The GAI-Tronics emergency phone product line provides the flexibility to address a diverse range of
applications. A wide variety of functions can be achieved by altering the configuration data stored in the
phone’s non-volatile memory. These configuration options include:
•Pre-programmed auto-dial telephone numbers
•Call termination method (automatic or manual)
•Maximum call duration
•Answering options
Each of the above emergency phones require a “Class 2” 12 V dc regulated power supply (included) and
can be connected to any of the following:
•Central Office (CO) line to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
•24 V dc or 48 V dc analog station port of Private Branch Exchange (PBX), Private Automatic Branch
Exchange (PABX) or KSU.
Connection may not be made to pay phone extensions or shared service (party) lines.
NOTE:Each telephone requires a dedicated power supply. Multiple telephones cannot be
connected to a single power supply. The power supply must provide galvanic isolation between its
input and its 12 V dc output. For dc-to-dc applications, galvanic isolation is required. Galvanic
isolation (separation) is achieved by using a transformer or opto-coupler.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Functionality
Call Received Indicator Lamp
The CALL RECEIVED WHEN LIT lamp indicates to hearing-impaired individuals that the emergency call
has been answered. When the individual presses the emergency push button, the person receiving the call
(typically the security operator) presses the * DTMF button. The telephone detects the * DTMF signal
and illuminates the CALL RECEIVED WHEN LIT lamp.
Location Identification Code Dialing
The Location Identification Code feature enables security personnel to quickly and easily locate an
individual in trouble. When the individual presses the EMERGENCY push button, the person receiving the
call (typically the security operator) presses the * DTMF button. The telephone detects the * DTMF
signal and transmits a three-digit location identification code to identify which emergency telephone is
originating the call. This location code can be displayed on a DTMF decoder device (not supplied).
Disconnecting Calls
There are both manual and automatic methods included in the emergency telephones to disconnect calls.
The disconnect methods include the following:
•To remotely disconnect an emergency call, operator presses the #for a least 2 seconds or # # twice
within 2 seconds.
•To manually disconnect an emergency call, press the EMERGENCY button after 15 seconds (can be
disabled).
•To manually disconnect a non-emergency call, press the CALL button a second time.
•To automatically disconnect;
-All calls, loop current disconnect.
-All calls, maximum call duration timeout (configurable from 1 minute to 99 minutes) or disable for
no timeout.
-Emergency and incoming calls, call progress tones (dial tone, busy signal, fast busy (or reorder)
tone)
For factory defaults and available options, please refer to the Programming section of this manual
beginning on page 15.

Installation
ATTENTION Installation should be performed by qualified personnel and only in
accordance with the National Electrical Code or applicable local codes.
Safety Guidelines
When installing any GAI-Tronics telephone equipment, please adhere to the following guidelines to
ensure the safety of all personnel:
•Do not install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
•All telephone models must be properly connected to earth ground to protect personnel and to
minimize the effects of any electrostatic discharge (e.g., lightning). The Model 293-101AL, 294-
101AL, 297-101, and 298-101 Telephones each include a ground terminal. Please note proper
grounding does not eliminate the need for lightning protection for the telephone or the telephone
system.
•An additional UL Listed lightning arrestor may be installed on any phone or phone cable that is
exposed to a higher risk of lightning strikes. The lightning arrestor must be installed as close to the
phone as possible to maximize the protection. It must not be installed within the enclosure supplied
with the phone. Please consult our Service Center at 800-492-1212 for further information.
•Do not install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
•Do not touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
•If an ac source is available within five feet of the telephone, the included power supply can be used
The ac source and power supply must be mounted in a dry location, such as a GAI-Tronics stanchion.
•If the ac source is located more than five feet from the telephone either extend the wiring of the
included power supply, or provide a UL LISTED “Class 2” 12 volt dc regulated power supply.
Additionally, if the ac source is not located within the same structure or building, lightning/surge
protection is required.
General Installation Guidelines
GAI-Tronics emergency phones are designed to operate on telephone lines as detailed in the Product
Overview section of this manual. The telephones are designed to operate with one telephone per line. If
telephones are operated in parallel or “party line configuration” you may experience sporadic phone
operation, difficulties with programming, or premature disconnection of calls. Additionally, if special
features, e.g. voice mail, call waiting, etc, are not disabled, the phone may not function.
Tamper-Resistant 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 tamper-resistant screws. A GAI-Tronics Model
233-001 Tamper-Resistant Screwdriver (sold separately) is recommended for installing the tamper-
resistant screws.

Conduit Installation Details
GAI-Tronics recommends installing telephone lines 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.
•Sealed fittings should be installed at all cable entry points.
•Silicone sealant or equivalent should be applied around and inside all conduit entries.
Please refer to the examples below for the recommended conduit installation details.
