1 Introduction
About TransTalk® 9000 Products
Congratulations on the purchase of your new TransTalk 9000 Digital Wireless System MDW 9031/9031DCP
Pocket Phone. MDW stands for “Multi-Line Digital Wireless.” The MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phones are
the latest additions to the TransTalk 9000 family of wireless products, which also includes the MDW 9000
Telephone, the MDW 9010 Telephone, the MDW 9030P Pocket Phone, and the MDW9031 Dual Zone Pocket
Phone. All of these phones are designed to Lucent Technologies’ high standards for convenience, reliability, and
innovation.
TransTalk 9000 products are designed to work with your communications system (PARTNER®, PARTNER II,
PARTNER Plus, PARTNER Advanced Communications System, MERLIN®, MERLIN II, MERLIN Plus,
MERLIN LEGEND®, System 25, System 75, System 85, or DEFINITY®) to provide wireless flexibility.
What Is a Wireless Phone?
A wireless phone has no handset cord and no telephone line cord, so it is portable. This portability lets you move
around freely, without giving up the features of a wired phone. With a wireless phone, you can make and receive
calls even when you are away from your desk, thus remaining accessible and responsive to your customers and
coworkers as you move around your work area. Time-sensitive work issues will not have to be postponed until
you are back at your desk. You can also reduce the number of (sometimes costly) phone calls you must return.
TransTalk 9000 System
Your wireless phone’s handset is linked with your communications system through a matching radio module,
not through the battery charger where the handset sits for charging. Each handset can be used only with the
radio module packaged with the handset. The handset and the radio module each have the same unique security
code and serial number (on the bottom of the radio module and inside the battery compartment of the handset) to
identify the matching pair. There is built-in and secure automatic registration between the handset and radio
module, so that your system is ready to use after powering up.
Your TransTalk System may have from 1 to 30 wireless phones. In order to use multiple wireless phones within
the same zone (area of coverage), you also need a carrier (also known as a backplane). A carrier holds up to six
radio modules and synchronizes radio signals for proper operation of multiple phones, ensuring consistent voice
quality and range. If you have a key system (for example, PARTNER or MERLIN), you can link up to three
carriers supporting up to 18 wireless phones in a single zone; if you have a PBX system (for example,
DEFINITY), you can link up to five carriers, supporting up to 30 wireless phones in a single zone. Linked
carriers are automatically synchronized with each other.
The TransTalk 9000 System enables you to use several different phone and carrier models in the same zone;
however, there are some compatibility issues to consider. You need to know the following:
•
•
The name of the MDW phone (9000, 9010, 9030P, or 9031, 9031DCP, 9031 Dual
Zone), located in the battery compartment of the handset. (For an MDW 9000
phone, you also need to know the Apparatus Code, also located in the battery
compartment of the handset.)
The model number of your carrier, located on the left side of the carrier.

About the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone
Introduction 1
About the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone
The MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone is not only wireless, but it is also lightweight and pocket-sized. A
removable carrying clip and a lanyard are provided with the handset. You can use either the clip or the lanyard
for hands-free portability. The MDW 9031/9031DCP also has a headset connector to accommodate an optional
headset.
You can be notified of an incoming call by either an alerter (which rings) or a vibrator, or both. There is a five-
line, user-activated backlit display that shows information you would see on a wired system phone’s display
(with the exception of the time), icons representing various handset functions (such as the alerter and the
vibrator), and the status of up to 12 telephone lines. The MDW 9031/9031DCP provides Redial, Hold, Mute,
Transfer, and Conference buttons, and allows you to program additional features on unused line buttons.
Privacy Information
The MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone is designed to protect the privacy and security of your voice
conversation. The phone uses continuously changing radio frequencies and digital encoding techniques to make
it impossible for eavesdropping to occur through the use of commercially available analog radio scanners.
Where Can You Use Your Pocket Phone?
The MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone can be used in most typical office buildings, warehouses, malls, and
even outdoor areas such as loading docks. The location of the radio module greatly affects the performance of the
MDW 9031/9031DCP. Read the “Positioning a Radio Module or Carrier(s)” section in Chapter 2 to determine
the best place to install the radio module. Repeat the tests several times with the radio module positioned in a
different location each time. To perform the tests, all you need is an electrical outlet for the radio module and a
charged battery pack in the handset.

1 Introduction
About the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone
Spare Battery and Headset
One nickel metal hydride battery pack, which provides up to 3 hours of talk time, comes with your MDW
9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone. For extended phone usage, you should purchase an additional battery pack. If you
require full business-day use, you can purchase an extended battery pack. Although thicker and heavier than the
standard battery pack, the extended battery pack provides 8-9 hours of talk time when fully charged. You can
store the extra battery pack in the spare battery compartment of the battery charger. Then, when the battery pack
in the handset is low, you can switch battery packs.
To help you answer calls, an optional Supra® 9031 headset or a Radium (over-the-ear) headset can be attached to
a quick-disconnect adapter cord, which you can insert into the connector on the bottom of the handset to allow
hands-free conversation. For instructions for connecting the headset, see “Using a Headset” in Chapter 3.

