General Information
GAI-Tronics industrial telephones are ideally suited for conditions that are too harsh for a standard
telephone. The telephones operate the same as a standard telephone—simply lift the handset and dial the
desired telephone number. The telephones are fully line-powered and do not require internal batteries.
This manual applies to the following telephones:
Model 226-001 Public Access Telephone
Model 246-001 Indoor Industrial Telephone
Model 256-001 Weatherproof Industrial Telephone
Model 276-001 Flush-Mount Telephone
Operation
1. Lift the handset to place a call.
2. The handset receiver volume control, which is located on the handset, can be adjusted to the desired
level by pressing the handset pressbar.
OTE: Pressing the handset pressbar increases the volume in 3-dB increments. The volume starts at
N
0 dB and increases to a maximum volume of 18 dB. Pressing the pressbar a seventh time will return
the volume to 0 dB.
3. Dial the desired number.
4. After completion of the call, place the handset on-hook.

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 226-001 and 276-001 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 246-001 and
256-001 Telephones’ front panels are attached with standard Phillips head screws.
Conduit Installation Details (Applicable to Models 246-001 and 256-001)
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.

assembly and set aside. Disconnect the 7-foot half-modular telephone cord from the PCBA terminal
strip (if connected). See Figure 7.

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 7/8inch 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. Refer to Figure
8.
