Quick Installation Guide

The GVC3212 is not pre-configured to support or carry emergency calls to any type of hospital, law enforcement agency, medical care unit (“Emergency Service(s)”) or any other kind of Emergency Service. You must make additional arrangements to access Emergency Services. It is your responsibility to purchase SIP-compliant Internet telephone service, properly configure the GVC3212 to use that service, and periodically test your configuration to confirm that it works as you expect. If you do not do so, it is your responsibility to purchase traditional wireless or landline telephone services to access Emergency Services.

GRANDSTREAM DOES NOT PROVIDE CONNECTIONS TO EMERGENCY SERVICES VIA THE GVC3212. NEITHER GRANDSTREAM NOR ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AFFILIATES MAY BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGE, OR LOSS. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY AND ALL SUCH CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR INABILITY TO USE THE GVC3212 TO CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES, AND YOUR FAILURE TO MAKE ADDITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS TO ACCESS EMERGENCY SERVICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING PARAGRAPH.

PRECAUTIONS: WARNING:
Use only the power adapter included in the GVC3212 package. Using an alternative non-qualified power adapter may possibly damage the unit.
WARNING: Please DO NOT power cycle the GVC3212 during system boot up or firmware upgrade. You may corrupt firmware images and cause the unit to malfunction.

OVERVIEW:
The GVC3212 is a compact and affordable HD video conferencing endpoint for TV and desktop mounting. This device pairs with Grandstream’s IPVideoTalk Meeting plans an online conferencing platform that allows you to host meetings that can be joined on nearly any device including mobile, PCs, and laptops. The GVC3212 comes equipped with integrated dual microphones that offer high- quality voice pickup at up to the 3-meter distance, advanced echo cancellation, and sophisticated background noise suppression.
