Loading a dejada is a free action requiring the use of both hands. Ardents, artificers, assassins, avengers, bards, battleminds, clerics, druids, fighters, invokers, paladins, psions, rangers, runepriests, seekers, sorcerers, swordmages, vampires, wardens, warlocks, and warlords are proficient with all simple ranged weapons, including the dejada. Other classes do not have proficiency with the dejada as a class trait, but any character can become proficient by taking a Weapon Proficiency feat.
