The HELP push button on each emergency telephone can be programmed to dial three different telephone
numbers. These include a primary telephone number and two “rollover” telephone numbers. In the event
an emergency call cannot connect to the primary telephone number (i.e., a busy signal or no answer), the
emergency telephone will automatically dial the first rollover number. If the first rollover number is busy
or no answer, the telephone will automatically dial the second rollover telephone number.

Emergency Telephones are line-powered and can be connected to any of the following
networks:
Central Office (C.O.) line to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
24 V dc or 48 V dc analog station port of a Private Branch Exchange (PBX), Private Automatic
Branch Exchange (PABX), or Key Service Unit (KSU).
OTE: Connection to pay telephone extensions or shared service (party) lines should be avoided.

Each telephone requires a minimum line current of 24 mA for proper operation. For operation below
−4º F (−20° C), GAI-Tronics offers an Extreme Cold Weather Option that includes a plug-in power
supply (120 V ac required). This option will allow operation to −40° C.

®
Emergency Telephones provide the flexibility to address a diverse range of
applications. A wide variety of functions can be achieved by altering the configuration data stored in the
telephone’s non-volatile memory. These configuration options include:
Pre-programmed auto-dial telephone numbers
Call termination method (automatic or manual)
Maximum call duration
Answering options
Values for these functions are initially programmed during factory testing. These settings can be changed
remotely from a touch-tone telephone, manually (with an integral or portable keypad), or via TMA.
Emergency auto-dial telephone numbers are typically programmed in accordance with existing security
plans. Most applications will require very little additional programming, as factory defaults are typically
sufficient.

Telephone Management Application (TMA)
GAI-Tronics’ TMA software is a maintenance data collection and reporting tool that allows users to view
and report the health of the RED ALERT
®
Emergency Telephones. RED ALERT® Telephones can
function with or without the TMA software application installed. The decision to use TMA can be made
at any time and is not needed for telephone operation. Installation of TMA is not required until system
monitoring is desired.
When used with TMA, each telephone will typically be polled to determine the health of the unit and
report the following:
Stuck push buttons
Microphone failure
Speaker failure
Microprocessor health
Line interrupt (power)
Low battery life (Voice Annunciation option only)
The basic TMA package (Model 12509-037) includes a single line transceiver for polling a single
telephone at a time. With each telephone requiring approximately 90 seconds to relay its health status to
TMA, the ability to poll multiple telephones simultaneously may become very important in larger
systems. A TMA expansion kit (Model 12509-036) is available and is required for each additional
connected telephone line, with a maximum of eight lines allowed. This allows a maximum of eight
telephones to be polled simultaneously. A dedicated PC is strongly recommended for TMA operation.

3. Two-way hands-free conversation can now occur.
Receiving a Call
Each RED ALERT® Telephone can be programmed to auto-answer an incoming call. When the
emergency telephone extension is dialed, the unit will automatically answer, generate a pair of triple
“beep” tones, and two-way, hands-free conversation can occur.
Disconnecting a Call
There are several methods by which a RED ALERT® Emergency Telephone can both manually and
automatically disconnect calls. The disconnect methods include the following:
Remote disconnect of an emergency call – Called party transmits either a “ ## ” or “ *99 ” DTMF
control command.
Manual disconnect of an emergency call – Press the HELP push button approximately 15 seconds
after the initial activation.
NOTE: Pressing the HELP push button a second time within 10 seconds of initially activating the
call will have no effect on the telephone’s operation. This prevents an anxious or hurried user from
disconnecting the call prematurely (this feature can be disabled).
Manual disconnect of a non-emergency call – Press the CALL or ASSISTANCE button a second
time.
Automatic disconnect:
- All calls; loop current-drop disconnect
- All calls; maximum call duration timeout (configurable from 1 minute to 4.5 hours)
- All voice calls; call progress tones (i.e., busy signal/fast busy, or reorder, tone) and, when enabled,
dial tone.
Refer to the “Programming” section of this manual for factory defaults and available options.
Location Identification Code Dialing
The Location Identification Code feature enables the called party to quickly and easily locate the source
of the emergency call. When the calling individual presses the
(typically the security operator) presses the “*” button on their phone. The RED ALERT
detects the “*” signal and transmits a three-digit, DTMF, location identification code. This location code
can be displayed on a customer-provided DTMF decoder/display.
Please refer to the “Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Programming” section on page 37.

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:
Do not install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection: Your telephone may have an earth ground terminal
provision. If so, ensure that it is connected to ground in accordance with all local safety regulations
and the National Electrical Code (NEC). Grounding has to be ensured for safe and stable
communications. Do not use long and coiled ground wires. Trim ground wires to the required
length. Use a star configuration whenever possible. Please note proper grounding does not eliminate
the need for lightning protection for the telephone or the telephone system.
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
to the telephone as possible to maximize the protection. It must not be installed within the enclosure
supplied with the phone.
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
All of the telephones described in this manual are vandal resistant. The front panel for each telephone
covered in this manual 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.
Conduit Installation Details
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.

