Chapter 2 – Installation and Activation

Introduction

The MultiVOIP GSM is equally usable as tabletop unit or mounted in a location with good reception. The initial setup is best performed before any mounting is done.

Safety Warnings

Lithium Battery Caution

A lithium battery on the voice/fax channel board provides backup power for the timekeeping capability. The battery has an estimated life expectancy of ten years. When the battery starts to weaken, the date and time may be incorrect. If the battery fails, the board must be sent back to Multi-Tech Systems for replacement.

Warning: There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.

General Safety

The MultiVOIP GSM is designed for, and intended to be used in fixed applications. “Fixed” means that the device is physically secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to another location.

Caution: A separation distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) is normally maintained between the transmitter’s antenna and the body of the user or nearby persons. The MVPGSM is not designed for or intended to be used in portable applications within 20 cm. (8 inches) of the body of the user.

RF Interference Issues

It is important to follow any special regulations regarding the use of radio equipment due in particular to the possibility of radio frequency (RF) interference. Please follow the safety advice given below carefully.

•Switch OFF your MVPGSM in hospitals and any other place where medical equipment may be in use.

•Respect restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress.

•There may be a hazard associated with the operation of your MVPGSM close to inadequately protected personal medical devices such as hearing aids and pacemakers. Consult the manufacturers of the medical device to determine if it is adequately protected.

Operation of your MVPGSM close to other electronic equipment may also cause interference if the equipment is inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.

Unpacking Your MultiVOIP GSM

When unpacking your MultiVOIP GSM, check to see that all of the items are included in the box. If any box contents are missing, contact Multi-Tech Tech Support at 1-800-972-2439.
