Confidentiality Notice
This manual is provided solely as an installation, operation, and maintenance guide and contains sensitive
business and technical information that is confidential and proprietary to GAI-Tronics. GAI-Tronics
retains all intellectual property and other rights in or to the information contained herein, and such
information may only be used in connection with the operation of your GAI-Tronics product or system.
This manual may not be disclosed in any form, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, to any third
party.
General Information
GAI-Tronics Rugged Auto-Dial Telephones are ideally suited for conditions that are too harsh for a
standard telephone. When the handset is removed from the cradle, a preprogrammed number of up to 31
digits is automatically dialed. The telephones are fully line-powered and do not require internal batteries.
This manual applies to the following telephones:
Model 227-001 Public Access Auto-dial Telephone
Model 247-001 Indoor Industrial Auto-dial Telephone
Model 257-001 Weatherproof Industrial Auto-dial Telephone
Model 277-001 Flush-Mount Auto-dial Telephone
Models 277-001BH and 277-001BHAC Flush-Mount Behavioral Health Telephone
Operation
To auto-dial the stored telephone number, follow these instructions:
1. Lift the handset. After approximately 1 second, the preprogrammed number is dialed automatically.
2. The handset receiver volume is adjustable using the handset pressbar or the volume control pushbutton
located on the front of the telephone. The volume increases with each button press in six steps.
Pressing the volume control a seventh time will reset the volume to the original level. When the
handset is returned to its cradle, the receiver volume is returned to the initial volume setting. This
behavior can be changed by the volume control jumper setting. See the Volume Control Jumper
Setting section for information on configuring the jumper.
3. To redial, place the handset on hook and wait approximately 3 seconds. Lift the handset and the
preprogrammed number is redialed.

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:
NEVER install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Install a UL Listed lightning arrestor on any telephone installed where the telephone or telephone
cable is at risk of being exposed to lightning strikes. The lightning arrestor must be installed as close
as possible to maximize the protection. It must not be installed within the enclosure supplied with the
telephone. 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.
Security Hardware
Models 227-001, 277-001, 277-001BH, and 277-001BHAC are vandal resistant, with the front panel for
each telephone 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 recommended for installing the security
screws. Model 247-001 and 257-001 Telephones’ front panels are attached with standard Phillips head
screws.
Conduit Installation Details (Applicable to Models 247-001 and 257-
001)
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 whenever possible.
Sealed fittings should be installed at all cable entry points.
Silicone sealant or equivalent should be applied around and inside all conduit entries to prevent
moisture ingress.

Model 227-001
The mounting and wiring instructions for the Model 227-001 Public Auto-Dial Telephone are as follows:
1. Remove the eight security screws
from the front panel. Remove the
front panel and set aside.
NOTE: There is a 7-foot half-
modular telephone cord attached to
the PCBA on the rear.
2. There are eight mounting holes in the
back of the enclosure in two 4-hole
patterns. Determine which hole
pattern will be used for mounting.
See Figure 5.
 For best results, use the
7.875  4.00-inch hole pattern
for mounting to a wall (outside
pattern).
 Use the 5.25  4.00 hole
pattern when using the Model
232-001 Pole Mounting Kit
(inside pattern).
3. Insert four hole plugs (provided) in the unused holes.
4. Position the enclosure on the mounting surface and
secure it with four fasteners.
 The holes in the telephone enclosure accept 3/8-
inch screws or bolts.
 The Model 232-001 Pole Mounting Kit includes
four 3/8-16  1-inch shoulder bolts with Teflon
seal washers.
NOTE Use only the round head, hexagon
head, or pan head screws that are provided.
Do not use screws designed to be countersunk for
mounting the enclosure.
5. Install a conduit fitting in one of the ½-inch NPT
conduit entrances provided at both the top and bottom
of the unit, and insert the conduit into the fitting. (The
bottom location is preferred. See Figure 4.) Plug the
unused access hole using the 3/8-inch Allen drive plug
provided.
NOTE: Use silicone sealant or equivalent around
and inside all conduit entries.
6. If mounted outdoors, install a telephone line
suppressor (customer-supplied) on the telephone line.

Figure 7. PCBA Connection
Model 247-001
1. Remove the four front panel screws using a standard Phillips screwdriver, and remove the front panel
assembly and set aside. Disconnect the 7-foot half-modular telephone cord from the PCBA terminal
strip (if connected). See Figure 7.
2. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 if utilizing conduit for cable installation. If using the gland
bushing provided with the unit, drill a 0.688-diameter hole at either drill spot on the bottom of the rear
enclosure.
3. Push the free end of the telephone cord through the gland bushing using needle-nose pliers. Allow 8–
10 inches of telephone cord to extend past the bushing. Tighten the bushing around the cord. Feed the
free end of the telephone cord through the hole in the enclosure.
4. Secure the bushing in the hole with
the supplied locknut using a 7/8-
inch wrench and channel locks to
tighten.
5. There are four mounting holes in
the rear enclosure. Mount the
enclosure to the wall using either
four 1/4-20 machine screws with
nuts and washers, or #14 wood
screws of appropriate length for the
mounting surface (see Figure 8).
6. Connect the telephone cord to the
PCBA terminal strip (see Figure 7).
7. Replace the front panel assembly, and secure with the four front
panel screws.
8. Connect the telephone cord’s modular connector to the incoming subscriber line using the appropriate
mating connector.
9. Check for proper telephone operation by calling to and from another telephone.
