1 Introduction
About TransTalk® 9000 Products
Congratulations on the purchase of your new TransTalk 9000 Digital Wireless System MDW 9040 Wireless
Pocket Phone. MDW stands for “Multi-Line Digital Wireless.” The MDW 9040 Pocket Phones are the latest
addition to the TransTalk 9000 family of wireless products. These phones are designed to Avaya
Communication’s high standards for convenience, reliability, and innovation.
What Is a Wireless Phone?
A wireless phone has no handset 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 costl y) phone calls you must return.
About the MDW 9040 Pocket Phone
The MDW 9040 Pocket Phone has been designed to work with Avaya communications systems includi ng
PARTNER
The MDW 9040 is lightweight and pocket-sized. A belt clip and wrist lanyard are provided with the handset. You
can use either the clip or the lanyard for hands-free portability. The MDW 904 0 also has a h eadse t connector to
accommodate an optional headset.
®
, MERLIN®, MERLIN LEGEND®, MERLIN MAGIX™ and DEFINITY® switches.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The MDW 9040 is NOT backward
compatible with other TransTalk systems; that is, it CANNOT be
added to existing TransTalk systems or used in the same coverage
area as the MDW 9000, MDW 9010, MDW 9030, or MDW 9031.
The MDW 9040 is different from its predecessors in several ways:
•The base station to which the handset is linked is called a Dual Radio Module
because each module can support two handsets simult aneously.
•Synchronization of multiple Dual Radio Modules and handsets is accomplished
without a carrier. The radio module itself can be placed on a flat surface such as a
shelf or table or mounted on a wall.
•In the past, one base station was shipped from the factory together with a handset
with the same serial code and registration number. Beginning with the
MDW 9040, the Dual Radio Module and the handset are packaged separately, and
the customer will need to register each handset with the r adio mo du le with which
it will communicate. Again, each Dual Radio Module can communicate with two
handsets.

1 IntroductionAbout the MDW 9040 Pocket Phone in a Dual Zone Configuration
You can be notified of an incoming call by either an alerter (which rings) or a vibrator, or both. There is a 5 row
x 16 character user-activated backlit display that shows telephone system information, icons representing various
handset functions (such as the alerter and the vibrator), and the status of up to 12 lines/features (i.e., telephone
lines, intercom lines, programmable features and telephone features). The MDW 9040 provides Redial, Hold,
Mute, Transfer, and Co n feren ce butto ns , and allows you to program additional features.
About the MDW 9040 Pocket Phone in a Dual Zone
Configuration
The MDW 9040 Pocket Phone allows you to link up with either of two different radio modules in a dual zone
configuration. This dual zone capability expands the coverage area in which you are able to make and answer
calls. Dual zone coverage allows you to make and answer calls using the same MDW 9040 Pocket Phone for
either radio module in Zone 1 or Zone 2. Dual zone installations require 2 station ports, one for each radio
module. See “Installing Multiple Radio Modules in a Dual Zone Configuration” in Chapter 2 for more
information.
Privacy Informa tion
The MDW 9040 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 9040 Pocket Phone can be used in most typical office buildings, warehouses, factories, malls, and
even outdoor areas such as loading docks. The location of the Dual Radio Module greatly affects the
performance of the M D W 90 40. Read the “Positioning a Dual Radio Modul e” section in Chapter 2 to determine
the best place to install the radio module. Repeat the tests several times with the radio module positio ned in a
different location each time. If you are using an optional auxiliary power supply, the MDW 9040 Pocket Phone
has a built-in testing feature that you can use before final installation (station wiring run) to help d e termine
proper placement of the radio module. To perform the tests, you need an electrical outlet for the radio module, a
14 foot (4.2 m) Station Line Cord (provided) with the auxiliary power supply, and a charged battery pack in the
handset (you do not need a communications system switch or control unit). The tests are described in “Using
Wireless Test M ode” in Chapter 5.

•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 soapand-water solution. Dry quickly with a so ft 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.
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.

