Station Placement
To prevent audio feedback problems in the system, volume settings and station placement must be taken
into consideration. Unpleasant feedback problems can be reduced by:
•
pointing the telephone away from other telephones located nearby
•
reducing speaker volume levels
Security Hardware
The telephones described in this manual are vandal resistant. The front panel of each telephone is
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 required for installing the telephone.