Important Safety Instructions
This book contains instructions related to safety labels on the product:
!
WARNING:
WARNING indicates the presence of a hazard that can cause severe or
fatal personal injury if the hazard is not avoided.
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION indicates the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage if not avoided.
This phone is designed to provide trouble-free performance without any special
maintenance procedures. To reduce the risk of accidental damage:
•
•
•
•
Keep the phone in an area free of dust, smoke, and moisture; do not block the air
vents by placing objects on top of the radio module.
Do not place the phone or battery charger near a heating duct, radiator, or other
heat source, and do not drop or expose it to excessive shock or vibration.
Unplug the battery charger, radio module, or carrier if its power cord is damaged,
if liquid is spilled into it, or if its housing becomes cracked or otherwise damaged.
To clean your phone, wipe the outside housing with a soft, dust-free cloth. If
absolutely necessary, you may use a cloth slightly dampened with a mild soap-
and-water solution. Dry quickly with a soft cloth.
!
CAUTION:
Your phone contains sensitive electronic parts. Never submerge it in any kind
of liquid, and never use liquid or aerosol cleaners, detergents, alcohols,
solvents, abrasive cleaners, or an excessive amount of water when cleaning
the housing and faceplate. To do so could result in irreparable damage.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Operation
Your wireless telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the phone is turned on, it receives and sends
out radio frequency (RF) energy. The phone operates in the frequency range of 902-928 MHz. Your hand-held
wireless telephone uses the digital TDD mode. The power is transmitted in bursts at a 200 Hz pulsed repetition
rate. The peak envelope transmit power is 325 mW or less.
Exposure to Radio
Frequency Energy
The design of your wireless telephone complies with the latest Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF energy. Of course, if you
would like to limit RF exposure even further, you may choose to control the duration
of your calls.

Important Safety Instructions
!
CAUTION:
Cardiac Pacemakers
The MDW 9031/9031DCP handset is a radio device and, like all radio
devices, should not be placed next to a pacemaker.
Preliminary studies performed at the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and
elsewhere have shown that when digital cellular telephones are placed very close to
implanted cardiac pacemakers, interference with the operation of the implanted
pacemaker can occur. These preliminary studies show that interference does not occur
when there is a reasonable distance between the telephone and the implanted
pacemaker and stops when the phone is turned off or moved so that it is more than 6
inches (15 cm) from the pacemaker. Digital cellular telephones operate at 0.6W.
TransTalk wireless telephones operate at a lower peak power of 325 mW or less
(100 mW, on an average).
Until more is known, the FDA suggests that people with pacemakers may want to
take some simple precautions when using or carrying digital wireless telephones.
They should ensure that there is ample distance between the digital wireless telephone
and the pacemaker—by not placing the phone next to the pacemaker implant (for
example, in a shirt or a coat pocket directly over the pacemaker implant) when the
phone is on and ready to receive a call and by holding it to the ear opposite the side of
the body where the pacemaker is implanted when using the phone. They should
consult their physicians or medical device manufacturers to determine if additional
precautions are necessary.
Hearing Aid
Compatibility
Most electronic equipment, such as equipment in hospitals, is shielded from RF
energy. RF energy from wireless telephones, however, may affect some electronic
equipment.
Although the TransTalk wireless telephone is compatible with inductively coupled
hearing aids, a physician or hearing aid manufacturer should be consulted to
determine if a hearing aid is adequately shielded from external RF energy. The
operation of inadequately shielded medical devices may be adversely affected when a
portable wireless telephone is operating in close proximity.
Basic Safety Precautions for Installation and Use
Always follow these basic safety precautions when installing or using this product to reduce risk of injury from
fire or electric shock.
!
WARNING:
Installation of this equipment for In-Range Out of Building (IROB)
conditions requires the use of protectors. See the documentation that
came with your communications system for more information.
!
CAUTION:
This equipment is for installation on Lucent Technologies PARTNER,
PARTNER Plus, PARTNER II, PARTNER Advanced Communications

MDW 9031/9031DCP Wireless Pocket Phone Installation and Use 503-801-166
Installation Overview for Radio Modules and Carriers Installing the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket
Positioning a Radio Module or Carrier(s)
Each of your handsets and its corresponding radio module operates within a single zone of coverage:
Approximately
500 to 900 feet in a
typical office building;
up to 1200 feet in
an unobstructed
environment
Single Radio Module,
POWER
RADIO
P
A
S
S
Single Carrier, or
Multiple Carriers
The range depends on your particular operating environment. For indoor use, walls between the handset and the
radio module will reduce the phone’s range. Avoid concentrations of structural metal, such as steel and
aluminum, and reinforced concrete.
Note: The MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone has a built-in testing feature
that you can use before final installation to help determine proper
placement of the radio module. To perform the tests, all you need is an
electrical outlet for the radio module and a charged battery pack in the
handset (you do not need a communications system switch/control unit).
General Positioning
Rules
Failure to observe the following rules regarding location and use will result in
poor performance of your MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone.
•
Position the radio module or carrier(s) in a central location, relative to the
handset(s) usage area, leaving at least 6 feet (1.8 m) between the radio module or
carrier(s) and the communications system switch/control unit or other wired
phones. If your switch/control unit is located in a remote location, you may have
to run a telephone line cord from your switch/control unit to the centrally
positioned radio module or carrier(s). The line cord maximum length is 1,000 feet
(305 m) of 26-gauge cable.
•
Place the radio module or carrier(s) high on the wall for optimum voice quality
and range. Allow 6 to12 inches (15.2 to 30.5 cm) of space between the top of the
antenna on the radio module and the ceiling.