2 Installing the MDW 9040 Pocket Phone SystemImportant Safety Instructions
Cardiac Pacemakers
and Life-Support
Equipment
!
CAUTION:
The MDW 9040 handset is a radio transceiver device. It is recommended that
the handset not be placed within 6 inches of a pacemaker.
It is recommended that standard acceptance test procedures be followed prior to
operating this equipment in proximity of life-support equipment. Until more is
known, the FDA suggests that people with pacemakers may want to take some simple
precautions when using or carrying digital wirel ess 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 exam ple, in
a shirt or a coat pocket directly over the pacemaker implant) when th e phone is on and
ready to receive a call and by hold ing it to th e 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. Use of an optional
headset would solve this problem.
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.

Quick Installation Overview Installing the MDW 9040 Pocket Phone System 2
Auxiliary Power and Switch Wiring
The radio module connects to an associated switch through a station port. Normally, a radio module is powered
through one or both of its station port interfaces. However, there may be occasions when an auxiliary power
supply may be required. The auxiliary power supply can be connected to either of the radio module’s station
ports.
With 24-gauge wire, the maximum loop length of a radio module connected with a
PARTNER or MERLIN system is 1,000 feet (305 m). When the radio module is
connected with a MERLIN MAGIX or DEFINITY system, the maximum loop leng th
is 2,000 feet (610 m). However, with auxiliary power, radio modules connected to
these systems will have a maximum loop length of 3,000 feet (915 m).
The following auxiliary power supplies are preferred: The 1151A1 Power Supply
(PEC: 2404-010A; Comcode: 108212952) or the 1151A2 Power Supply with Battery
Holdover (PEC: 2404-012A; Comcode: 108212960).
Note:If you are using an auxiliary power supply, the MDW 9040 Pocket Phone
has a built-in testing feature that you can use before final installation
(station wiring run) to help determine proper placement of the radio
module. To perform the tests, you need an electrical outlet for the radio
module, a 14 foot (4.2 m) Station Line Cord (provided) with the auxiliary
power supply , an d a char ged battery pack in the han dset (you do n ot need
a communications system switch or control unit). The tests are described
in “Using Wireless Test Mode” in Chapter 5.
Be sure the radio module 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.

Positioning a Dual Radio Module
The radio modules for each zone of communication can be placed on a flat surface such as a desk or shelf for
ease of installation, OR mounted on the wall (higher is usually better). Use the following rules for positioning a
radio module in your system.
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.
General Positioning
Rules
Failure to observe the following rules regarding location and use will result in poor
performance of your MDW 9040 Pocket Phone.
The Synchronization cable connecting two radio modules is 20 inches
•
(50 cm) long.
•When positioning radio modules, they must be installed with a minimum
separation that is provided by the base “wings” of the radio module (5 1/4”). A
template for wall-mounting the radio modules is provided in Appendi x E.
•When wall-mounting the radio module, place it high on the wall for optimum
voice quality and range. Allow 6 to 12 inches (15.2 to 30.5 cm) of space between
the top of the antenna on the radio module and the ceiling.
MDW 9040 Wireless Pocket Phone Installation and Use,

Quick Installation Overview Installing the MDW 9040 Pocket Phone System 2
•
DO NOT install the radio module above a drop or suspended ceiling.
•Do not locate the radio module 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 within 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 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.
•You can install a single radio module in a remote locatio n using a teleph one line
cord to connect the radio module to the communications system switch/control
unit. IROBs and (if required by distance limitations) an auxiliary power supply must be used for out-of-building installations.
Note:Y ou should perform the tests described in “Using Wireless Test Mode” in
Chapter 5 to determine the optimal placement of the radio module.
Single Zone and Dual Zone Configuration
Multiple radio module units can be installed and configured for single or dual zone
operation.
•In a single zone configuration, all radio modules provide communication to the
same area or zone.
•In a dual zone configuration, two sets of radio m odules share ha ndsets that can be
operated in two different areas. Th is type of operation r equires two connec tions to
the associated switch.
You must register the radio module with its associated handset(s). For single zone
operation, each handset must be registered to its associated radio module; each radio
module can be registered with one or two handsets. For a hands et being used in a dual
zone configuration, the handset must be registered to a radio module in each of the
two zones. (See Chapter 4, “Registering the Pocket Phone to a Dual Radio Module”
for registration information.)

