FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
INTERFERENCE STATEMENT:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15
of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.

To protect your equipment from power surges and momentary power interruptions we strongly
suggest you utilize a battery-backed power supply (UPS) with this equipment.
ELAN recommends Panamax UPS and power conditioning products for use with your new gSC2.
Unpack the gSC2. Verify that you have all packaging contents.

Shelf Mounting:
The gSC2 has rubber feet to protect finished surfaces.
Set the gSC2 in a location that will allow you to properly
manage connected wiring so that tension is not placed on the
connections. The gSC2 is relatively small and wire tension
will cause the unit to move and may cause wires to become
disconnected.

Wall Mounting:
The Wall Mounting Brackets included with the gSC2 attach to the
chassis using the included screws.
Do not use longer screws to attach the brackets as this may
permanently damage the gSC2. Utilizing the Wall Mount Brackets the gSC2 may be mounted in any orientation that suits your
installation.
Using the unit with the attached brackets as a template mark
the keyhole screw locations and the security screw locations.
Pre-drill all holes and insert only the keyholes screws. Hang the
gSC2 on the keyholes screws and then insert the security screws.
Structured Wiring Cabinet Mounting: Mounting the gSC2 in
a structured wiring cabinet is essentially the same as Wall
Mounting it. The difference is that you must supply mounting
screws that are short enough to not penetrate through the wall
behind the enclosure.