Issue 3 October 1999 15
2 Installing the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone
Installation Overview for Radio Modules
•
•
Never install the radio module or carrier(s) above a drop, suspended ceiling.
Do not locate the radio module or carrier(s) within 3 feet (0.9 m) of any large
metal object, and be sure no metal objects are in the line of sight to the operating
area of the handset.
•
Do not locate the radio module or carrier(s) within 6 feet (1.8 m) of
equipment with microprocessors, such as answering machines, personal
computers, and fax machines; control units, communications system
switches, or other phones (especially speakerphones); competing radio
devices such as wireless bar-code scanners; electromagnetic equipment such
as electric motors; or electrical main power feeds, junction boxes, circuit-
breaker panels, fuse boxes, or 220-volt power lines.
•
•
Be sure the radio module or carrier(s) does not share the same power line as
equipment with microprocessors such as answering machines, personal
computers, and fax machines or electromagnetic equipment such as electric
motors.
If your communications system uses an uninterruptible power supply, such as a
backup generator, you may want to connect the radio module or carrier(s) to that
power supply.
Additional Rules for
Installing a Single
Radio Module Only
•
•
Installing a single radio module on a shelf or desk is not recommended, because it
greatly reduces the range and quality of the transmission.
Install a single radio module within 3 feet (0.9 m) of either side of, and within 6 to
8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 m) above, a properly grounded, 3-prong electrical outlet that is
not controlled by an on/off switch.
•
You can install a single radio module in a remote location using a telephone line
cord to connect the radio module to the communications system switch/control
unit. IROBs must be used for out-of-building installations.
!
CAUTION:
A radio module cannot be installed outdoors.

Installing a Single Radio Module
Installing the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone 2
Additional Rules for
Installing One or More
Carriers
•
•
•
Install carrier(s) within 15 feet (5 m) of either side of, and within 6 to 8 feet (1.8
to 2.4 m) above, a properly grounded, 3-prong electrical outlet that is not
controlled by an on/off switch.
Choose a location where handset users will not approach the carrier(s)
within a radius of 6 feet (1.8 m) for 1 or 2 carriers or 10 feet (3 m) for 3
carriers.
When installing multiple carriers:
~ Install multiple carriers 1 foot (0.3 m) optimally to 4 feet (1.2 m) apart.
~ Install multiple carriers on the same horizontal axis (do not install one carrier
higher or lower than another).
~ Install the control carrier as the leftmost carrier, using only the expansion
cables provided.
~ Slot 6 of an 117A3 control carrier must always contain a radio module to pass
the synchronization signal to the next carrier.
!
CAUTION:
Carrier(s) cannot be installed outdoors.
Installing a Single Radio Module
•
Install a single radio module high on a wall, leaving 6 to 12 inches (15.2 to
30.5 cm) between the top of the antenna and the ceiling.
•
See “Key Components” earlier in this chapter for additional picture detail.
To install a single radio module:
determine the optimal placement of the radio module. To perform the tests, all
you need is an electrical outlet for the radio module and a charged battery pack in
the handset.
2 Check to be sure the radio module’s power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet
before continuing.

3 Detach the rubber feet from the shipping card. Apply them to marked areas on the
underside of the radio module.
4 Place the wall-mounting plate against the wall. Choose a location backed by a
wooden stud (if unavailable, use toggle bolts instead of the supplied wood
screws). Lightly tap a nail into the wall to start holes. Then screw the plate flush
to the wall. Place the radio module over the plate, then slide it downward to lock
it into place.
Note: Do not remove the plastic cap covering the radio module’s card edge.

Installing the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone 2
Note: The RADIO LED also may light upon installation; however, since the
RADIO LED has no significance during installation, ignore its operation.
The RADIO LED indicates a connection between the handset and the
radio module; it lights when the handset is being used as long as the
battery pack in the handset is charged.
Understanding Carriers
When you install more than one radio module in a single zone, you must mount the radio modules in a carrier, so
that their signals will be synchronized. A carrier can hold up to six radio modules. The MDW 9031/9031DCP
Pocket Phone is designed to work with either of two carrier models: Model 117A3, and Model 117A4.
Note: If you currently own a Model 117A1, 117A1A, or 117A2 carrier, Lucent
Technologies will replace it with a Model 117A3 or Model 117A4 at no
charge.
If you want to install more than six radio modules, you will need more than one carrier. Systems configured as
key systems (for example, PARTNER or MERLIN) can accommodate up to 18 radio modules (three carriers);
PBX systems can accommodate up to 24 radio modules (four carriers).
In any multiple-carrier installation, the leftmost carrier acts as the control carrier, and the remaining carriers act
as expansion carriers, passing along the synchronization signal from the control carrier. Multiple carrier
installations require that you use Model 117A3 or Model 117A4 carriers, or both.
The Model 117A3 and Model 117A4 carriers are similar in general appearance, but the installation procedure for
the two models differs somewhat. A label on the left side of the carrier identifies the carrier model number.
If you are installing one model of carrier, go to either of the
following sections:
•
If installing a Model 117A3 carrier, go to “Understanding
Your Model 117A3 Carrier.”
•
If installing a Model 117A4 carrier, go to “Understanding
If you are installing both carrier models, read both of these
sections.
Understanding Your Model 117A3 Carrier
The installation of a Model 117A3 carrier differs in three ways from the installation of a Model 117A4 carrier:
•
•
•
You may need to adjust the power DIP switch.
You must set the Control/Expansion DIP switch.
If you use the 117A3 as the control carrier, you must have a radio module
installed in Slot 6 of that carrier in order to pass the synchronization signal on to
the next carrier.