2 Installing the MDW 9040 Pocket Phone SystemInstallation Procedures for Dual Radio
Installation Procedures for Dual Radio Modules
There are three types of installations according to the needs of your wireless communications system.
1 Installing one radio module for single zone operation, the simplest type of
configuration; for information on this type of configuration, use the procedures on
page 15.
2 Installing multiple radio modules for single zone operation; for information on
this type of configuration, use the procedures on page 15.
3 Installing multiple radio modules for dual zone operation; for information on
this type of configuration, use the procedures on page 17.
Before you begin installation, please review the “Quick Installation Overview”
section beginning on page 8 and info rmation about positioning the radio module on
page 12.
Note:For some installers, it may be more convenient to unpack the radio
module and handset in the switch room, power up the radio module, and
then register the handset prior to installing the radio module. For this
procedure, refer to the introductory information and figures for the radio
module in this section and then follow the registration procedures
outlined in Chapter 4, “Registering the Pocket Phone to a Dual R adio
Module,” or see “A Quick Reference Procedure for Handset
Registrat ion” on page 39.
Before you r egister the handset with the radio module, you must insert
the charged battery pack in the handset. See “Inserting and Removing the
Handset’s Battery Pack” later in this Chapter.
A radio module can be placed on a flat surface s uch as a desk or shelf OR mounted on
the wall.
Wall-Mounting the Dual Radio Module
To wall-mount a radio module:
1 Remove the radio module and mounting plate from its shipping box. Choose a

5 Follow the installation procedures for “Installing a Dual Radio Module,”
“Installing Multiple Radio Modules for Single Zone Operation,” or “Installing
Multiple Radio Modules in a Dual Zone Configuration.”
Installing a Dual Radio Module
To install one radio module on a desk or shelf:
1 Remove the radio module from its shipping box and place it in the location you
have selected (for wall-mounting instructions, see “Wall-Mounting the Dual
Radio Module” on page 14).
2 For the first handset to be connected to the radio module, connect a 14 foot
(4.2 m) Station Line Cord (provided) to Line 1 on the radio module and then
connect the other end of the cord to a station port at the main communication
system. If a second handset is to be connected to the radio module, connect
another Station Line Cord t o Line 2 on the radio module and then connect the
other end of that cord to another station port.
Note:If the radio module cannot be connected to an associated switch, it can be
temporarily connected to an auxiliary power supply that can provide
electrical power.
3 Verify that the radio module has power and that the status LED information is
correct. See “Dual Radio Module Light Indications” on page 10.
4 Proceed to “Setting Up and Registering the Handset” on page 35 .
Installing Multiple Radio Modules for Single Zone Operation
Two or more radio modules must be connected so that their transmissio n and reception signals will be
synchronized. In this way, the signals transmitted to or received by one radio module will not interfere with
another. This synchronization can be done in a single zone (see below) or a dual zone configuration (see
page 17).

2 Installing the MDW 9040 Pocket Phone SystemInstallation Procedures for Dual Radio
SynchronizationWhen two or more radio modules are connected, one radio module shall be deemed
the “Control” radio module since it is administered to control the synchronization for
all of the other radio modules to which it is connected; that is, when the “Control”
radio module is transmitting or receiving signals (Control LED is Steady Green), the
expansion or other radio modules connected to it transmit or receive signals at the
same time (Expansion LEDs are Steady Amber).
Note:Radio modules can be installed in a single zone or dual zone
configuration with up to the same number of handsets
modules (18 handsets) per zone for key systems such as PARTNER or
MERLIN or MERLIN MAGIX and up to 15 radio modul es (30 handset s)
for PBX systems such as MERLIN LEGEND or MERLIN MAGIX (in
PBX mode) and DEFINITY.

To install multiple radio modules for single zone operation:
1 Remove each radio module from its shipping box and place it in the location you
have selected (for wall-mounting instructions, see “Wall-Mounting the Dual
Radio Module” on page 14).
2 For the first handset to be connected to the radio module, connect a 14 foot
(4.2 m) Station Line Cord (provided) to Line 1 on the radio module and then
connect the other end of the cord to a station port at the main system. If a second
handset is to be connected to the radio module, connect another Station Line Cord
to Line 2 on the radio module and then connect the other end of that cord to
another stat ion port.
Note:If the radio module cannot be con nected to an associated sw itch, the radio
module can be temporarily connected to an auxiliary power supply that
can provide electrical power.
3 Verify that the radio module has power and that the status LED information is
correct. See “Dual Radio Module Light Indications” on page 10.
4 Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for each radio module and handset combination in this
configuration.
5 To daisy chain two or more radio modules, plug the 20 inch (50 cm)
synchronization cable (provided) from the Sync jack on one radio module to the
Sync jack on the other radio module (either Sync jack can be used).
6 Proceed to “Setting Up and Registering the Handset” on page 35 .
Installing Multiple Radio Modules in a Dual Zone Configuration
Dual zone coverage allows you to originate and receive calls using the same handset for two radio modules in
either Zone 1 or Zone 2. Dual zone installations re quire two station ports, one for each radi o module, as shown in
Figure 6 below.

