Installing the CIR-41
•
Follow all appropriate electrical codes and use only approved electrical
fittings for the installation.
•
Choose a wall location that is free of obstructions and permits space for
cable or conduit runs.
See: Figure 2 - Dimensions
•
Ensure mounting can support 4lbs (1.8kg) and any additional load to which
the telephone may be subjected.
•
Ensure that none of the electrical connection circuits are live.
•Bring Tip, Ring and Ground wiring to the location where the wiring access
opening in the back of the CIR-41 will be when the telephone is installed.
Tip: The CIR-41 may be
wired directly to the terminal
block or an RJ11 connector
may be used.
•
Remove the eight (8) cover screws from the front of the unit and carefully
remove the front cover assembly. NOTE that the handset and all electronics
are attached to the front plate. The front cover may be separated from the
back box by disconnecting the harness plug.
Tip: Use the driver bit
provided to remove the
tamper resistant screws.
•Use the enclosure as a template to locate and drill holes for #8 or M4
mounting screws or other suitable attachments.
See: Figure 3 - Mounting
•Feed Tip, Ring and Ground wiring through the wiring access opening and
secure the unit to the wall.
•Attach individual wires from the exchange (Tip/Ring/Ground) to the terminal
strip (Tip & Ring are not polarity sensitive), or plug the RJ11 connector into
the socket if this termination method was chosen. Even if an RJ11
connector is used, an approved earth ground must still be provided to the
ground connection on the terminal strip.
See: Figure 3 - Mounting
Note: An approved earth
ground must be connected
to the ground position on
the terminal strip regardless
of Tip and Ring wiring
method.
•
Ensure all connections are tight, then replace and secure the cover.
•
Connect the telephone into the system.
•
Test the unit by calling to and from another unit on the exchange.
Operating the CIR-41
•The CIR-41 Autodialer phone is designed for receiving calls and for
connecting to a single number if the PABX is programmed to perform this
function. Calling out is automatic simply by removing the handset from the
cradle.

Storage
General Storage (All situations):
•Note any stacking limits or warnings on packaging (if any).
•Do not store in temperatures over +80C.
•Store in original packaging if possible until needed.
Long Term Storage (> 6 Months):
•If area is air-conditioned and not subject to high changes in humidity, continue to store in original packaging.
•If wide humidity shifts are expected, then use these steps:
oRemove product from packaging (including plastic bags) and store on shelf in open air.
oIf area is subject to a high degree of dust, to help maintain cosmetic appearance you can cover with cloth
(Do not cover with plastic or materials that will trap moisture) or clean periodically.
oDo not store out of packaging long term where they are exposed to sunlight. Long-term exposure to UV may
cause fading on plastic parts.
Cleaning Tips for Guardian Telephones
Guardian Telephones may occasionally need to be cleaned to maintain appearance. Generally, wiping the surface with a
clean, water-dampened cloth will remove most films or residues. If the soiling is too stubborn for plain water, a mild detergent
solution may be used. Be sure to wipe away any detergent residue with a plain water dampened cloth. The Telephone may be
cleaned with any general-purpose household glass and surface type cleaner. Do not spray the telephone directly! Spray the
cleaner on a soft cloth then wipe the surface. Pre-treated cloths, like those used for eyeglasses or cameras, may be used to
clean the Telephone. Premoistened towelettes may also be used, however, avoid those containing lanolin or aloe, as they will
leave a slippery residue. The handset and surface of the telephone may be cleaned with disinfectants used for general
cleaning in a medical environment. Isopropyl alcohol may be used applied with a cloth. Avoid using alcohol on silicon-based
keypads, since doing so may significantly degrade legibility.
•Do not use furniture polishes, waxes or plasticizer-based cleaner (Armor All etc.)
•Do not use lanolin, aloe, glycerin or other skin care type products.
•Do not apply any solvent such as acetone, mineral spirits etc.
•Do not directly spray or immerse the handset.

Guardian Product Return
Guardian products have been quality tested and are in full working order when shipped from
the factory, given the rugged nature of these products shipping is not expected to damage a
unit. In the unlikely event of a malfunction Guardian follows the three step procedure below.
Step I - On-Site Correction
•The most common source of difficulties with a new product is improper installation in one of
two ways: incorrect wiring connections or connection to an incorrect power source.
•Product wiring needs to be properly connected to the on-site wiring. Correct wiring
instructions are shown in the user manual included with the product.
•Connecting a telephone to a standard power source, rather than tip & ring, will blow the
telephone’s internal, user-replaceable fuse. In the event of fuse burnout, disconnect the
telephone from the power source, replace the fuse, and reconnect following the wiring
diagrams provided with the product.
Step II - Return Materials Authorization (RMA)
•When a product has been installed following user manual instructions and the unit
fails to operate, the user must contact Guardian Telecom to obtain authorization to
return the product. This can be done by completing an RMA form online at
https://www.guardiantelecom.com/support/rma/, or by calling the service telephone
number given in this manual.
•After providing information on the product, the owner and the nature of the problem,
Guardian will issue a RMA number, to be shown on documentation returned with the
product.
•In addition to the RMA number, shipping documents should include name, address and
telephone number of the owner along with contact information for the person responsible
for the repair and/or the user who identified the malfunction.
•(Where a product is being returned for repair from outside of Canada, customs
documentation must show the product’s serial number, date of export [date of purchase],
and a notation that the equipment is: “Canadian goods returning.”)
Step III - Factory Authorized Service
•Once received, each product is carefully inspected and tested. If the product is under
warranty, repairs are completed and the product returned to the owner, generally within
five working days of receipt by the factory.
•A product that has been subjected to misuse, neglect or accident or is beyond the warranty
period will be evaluated. The service department will provide the owner’s representative
with a repair cost estimate. Once approved, repairs are completed and the product
returned, generally within five working days.