Issue 3 October 1999 21
2 Installing the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone
Understanding Carriers
As the following illustration shows, each Model 117A3 carrier has two user-adjustable DIP switches—one in
Slot 2 that controls the power levels, and another in Slot 4 that specifies whether this particular carrier is
functioning as a control or an expansion carrier.

Carrier
Control/Expansion DIP
Switch
The Model 117A3 carrier can serve as either a control or an expansion carrier.
Whether you install one or more 117A3 carriers, you must set the Control/Expansion
DIP switch in Slot 4 of each 117A3 carrier to indicate which role that carrier is filling.

Slot 4
The leftmost carrier, no matter what model number it is, must be the control carrier,
and the remaining carriers are expansion carriers. The control carrier acts as the
“lead” carrier—its transmit and receive patterns control the expansion carriers,
ensuring that all of the linked carriers function as a single system.
It is recommended that you determine which carrier is to be the control carrier and
which, if any, will be expansion carriers; then set the Control/Expansion DIP
switch(es) before mounting the carrier(s) on the wall.

Understanding Your Model 117A4 Carrier
The Model 117A4 carrier differs from the 117A3 in that it does not require that Slot 6 contain a radio module in
order to pass the signal from the control carrier to the next carrier. It also does not have Power and
Control/Expansion DIP switches to set. The 117A4 automatically adjusts its power level and senses whether it is
being used as a control or an expansion carrier.
As the following illustration shows, the 117A4 does have an additional LED located on the right side of the
carrier, the CONTROL/EXPANSION LED; this is used to determine whether the cabling was installed
correctly.

Understanding Carriers
The following chart explains the label that identifies the jacks and LEDs on the 117A4 carrier. (The IN and OUT
jacks and the OUT OF SYNC LED also appear on the 117A3 carrier.)
Label
Explanation
IN
Designates the modular jack that accepts the
modular plug and cable from the preceding
carrier to the left. If the jack is in use, this
carrier is an “expansion” carrier.
OUT
Designates the modular jack that accepts a
modular plug and cable to connect this
carrier to the next carrier to the right. This
carrier can be either a “control” carrier (if it
is the leftmost carrier) or an “expansion”
carrier.
OUT OF SYNC
Designates the upper of two LEDs. If the
LED is not lit, the carrier is “in sync.”
If the LED glows red, the carrier is out of
synchronization. Call Customer Support as
CONTROL/EXPANSION
Designates the lower of two LEDs. The
color of the LED indicates the carrier
configuration:
Control carrier = green LED
Expansion carrier = amber LED
The light pattern indicates whether the
carrier is operational:
Glowing steadily = no problem
Blinking = no radio module(s) in the carrier

Single Carrier Installation Self-Test
To perform a single carrier self-test:
1 A single carrier must always function as a control carrier. Wait a few seconds,
then check the LED(s) on the right side of the carrier:
~ Model 117A4:
Compare the OUT OF SYNC and CONTROL/EXPANSION LEDs against
the top three lines on the “SYNC and CONTROL/EXP LED Codes” label.
~ Model 117A3:
The 117A3 has no CONTROL/EXPANSION LED. The OUT OF SYNC
LED should not be lit.
2 If the OUT OF SYNC LED is lit, power down, wait at least 15 seconds, and then
repower the carrier. If the LED is still lit, follow the suggestions in the
“Installation Problems” section of Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting.” If the LED is

3 If you are using a Model 117A4 carrier, verify that the carrier’s
CONTROL/EXPANSION LED is lit and that its color is green. This is correct
for a single-carrier installation.
4 Verify that the POWER and PASS LEDs on each radio module are lit. If a radio
module’s PASS LED does not light, power down the carrier and the module, wait
15 seconds, and repower the module and then the carrier. If the PASS LED still
does not light, refer to Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting.”

Note: The RADIO LED also may light upon installation; however, since the
RADIO LED has no significance during installation, ignore its operation.
The RADIO LED indicates a connection between the handset and the
radio module; it lights when the handset is being used as long as the
battery pack in the handset is charged.
Installing Multiple Carriers
•
•
•
•
Install each carrier high on a wall, leaving 6 to 12 inches (15.2 to 30.5 cm)
between the top of the antennas and the ceiling.
Install each carrier 1 foot (0.3 m) optimally to 4 feet (1.2 m) from its neighboring
carrier.
Never install or remove a radio module from a carrier that is plugged into a wall
outlet (hot insertion).
See “Key Components” earlier in this chapter for additional picture detail.

