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.
 Do not install jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
Station Placement
To prevent audio feedback problems in the system, volume settings, and station placement must be taken
into consideration. Unpleasant feedback problems can be reduced by:
 Pointing the telephone away from other telephones located nearby
 Reducing speaker volume levels
Security Hardware
All of the telephones described in this manual are vandal resistant. The front panel for each telephone
covered in this manual is 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 required for installing the
telephone.
