You are responsible for the security of your system. There may be a risk of toll fraud associated with your telecommunications system. Your system administrator should read all installation, instruction, and system administration documents provided with this product to fully understand the features that can introduce the risk of toll fraud and the steps that can be taken to reduce that risk.

Note: This quide covers the MDC 9000, MDW 9000, and MDW 9010. The picture shows the MDC 9000. The differences are as follows:
Instead of a Status button, the MDW 9000 and MDW 9010 have a Mute button. Press the Mute button to turn the handset and headset microphone off for privacy while having a conversation.
The Headset jack on the MDW 9000 and MDW 9010 is located at the bottom of the handset, above and to the left of the Handset Extension Label.

The table below helps you identify the different types of ringing. You can also personalize ringing at your telephone or adjust ring timing for the line buttons where calls arrive. Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 22, tells you how to change the settings. Listed below are your options:
•Personalized Ring. (MDW 9000/9010 only) Allows you to give calls ringing at your phone one of eight distinctive rings.
•Abbreviated Ringing. When you are on a call and another call arrives at your phone, you can use this feature to give the second call a short ring.
•Immediate Ring. Calls ring immediately on line buttons set this way.
•Delay Ring. This setting causes calls to ring at your phone after a delay. If your calls are being covered, this allows time for another person to answer a call before you do.
•No Ring. Calls do not ring (except for returning transferred and Callback calls). Calls on lines set for No Ring do not receive coverage (p. 14).
•Send Ring. Usually, when a call comes in on an SA button, it rings there immediately and rings at corresponding SSA buttons after a delay, giving the person with the SA button time to answer before the call is picked up by someone with a corresponding SSA button. When busy on another call, the person with the SA button can use the Send Ring setting to make calls arriving at other SA buttons ring immediately on corresponding SSA buttons.

The Voice Announce setting should be turned off because the handset does not have a speaker function. The system manager can turn Voice Announce off at your extension through system programming.
To turn Voice Announce off with your handset:
1.Turn the phone on and press the imprinted Feat button; then dial 00.
2.Press any ICOM or SA button.
3.Dial 10.
4.Press the imprinted Feat button; then dial 00 to exit program mode. You cannot be assigned to a paging group.
Ringing options should be used with caution.
To use many system features, you can either program a Feature button or dial # before entering a feature code. You only need a programmed Feature button in order to enter account codes (p. 11) during calls. For details about programming a Feature button, see p. 10. If a Feature button is programmed, there will be two Feature buttons on the handset:
•The programmed Feature button. If you choose to program a Feature button, use the top right line button for this purpose (button 5, above).
•The factory-set imprinted Feat button (see p. 1) on the handset, located beneath the dialpad. This imprinted Feat button is used to program buttons and settings (see p. 22).
Throughout this book, we refer to the programmed Feature button. The telephone Feat button used to enter program mode is the imprinted Feat button.

Your Lucent Technologies cordless or wireless phone is equipped with a single-prong headset jack on the left, near the volume control switch (MDC 9000), or on the bottom, near the extension label (MDW 9000/9010).
Your headset assists in call answering and provides hands-free operation.
The headpiece provides sound in one ear. It has an adjustable headband and soft ear cushion. The noise-canceling microphone reduces background noise by up to 75%.
Important: The range of the handset is diminished when you are using the headset. Therefore, you may need to move closer to the base, or move the base closer to your operating area.
When using a headset, the 12-inch (30-cm) headset adapter cord is required. The “quick disconnect” plug on the headset adapter cord attaches to the headset. The headset adapter miniplug is then inserted into the headset jack on the handset.
If desired, the headset adapter cord can be removed from the handset without the call being dropped. You can then use the handset as you normally would.
Note: Calls cannot be heard on the handset when the headset adapter cord is connected to the headset jack. The handset microphone is also disabled.
Answering Calls with a Headset
For convenience when using the holster, the headset On/Off button near the antenna should be used. This button will become active only when the headset adapter cord is plugged into the headset jack. It is identical in function to the On/Off button to the left of the Hold button.
When you receive a call, you hear ringing coming from the handset; you do not hear a tone from the headset itself. To answer a call, activate the headset On/Off button near the antenna, or if you prefer, the On/Off button to the left of the Hold button (if the handset is not in the holster).

To place a call with a headset:
1.Remove the handset from the holster.
2.Press the On/Off button to access an available line.

SECURITY ALERT: |
|
If the system selects an SA Voice button when you add a conference participant, you hear a beep instead of ringing after you dial the extension. If the call is not answered and you press the Conf button to complete the call, your conversation with other conference participants is broadcast on the extension’s speakerphone. To prevent this, be sure to drop an unanswered extension that you’ve called on an SA Voice button.
When you have a call or conference on hold, your phone beeps once each minute.
1.Press the Hold button to put a call on hold. (Do not press Drop to end a conference while the call is on hold.)
2.To return to the call or conference, press the winking ICOM, SA, or line button that is holding the call.
To transfer:
1.Press the Trans button. The system selects an ICOM or SA button and puts the call on hold.
2.Dial the extension or the outside number.
3.Announce the call if desired.
4.Press the Trans button or hang up. To cancel the transfer or return to the call on hold, press the winking ICOM, SA, or line button.
To one-touch manual transfer:
1.Press the programmed Auto Dial button (p. 12) for the number where you want to transfer the call.