Installing Multiple Carriers
Multiple-carrier installation involves several stages:
•
•
•
Mounting the carriers on the wall and cabling them.
The most efficient method for installing carriers and their radio modules is to perform self-tests after each stage
of the installation. This enables you to spot any problems at an early stage and to avoid the necessity for
deinstalling the components in order to solve problems.
Mounting and Cabling Multiple Carriers
Perform the tests described in “Wireless Test Mode” in Chapter 3 to determine the optimal placement of the radio
module. To perform the tests, all you need is an electrical outlet for the radio module and a charged battery pack
in the handset.
If you are installing 117A3 carriers and need to adjust the power setting to avoid interference from other wireless
products, see “Setting the 117A3 Carrier Power Level.” Also make sure you have set the Control/Expansion DIP
switch correctly (see “Setting the 117A3 Carrier Control/Expansion DIP Switch”).
To mount and connect cable for multiple carriers:
1 Check to be sure the carrier’s power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before
continuing.
2 Choose a location backed by a wooden stud for the carrier (if unavailable, use
toggle bolts instead of the supplied wood screws).

Note: The leftmost carrier must be the control carrier; all of the others are
expansion carriers.
Place the carrier against the wall, leaving enough room to the right for additional
carrier(s) if applicable. Hold the carrier straight; use a level if needed. Using a
nail or pencil, mark screw locations through the four wall-mount holes. Start the
screws, leaving the screw heads protruding approximately ½ inch (12 mm) from
the wall.

Issue 3 October 1999 45
2 Installing the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone
Installing Multiple Carriers
Multiple Carrier Mounting and Cabling Self-Test
To perform a multiple carrier mounting and cabling self-test:
1 Wait a few seconds after powering up the carriers, then verify that the red OUT
OF SYNC LEDs on all carriers are lit. This is normal when no radio modules
have yet been installed. The CONTROL/EXPANSION LEDs (Model 117A4
only) should also be lit and blinking:
~ Model 117A4 control carrier = green blinking
~ Model 117A4 expansion carrier(s) = green blinking
A Model 117A3 carrier has no CONTROL/EXPANSION LED, but the DIP
switch in Slot 4 of the carrier must be set correctly to either Control or Expansion.
2 The following illustration shows the correct LED status for a five-carrier
installation with no radio modules installed. This sample installation has four
117A4 carriers—one acting as the control carrier and the other three acting as
expansion carriers—and one 117A3 carrier acting as an expansion carrier.

Installing Multiple Carriers
Installing the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone 2
3 At this stage of your installation, verify the LEDs displayed match the third of the
SYNC and CONTROL/EXP LED Codes label, depending on whether the carrier
is the control or an expansion carrier.
4 If the LEDs on your installation do not reflect this pattern, there is probably a
mistake in the cabling. Power down the carriers and check that you have correctly
are still having problems, see Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting.”
5 If your LEDs match the pattern in the illustration, you can feel confident that your
carriers are cabled correctly.

2 Installing the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone
Installing Multiple Carriers
Installing a Single Radio Module in Each Carrier
To install a single radio module in each carrier:
1 Power down the carriers.
2 Remove the plastic cap covering each radio module’s card edge before inserting
the radio modules into the carriers.
3 Working from left to right, insert a radio module into the first slot (Slot 1) of each
carrier; hook each radio module onto the mounting rod. Slowly swing the radio
module’s card edge into the card edge connector on the back of the carrier.
(Exception: use Slot 6 instead of Slot 1 for a Model 117A3 control carrier.)
Note: Slot 6 of a Model 117A3 control carrier must always contain a radio
module to pass the synchronization signal to the next carrier.
A Model 117A4 carrier does not require Slot 6 to be filled.

MDW 9031/9031DCP Wireless Pocket Phone Installation and Use 503-801-166
Installing Multiple Carriers
Installing the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone 2
Installation Self-Test with a Single Radio Module in Each Carrier
To perform an installation self-test with a single radio module in each carrier:
1 Wait a few seconds after powering up the carriers, then verify that the carriers’
OUT OF SYNC LEDs are not lit.
2 The following illustration shows the correct LED lights for a five-carrier
installation with one radio module installed in each carrier. This sample
installation has four 117A4 carriers—one acting as the control carrier and the
other three acting as expansion carriers—and one 117A3 carrier acting as an
expansion carrier.
When correct installation procedures are followed and one radio module is
present in each carrier, the red OUT OF SYNC LEDs will not be lit on any
carrier, no matter which model. The other LEDs will be lit as follows:
~ Model 117A4 control carrier CONTROL/EXPANSION LED = green
~ Three Model 117A4 expansion carriers CONTROL/EXPANSION LED =
amber
~ The radio modules’ PASS and POWER LEDs = green
The Model 117A3 expansion carrier has no CONTROL/EXPANSION LED, but
the DIP switch in Slot 4 of the carrier is set to Expansion.

