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 must be ensured for safe and stable
communication. 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.
Station Placement
Volume settings and station placement must be taken into consideration to prevent feedback problems in
the system. Reduce unpleasant feedback problems by:
•
pointing the telephone away from other telephones located nearby
•
reducing speaker volume levels
Security Hardware
The telephones described in this manual are vandal resistant. The front panel of each telephone 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.
