complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 20cm between the radiator& your body. This transmitter and its
antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a

4Mounting the Device
You can mount the device using one of the following methods:
◼Desktop mounting
◼19-inch Rack mounting
◼Wall mounting
4.1 19-Inch Rack Mounting
You can mount the device in a standard 19-inch rack, using AudioCodes 1U 19-inch rack mount shelf
(not supplied).
Figure 3: Minimum Vertical Space for 19-inch Rack Mounting
The AudioCodes 1U 19-inch rack mount shelf is not supplied with your product and can be
ordered separately from an AudioCodes sales distributor.
Warning:
◼Elevated Operating Ambient: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tmax) of 40°C (104°F).
◼
Reduced Air Flow: Installation should be such that the amount of air flow required for
safe operation on the equipment is not compromised. Do not stack equipment one on
top of the other and keep the ventilation openings free from cables or any objects to
allow free air circulation. The device must be mounted correctly on the rack mount
shelf to avoid air blockage to the three vents located on the bottom of the device.
Mounting the device on a shelf other than AudioCodes' rack mount shelf may cause
the device to overheat, resulting in permanent damage to it.
◼Only one device can be mounted per rack mount shelf.
◼The minimum vertical rack space for mounting the device in a 19-inch rack must be
2Us (3.5 in. or 88.9 mm). See figure below.

Mounting the Device
Mediant 500Li
- 10 -
To mount the device in a 19-inch rack:
1. Position the rack mount shelf (ordered separately from AudioCodes) in the 19-inch rack,
aligning the holes of the shelf's side brackets with the holes of the rack's front posts, as shown
in the figure below.
Figure 4: Positioning Shelf in Rack
2. Attach the shelf to the rack posts using four standard 19-inch rack bolts (not supplied).
3. Place the device on the shelf so that the device's front panel faces the front of the rack and
the device's four anti-slide rubber legs (located on the bottom of the device) fit into the four
square openings on the shelf, as shown in the figure below (viewed from underneath):
Make sure that you attach the shelf's side brackets (left and right) at the same height level
in the rack so that the shelf is in a horizontal position.

4. Make sure the device is firmly mounted on the shelf so it does not horizontally slide in any
direction:

4.2 Wall Mounting
You can mount the device on a wall using the keyholes on the bottom of the device.
To mount the device on a wall:
1. Drill three holes in the wall where you want to mount the device, using the distances between
the holes as shown in the figure below:
• Horizontal distance between the top two parallel holes: 89 mm (5.51 in.)
• Vertical distance between the top two parallel holes and bottom hole: 204 mm (8.03 in.)
• Horizontal distance between a top hole and the bottom hole: 44.5 (1.75 in.)
Figure 7: Dimensions for Drilled Holes
◼
When choosing the area on the wall to mount the device, make sure that sufficient
space is available for attaching cables on the rear panel.
◼Make sure that you drill the holes in the same orientation as shown in the above
figure (i.e., two parallel holes on the top and the single hole on the bottom).
◼
Use the mounting template on the following page (print out) to mark the locations for
the mounting holes on the wall.