Changing the Communications System Setting
The communications system you use determines what information the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone can
display and how the phone lines and programmable/intercom/drop buttons are identified. (For the MDW 9031,
see the appropriate “Button Mapping” topics in the “MDW 9031 Compatibility” section in Chapter 6. For the
MDW 9031DCP, see the “Button Mapping” topic in the “MDW 9031DCP Compatibility” section in Chapter 6.)
The MDW 9031 is factory-set to work with the PARTNER communications system. If you are using
PARTNER as your communications system, skip this section; if you are using a different communications
system, you will need to change the setting.
The MDW 9031DCP is factory-set to work with the DEFINITY communications system.
To change the communications system setting, use the following procedure to enter Local Mode and then Button

Battery Charger
Battery Charger
This section explains how to choose a location for the battery charger and install it. It also explains how to insert
and remove a battery pack.
Positioning the Battery Charger
The battery charger can be placed on a desk, or it can be mounted on a wall. Before you install the battery
charger, note the following considerations:
•
Locate the battery charger within 5 feet (1.6 m) of a properly grounded, 3-prong
electrical outlet that is not controlled by an on/off switch.
•
If your communications system uses an uninterruptible power supply, such as a
backup generator, you may want to connect the battery charger to that power
supply.
•
Do not locate the battery charger where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or
water.
!
WARNING:
The rechargeable battery pack may contain elements that are harmful to
the environment (for example, nickel). Do not burn or puncture the
battery. As with other batteries of this type, burning or puncturing could
release toxic material that could cause injury. Do not dispose of it in
household garbage. For information about recycling or proper disposal,
consult your local solid waste (garbage) collection or disposal
organization.
Installing the Battery Charger
•
If you are wall-mounting the battery charger, follow Steps 1 through 7.
•
To install the battery charger:
1 Check to make sure the battery charger’s power cord is unplugged from the wall
outlet before continuing. If you are desk-mounting, skip to Step 5.
the last page of this book) against the wall. Choose a location backed by a
wooden stud (if unavailable, use toggle bolts instead of the supplied wood
screws). Hold the template straight; use a level if needed.
3 Mark the locations for the two wall-mounting screws, and then remove the
template from the wall. Lightly tap a nail into the wall to start the holes.
4 Place the screw through the wall spacers so that the screw head nests in the
indentation on the spacer. Start the screws, and screw them in until the wall
spacers rest against the wall.

screw heads and wall spacers, then slide the battery charger downward into the
groove in the wall spacers to lock it into place.
7 Plug the battery charger’s power cord/AC adapter into a properly grounded,
3-prong wall outlet that is not controlled by an on/off switch.

Inserting a Battery Pack into the Spare Battery Compartment
Slide the battery pack (or an optional extended battery pack) into the spare battery compartment until it is firmly
seated with the back of the battery pack against the back of the spare battery compartment. Do not force the
battery pack down. The battery pack should slide easily into the slot.
Correct positioning of the battery pack in the charger is important to ensure proper charging. The bottom end of
either battery pack also has two small round holes that must align with two guide pins on the bottom of the spare
battery compartment. When a battery pack is positioned correctly in the spare battery compartment, the SPARE
LED on the front of the battery charger lights.
The spare battery compartment has a vertical ridge on each side that serves as a “guide rail” for positioning the
standard battery pack.

Column and Select Buttons
The MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone can display the status of up to 10 lines/intercom/programmable
buttons, but the number of lines supported by compatible communications system switches varies. However, it
has only 4 selection buttons (the Column buttons). The Select button ( " ) is used in conjunction with the
Column buttons ( ' ) to increase the available selections to 12. Each Column button ( ' ) affects one of the
three lines or programmable/intercom/drop buttons directly above it, as shown in the illustration below.
ON
Each time you press the Select button ( " ), the Selection rectangle moves to another row (cycling through the
three rows in turn). The Column buttons ( ' ) each represent one of the four lines or programmable/intercom/
drop buttons in the row enclosed by the Selection rectangle.

near the end of the range of the radio module. Depending on how far away the
handset is from the radio module, the signals function as follows:
•
•
The handset emits two beeps and flashes the RANGE indicator continuously.
Out of optimal range. You have walked into an area that is near the end of the
operating range of the radio module. You can continue your conversation or
initiate a call, but you are likely to experience a degradation in voice quality.

depending on the environment, building structure, and other factors. The range in
an average office building is 500 to 700 feet (152.5 to 213.5 m). If, however,
dense walls intervene, the distance could be less.

“Waking Up” the Phone
In addition to “On” and “Off,” the MDW 9031/9031DCP has an energy-saving “sleep” or “standby” mode. The
MDW 9031/9031DCP “goes to sleep” 15 seconds after activity ceases (that is, after an alert stops ringing or after
you hang up).
The O and " buttons “wake up” the phone. The headset and handset O buttons turn the phone on, and
the Select button ( " ) signals the phone that activity is occurring. You can activate the display to see whether
you have a message or to check whether your alerter is enabled without actually turning the phone on (if the
communications system is very busy, for instance) by pressing ".