Voice Annunciation Option
The Voice Annunciation Option is primarily intended for use during emergency calls placed from a RED
ALERT
®
Telephone. The Voice Annunciation Option allows local or remote speech programming for
location identification purposes, instructions, or any other desired messaging requirement. The message
can be programmed locally at the telephone or remotely via dial-up.
Initial Recording
NOTE:The easiest method to initially program the Voice Annunciation recording is to perform the task at
a test bench. This allows control of the audio environment (background noise) and immediate adjustment
of the Voice Annunciation volume. The set up requires a test telephone line connection for the RED

Programming Sequences
The programming information on the following pages explains

the programming options. The telephone is shipped from the
factory with a set of default parameters that are listed in the
Programming Table on page 40. A “User Settings” section has
been provided in the Programming Table for the user to record
D = DTMF digit 0–9, *, or #
N = Numeric digit 0–9
L = 0 - Disable, 1 - Enable
the selected programming parameters.
Dialing Options
The emergency telephones can be configured for either auto-dialing or ring-down operation. Select the
dialing option that fits your application. The dialing options are explained in detail below.
Auto-dialing
The HELP push button can be programmed to call up to three unique telephone numbers. The unique
telephone numbers include a primary telephone number and two backup, or roll over, numbers. In the
event an emergency call cannot connect to the primary telephone number (i.e., a busy signal or no
answer), the emergency telephone will automatically dial the first backup, or roll over, number. Again, in
the event an emergency call cannot connect to first back-up telephone number, the emergency telephone
will automatically dial the second backup, or roll over, number (if used). This sequence will continue
until the emergency call is answered, or all numbers have been attempted (one attempt each).
When operating in SMART mode, the number of attempts to call each programmed number can be
increased, as required, (two attempts each, three attempts each, etc.)
For the rollover feature to function properly in this mode, all three auto-dial memories must be
programmed with valid telephone numbers. The three auto-dial numbers can be the same or any
combination of telephone numbers. If the telephone is programmed with only one or two auto-dial
numbers, the rollover operation will not function and the numbers will only be dialed one time.
If an emergency telephone is connected to a PBX, PABX, KSU, etc., telephone system, the emergency
telephone can be programmed to access outside CO lines. Typically access to a CO line requires adding a
digit (e.g. 9) to the auto-dial number. Also, a “pause” may be required in the auto-dial number. The
pause typically is required to wait for secondary (CO line) dial tone. See the example in the Emergency
Button Auto-dial Number 1 on page 33.
In addition to the pause, the emergency telephone has a programmable Primary Dial Tone Delay and
Secondary Dial Tone Delay. Both delays determine the amount of time the emergency telephone will
wait before dialing the stored telephone number. The Secondary Dial Tone Delay can only be used if a
“9” is dialed to gain access to a CO line.

Early Microphone Option
The microphone in each telephone activates only after the unit determines connection to the called party.
Based on factory-default programming, this will occur in one of two ways; when the telephone receives a
DTMF “*” from the called party or when the telephone detects that no more ring-backs from the called
number are occurring. This ring-back determination may take 4–6 seconds to detect, rendering the
microphone non-active for that time.
Enabling Early Microphone activates the microphone when the telephone begins
checking for ring-back
tones, typically within less than 1 second after the unit completes the dialing sequence. If enabled, Early
Microphone operation will occur for both emergency and non-emergency call operation of the Model
398-001 and 394AL-001 Telephones.
Use of the Early Microphone feature includes an operational risk that ring-back tones can be missed or
audio received by the microphone can be recognized by the telephone, causing it to operate as if the call
had been answered. This could prevent call “rollover” from occurring.
It is strongly recommended that the Early Microphone feature be used only if the telephone number being
called by the emergency telephone is attended 24 hours per day. If call rollover is desired, the appropriate
feature setting is Early Microphone Option Disable.

Although they can be locally programmed for SMART operation, there is no advantage to having a RED
ALERT
RED ALERT
®
Telephone set up for SMART mode without having TMA installed.

Telephones installed in systems that will have TMA operational at a later date are
recommended to be programmed for Standard Mode operation. Upon installation of TMA, the installed
telephones can be reprogrammed from the TMA PC.
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type, or incorrectly
replaced. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
Replace with lithium “AA” batteries to ensure proper cold weather operation and maximum battery life.
Service
If your RED ALERT® Telephone requires depot repair service, contact your GAI-Tronics Regional
Service Center for a return authorization number (RA#). Equipment should be shipped prepaid to GAITronics with a return authorization number and a purchase order number. If the equipment is under
warranty, repairs will be made without charge. Please include a written explanation of all defects to assist
our technicians in their troubleshooting efforts.

Preventive Maintenance for Flush-Mount Phones
Stainless steel does not normally require maintenance to prevent corrosion from occurring. Different
installation locations may require more regular maintenance than others, depending on the environment
and exposure to airborne contaminants. The following maintenance steps should be performed on a
regular basis or when corrosion is first noticed on your Model 397-00x, 396-00x, 398-00x, or 392-001.
Cleaning
For general cleaning, wipe the surface with a cleanser or a cleanser and water mixture. Any cleanser
that is safe for glass is usually safe for stainless steel. Wipe dry.
If corrosion or rusting is noticed, remove with a non-abrasive commercial cleanser and water. Rub
stained areas in the same direction as the existing grain. Stubborn stains may be removed with a
magnesium oxide, ammonia, and water paste. Wipe clean with water rinse and dry.
Prevention
Automotive wax provides the best results in preventing corrosion on stainless steel. Simply apply wax,
let dry to a haze, and buff to a shine with a clean dry cloth. This application should protect the telephone
surface for many months as it will allow natural reformation of the chromium oxide layer.
Do NOT use steel wool, sandpaper, mineral acids, bleaches, or chlorine cleansers on the stainless
surface.
