA-1B/4B is pressed the associated LED lights up
and a unique code is transmitted. The Quick Talk™ receives the code and
transmits an associated pre-recorded message. The RQA-1B/4B can
activate 1 of 8 Quick Talk™ “Assistance” messages. Simply record your
desired messages into the Quick Talk™ transmitter using the RQT PC
Programmer and you are ready to go.
When you press and hold an RQA-1B/4B button for more than 5 seconds a
“Call Cleared” code is transmitted to the Quick Talk™, which in turn transmits
a pre-recorded “Call Cleared” message. The LED will blink when the button
is held for more than 5 seconds, indicating that the “Call Cleared” code will
be transmitted.
Each RQA-1B/4B can also be set to send 1 of 15 different “Location” codes
to further identify the unit. Location messages are recorded into the Quick
Talk™ the same as voice messages. The “Location” message will be played
immediately before the “Assistance” message.

The RQA-1B/4B is powered by a single CR123A, 3 VDC, non-rechargeable
battery. Depending on usage, the battery can operate the RQA-1B/4B for up
to 3 years. The RQA-1B/4B is in a low power “sleep” mode when not in use
and draws very little current.
There are two basic types of Quick Talk™ transmitters that can be used with
the RQA-1B/4B.
RQT-xxx-PS Quick Talk™ models for Standard Operation
• Are used exclusively with the RQA-1B/4B Wireless Call Button with up
to 8 different “Assistance” messages and 15 unique “Location”
messages for maximum capability.
• Send a “Call Cleared” message whenever a call is terminated by the
RQA-1B/4B.
• Have no provisions for Quick Talk™ input operation.
RQT-xxx-RCVR Quick Talk™ models for Keyfob Operation
• Can be set for operation with the RQA-1B/4B on any one of the 4
inputs, 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 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/4B or the two Ritron RQT-KEYFOB models
associated with that input.
• After the radio has been programmed and installed, Ritron model
keyfobs and the RQA-1B/4B can be used to activate the Quick Talk™
transmitter and broadcast unique, user recorded voice messages.
• Each of the 4 Quick Talk™ inputs can operate on 2 pre-assigned Ritron
keyfobs, a single RQA-1B Wireless Call Button, or on a single button on
the RQA-4B Wireless Call Button.