Accessing Certain Voice Mail Systems
with a DEFINITY System
Note: This section only applies to the MDW 9031 Pocket Phone.
After dialing into some voice mail systems (for example, Octel 200/250, 300/350),
the MDW 9031 Pocket Phone may not provide touch tones in order to access the
voice mail system prompts. If you experience this problem after dialing into your
voice mail system, press the / button twice. After pressing the / button
twice, your Pocket Phone will generate touch tones and you will be able to navigate
within your voice mail system. When you end your call to your voice mail system, or
press any non-dialpad button on your Pocket Phone (that is, Conf, Trans, Hold,
Redial, Mute), your MDW 9031 will stop generating touch tones behind the voice
mail system. You will need to re-enter / whenever you dial into these voice mail
systems or after you have pressed a non-dialpad button.

Battery Charger
Using the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone 3
Battery Charger
The battery charger charges battery packs in the spare battery compartment and in the handset. If both are present
at the same time, charging in the spare battery compartment is suspended until the battery pack in the handset is
fully charged. To enable extended phone usage, you should purchase an extra battery pack and store it in the
charger, so that you always have a charged battery pack to switch to, if necessary. This section describes the
battery charger and explains how to use battery packs properly.

Battery Charger Features
The battery charger offers these features:
•
The spare battery compartment refreshes the battery pack automatically by
fully discharging it before recharging it. This process reduces or eliminates the
potential “memory” effect. Memory effect, which reduces a battery’s capacity,
occurs over time when you repeatedly recharge a battery before it is fully
discharged.
•
•
The handset cradle charges a battery pack in the handset.
The REFRESH button, when pressed, refreshes the handset battery pack in the
handset cradle by fully discharging the battery pack before recharging it.
•
•
•
The REFRESH LED and the HANDSET LED light when the REFRESH
button is pressed and stay lit until the battery pack finishes discharging.
The HANDSET LED, when lit, indicates that the handset battery pack is installed
in the handset, and the handset is in the handset cradle.
The SPARE LED, when lit, indicates that a battery pack is in the spare battery
compartment.
Note: Before you use the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone handset for the
first time, the battery pack must be charged.

Note: If either the SPARE LED or the HANDSET LED is flashing red, both battery packs must be
removed from the charger to clear the flashing-red condition. Address the possible problems
for one battery pack at a time to determine whether one is bad.
Note: The SPARE LED may turn amber instead of red when jostled in the spare battery charging
compartment. Remove the battery then place it back into the charger to clear the condition.
Extending Battery Life
The battery charger will charge a battery pack in the handset if you simply insert the handset in the battery
charger’s handset cradle; however, the Refresh process fully discharges the battery pack before recharging it,
thereby ensuring the best possible charge and the longest talk time.
“Memory effect” reduces a battery's capacity and can occur when you repeatedly recharge a battery pack before
it is fully discharged. The nickel metal hydride battery pack shipped with your MDW 9031/9031DCP is resistant
to the memory effect. Even so, it is recommended that you refresh your battery pack at least once a week.
The following table shows how long refreshing takes using a Model 40B charger, depending on how much
charge is left in the battery pack when you insert it into the charger and press the REFRESH button:

Note that your handset will consume power both during talk time (when the handset is turned on) and during
standby time (when the handset is turned off, but out of the battery charger). The following chart illustrates
typical power usage:

72 hours
Battery Pack
If the new battery does not give you full talk time as shown in the table above, refresh the battery several times
until the full talk time returns.
As a guideline, you can expect a 1-hour reduction in talk time for every 7 hours of standby time. Similarly, you
can expect a 7-hour reduction in standby time for every hour of talk time.
It is recommended that you purchase a second battery pack to use as a spare. With the spare battery pack in the
spare battery compartment of the battery charger, you are assured of always having a fresh, usable battery pack.
The following steps will ensure an uninterrupted supply of power to your MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone:
•
If you have only one battery pack, be sure to refresh it at least once a week. You
can refresh it by:
~ Placing it in the spare battery compartment of the battery charger.
~ Leaving it in the handset, placing the handset in the handset cradle of the
battery charger, and pressing the REFRESH button.
•
•
If you have two battery packs, exchange them between the handset and the spare
battery compartment at least once a week, so each battery pack is automatically
refreshed. (Alternate the battery packs even if the handset battery never flashes
the Battery icon in the handset display to indicate a low battery condition.)
The average battery life for both the standard and the extended battery packs is
approximately one year, assuming that the battery is discharged and charged once
a day. If the battery packs are discharged and charged twice a day, the life
expectancy is approximately six months.
Note: Depending on the level of memory effect that the battery pack has, it is
sometimes necessary to refresh the battery pack twice:
Insert the battery pack in the spare battery compartment of the battery
charger and leave it there until the SPARE LED is steady green. Remove
the battery pack from the charger, then reinsert it, and leave it until the
SPARE LED is steady green a second time.
Or, with the battery pack in the handset, insert the handset in the handset
cradle, press REFRESH, and leave it there until the HANDSET LED is
steady green. Remove the handset from the handset cradle, then reinsert
it, press REFRESH again, and leave it until the HANDSET LED is
steady green a second time.

