CAUTION
Do not install this equipment in areas other than those indicated on the
approval listing in the “Specifications” section of this manual. Such installation may cause a safety
hazard and consequent injury or property damage.
Install equipment without modification and according to all applicable local and national electrical codes.
Consult the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), Canadian Standards Association (CSA 22.1), and local
codes for specific requirements regarding your installation. Class 2 circuit wiring must be performed in
accordance with NEC 725.55.
N OTE : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Depending upon the
wiring and features used on this device, additional precautions may be necessary not to cause harmful
interference. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Safety Guidelines
When installing any GAI-Tronics equipment, please adhere to the following guidelines to ensure the
safety of all personnel:
 Do not install wiring during a lightning storm.
 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection: Your VoIP telephone may have an earth ground terminal
provision. If so, ensure that it is connected to ground in accordance with all local safety regulations
and the National Electrical Code (NEC). Grounding has to be ensured for safe and stable
communications. Do not use long and coiled ground wires. Trim ground wires to the required
length. Use a star configuration whenever possible. Please note proper grounding does not eliminate
the need for lightning protection for the telephone or the telephone system. A Cat5 data line lightning
surge protector is recommended for telephones subject to any electrostatic discharge (e.g. lightning).
 Do not install jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
Security Hardware
Models 226-700 and 276-700 are vandal-resistant, with the front panel for each telephone attached to its
enclosure with security screws. A GAI-Tronics Model 233-001 Security Screwdriver or Torx T-25
security head tip (sold separately) is recommended for installing the security screws. Models 246-700
and 256-700 Telephones’ front panels are attached with standard Phillips head screws.
Conduit Installation Details (applicable to Models 246-700 & 256-700)
GAI-Tronics recommends installing cabling in conduit to protect against accidental damage and
vandalism. To prevent moisture from entering the enclosure, we strongly recommend the following:
 Conduit should enter the enclosure from the bottom.
 If entered from the top, the conduit must be internally sealed to prevent moisture ingress.
 Sealed fittings should be installed at all cable entry points.
 Silicone sealant or equivalent must be applied around and inside all conduit entries.