2 Installing the MDW 9040 Pocket Phone SystemInstallation Procedures for Dual Radio
Installation of the MDW 9040 in a dual zone configuration is the same as that for the single zone, except that the
installation of a second radio module is requ ired. Like the s ingle zone MDW 904 0, the dual zo ne can be ins talled
in a single user configuration or a multiple user configuration with up to the same number of handsets, that is, 18
handsets per zone for key systems such as PARTNER or MERLIN and up to 30 handsets for PBX systems such
as MERLIN MAGIX and MERLIN LEGEND (in PBX mode) and DEFINITY.
When installing the MDW 9040 in a dual zone configuration in the same building, you should eliminate or limit
how much zone overlap there is between Zone 1 and Zone 2, as shown in Figure 7. In the ideal dual zone
installation, there is no overlap or interference between radio modules. If there is minimal overlap, there will be
some interference between radio modules. If the zones overlap too much, there will be interference between the
two radio module installations, causing the following: bad voice quality and/or the handset is rendered
inoperable (“ranges”).
General Guidelines
Regarding Zone
Overlaps
Dual Zone Installation
Procedures
•Separate the radio modules so that you have continual coverage, yet no overlap
(recommended) or minimal overlap between zones.
•If there is an overlap condition, poor voice quality could occur and the Range icon
may begin flashing in the handset display. If this occurs, move the radio module
further from the original installation positio n.
Figure 7.Ideal Dual Zone Installation
Approx 1000 feet
Recommended Dual Zone Installation - No Overlap of Zones,
No Interference or Operational Issues.
To install multiple radio modules for dual zone operation:
1 Remove each radio module from its shipping box and place them in the locations
you have selected (for wall-mounting instructions, see “Wall-Mounting the Dual
Radio Module” on page 14). The radio modules must be placed in separate zones.
2 For the first handset to be connected to the radio module in Zone 1, connect a 14
foot (4.2 m) Station Line Cord (provided ) to Line 1 on the radio module and then
connect the other end of the cord to a station port at the main system. If a second
handset is to be connected to the radio module, connect another Station Line Cord
to Line 2 on the radio module and then connect the other end of that cord to
another stat ion port.
3 Repeat Step 2 for the second radio module in Zone 1.
4 Ve rify that both radio modu les hav e power and that the status LED informatio n is
correct. See “Dual Radio Module Light Indications” on page 10.

6 To daisy chain two or more radio modules in the same zone, plug the 20 inch
(50 cm) synchronization cable (provided) from the Sync jack on one radio
module to the Sync jack on the other radio module (either Sync jack ca n be u sed).
Note:When two or more radio modules are synchronized, only one radio
module should have the CONTROL LED lit (Steady Green), all others
must be lit Amber.

Dual Zone Administration
The MDW 9040 Wireles s Pocket Phone works with the following Avaya communications systems:
•PARTNER
•MERLIN
•MERLIN LEGEND
•MERLIN MAGIX
•DEFINITY
Each communications system requires unique administration in or der to work with
the MDW 9040 Wireless Pocket Phone. Locate your communications system from
the sections that follow and perform the administration tasks p rovided.
Note:Features, lines, and ringing options administered for any of the
communications systems should be administered identically for both
zones (station port 1 and station port 2) so that your pocket phone
operates the same way in either zone.
Administration for PARTNER
For PARTNER Communications Systems, you must administer 2 station ports (2 extensions)
radio module. Both radio module station ports should be set for either call coverage or set up in a calling group.
PARTNER calling groups are numbered 71-74. See your PARTNER Communications System manual for
information on setting up call coverage or calling groups.
If all calling groups are already used, group hunting can be set up between
the two radio modules. See your
PARTNER Communications System manual for information on applying setups.