Programming Features for PARTNER, MERLIN, and MERLIN LEGEND Systems
On all PARTNER, MERLIN, and MERLIN LEGEND systems, you can assign a feature to an available button (a
button that does not have a line or another feature assigned to it):
1 To enter programming mode, turn on the handset, press i, then press /
followed by 0 0.
2 Press the Select button ( " ) to move the Selection rectangle to the row of line
indicators containing the available button.
3 Press the Column button ( ' ) under the button that you want.
4 Program the feature (using the procedure described in the manual for your
PARTNER, MERLIN, or MERLIN LEGEND Communications Systems).
Note: Some features provide a visual indication in the handset display that the
feature is turned on. Be aware that if you turn off the handset while using
one of these features, you may forget that the feature is on. To verify the
status of such a feature, you can simply press the " button to “wake up”
the phone and activate the display.
5 To exit programming mode, press / followed by 0 0 or turn off the
handset.
Note: The above instructions do not apply to System 25, System 75, System 85,

The MDW 9031 does not have a speaker; therefore, it does not support voice announce/page and call groups.
MERLIN Systems
•
On MERLIN II and MERLIN LEGEND Systems, you must connect your
wireless phone to an available jack on either a 408 outside line/analog telephone
module or an 008 analog telephone module.
•
Since the MDW 9031 does not have a speaker function, the Voice Announce
feature must be disabled. It is recommended that you use MERLIN 206/410/820
Systems installed with Feature Package 2 with your wireless phone, so that you
can disable that feature.
•
Since the MDW 9031 has no speaker function, it should not be assigned to a
paging group.

To program the Ringing Option feature, use the “triangle” and “rectangle”
indicators in the display as the equivalent of red and green LEDs, respectively.
For MERLIN II System users, if you program an Auto Intercom button, idle line
preference must be set to intercom.
If any of your incoming lines has the call waiting feature, use the Recall feature
(letter “C” in the display) and press it before you pick up a waiting call. You can
dial #50 before you pick up a waiting call on the following: MERLIN
206/410/820 Systems only with Feature Package 2, and all MERLIN Plus,
MERLIN II, and MERLIN 1030/3070 Systems. Pressing the O button
disconnects the call.
•
The / button on the MDW 9031 allows you only to enter programming
mode. It does not work when using MERLIN LEGEND System features. To use
MERLIN LEGEND System feature codes with this phone, program any available
button as a System Feature button. This enables you to use the wide array of
MERLIN LEGEND System features by turning the set on, pressing the System
Feature button, and dialing the appropriate “ * ” code number.
Note: MERLIN LEGEND does not support Caller ID and some other Display
features to Analog/Hybrid terminals, such as the MDW 9031.

9031 Pocket Phone handsets have the same pooled line appearance. The
above Line Ringing options are not necessary for MERLIN LEGEND
Systems that use the TransTalk MDW 9031 Pocket Phones as PBX

Consult your System Administration manuals for this compatibility.
If your system does not support the items above, consult the System
Administration manual for the BIS-10 phone (Apparatus Code 7303S).
Accessing Certain Voice Mail Systems with a DEFINITY System
•
After dialing into some voice mail systems (for example, Octel 200/250,
300/350), the non-DCP MDW 9031 Pocket Phone may not provide touch
tones in order to access the voice mail system prompts. If you experience
this problem after dialing into your voice mail system, press the /
button twice. After pressing the / button twice, your Pocket Phone
will generate touch tones and you will be able to navigate within your
voice mail system. When you end your call to your voice mail system, or
press any non-dialpad button on your Pocket Phone (that is, Conf, Trans,
Hold, Redial, Mute), your MDW 9031 will stop generating touch tones
behind the voice mail system. You will need to re-enter / whenever
you dial into these voice mail systems or after you have pressed a non-
dialpad button.
•
To connect the communications system switch and the MDW 9031 Pocket Phone,
use the following:
~ An ANN17B Hybrid pack in conjunction with a DS-1 carrier for older
communications system switches that do not accommodate Universal modules
(System 85 -R2V1, R2V2, R2V3, and R2V4)
~ Either a TN762B Hybrid pack or a ZTN79 ATL pack for System 25
~ A TN762B Hybrid pack for newer communications system switches that
accommodate Universal modules:
System 75—R1V1, R1V2, and R1V3
DEFINITY G1 (R1V4)
DEFINITY G1 (R1V5)
DEFINITY G3 Version 1.1 and Version 2
DEFINITY G3 Version 3
~ Either a TN762B (in a universal mod carrier) or an ANN17B (in a traditional
mod carrier) Hybrid pack for DEFINITY G2 (G2.1 and G2.2), depending upon
the actual hardware configuration.
Note: For DEFINITY G2.1 and G2.2, General Terminal Administration (GTA)
can be used to set up “custom” set types so that administration can be
done using that custom set type.
•
System 25 users cannot program Recall for use with systems such as Centrex.
Only the System Administrator can assign features. Use the following guidelines:
•
~ Do not assign the following features: Auto Answer, Inspect, Directory, Next,
Local, Call, and Manual Callback Queuing.
~ If programming the Flex DSS or Repertory Dial feature, dial the number to be
recorded and push the button you are assigning to the feature. You will hear
three short beeps and a dial tone to confirm programming.
