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

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.
