Installation
Insert the SIM card by gently pushing it into the SIM card holder.
Please note the bevelled corner of the SIM card.
USING THE SIM CARD
Before you can start using a new SIM card, the card has to be prepared.
The SafeLine GL4 can only recognize the PIN code if the code is set to “0000”, “1234”, “1111” or if it is
deactivated. If the PIN code is set to “0000” or if it is deactivated the SIM card can be moved from the
SafeLine GL4 to any of SafeLine GSM products. If the code is set to “1234” the SIM card can be moved to
another SafeLine GL1/GL2/GL4/GL5 unit if the software version is 3.10 or higher.
If the PIN code is set to “1111” the SIM card cannot be moved to any other telephone (SafeLine or other-
wise) without the PUK code.
PIN code (set to “0000”, “1234” or deactivate).
1. Insert the SIM card in an ordinary cellular phone. In the “Security settings” menu, change the PIN
code to “0000”. If this is not possible , set the PIN code to “1234” or set the ”PIN code request”
option to “OFF”.
2. Verify the PIN code by switching your phone off and on again.
3. Make a call from your phone to verify that the SIM card is active, before you move it to the
SafeLine GL4.
4. Also make a call to SafeLine GL4 after insertion to check that it is possible to get a proper
connection.
You can protect the SIM card against unauthorized use.
1. Insert the SIM card in a cellular phone.
2. In the “Security settings” menu, change the PIN code to “1111”. When the SIM card is inserted in
the SafeLine GL4, the code will be changed to a random number, thus making it impossible to use
the card in another cellular phone unless it is unblocked by means of the PUK code.
NOTE!
If you enter the wrong PIN code 3 times, the SIM card will be blocked (requires
PUK code to de-block). The GL4 cannot be started and the LED (4) will be red.
If PIN code id “1234”, make sure the SafeLine GL4 software is V3.10 or higher.
NOTE!
Disconnect both main and battery plugs, before
inserting or extracting the SIM card.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The red LED does not start flashing when unit is connected to supply voltage.
• Make sure that the supply voltage is: 24 - 30 VAC/DC
All 4 LED’s starts flashing rapidly.
• Make sure that the SIM card is correctly positioned.
• Check that the SIM cards PIN-code is deactivated or that the PIN-code is set to ”0000” or ”1111”
(see the section SIM card).
• Make sure that the SIM card is activated and operational by testing the card in an cellular phone.
The call is interrupted directly after being connected.
• If the unit is powered from a battery make sure the battery is properly charged.
• If the unit is powered from a transformer make sure that it can deliver minimum 0.25A continuous
current.
Call can not be connected. Error message from telephone operator.
• To make a call, area code must always be used.
INTERFERENCE / POOR SOUND QUALITY
• Bear in mind that the wiring between GL4 and the lift telephone/ phone is basically a “standard”
PSTN-line and can therefore not be placed in the lifts travelling cable together with high voltage.
*** (Risk of interference)***
• Always place the antenna in an upward position and at least 1,5m distance from GL4.
• Place the antenna where the highest field intensity is obtained according to the table on the unit.
• When a call is connected try placing the antenna in different places to find where the best
receiving/sending position is.
