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

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 , an d

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 p hon e, yo u can mak e an d rec eive
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.
, PARTNER II,
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 fo llowing:
• The name of the MDW phone (9000, 90 10, 9030 P, 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 Informa tion
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 do cks. The location of the radio mod ule gr eatly affects the performance of the
MDW 9031/9031DCP. Read the “Positioning a Radio Module or Carrier(s)” s e ction 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 ex tended pho ne usage, yo u should p urchase an add itional 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.
®
T o help you answ er calls, an op tional Supra
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 object s 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.
Pocket Phone
• Unplug the battery charger, radio module, or carrier if its p ower 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 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 repetitio n
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.

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 no t 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 hold ing it to the ear oppos ite 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 Us e
Always follow these basic safety precautions when installing or using this product to reduce risk of injury from
fire or electric shock.
!

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
POWER
RADIO
PASS
Single Radio Module,
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).
The tests are described in “Using Wireless Test Mode” in Chapter 3.
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.

503-801-166 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, circuitbreaker 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.
Go to “Using Wireless Test Mode” in Chapter 3.
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:
1 Perform the tests described in “Using 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 rad io m odu le 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.

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 th e
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 r adio 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 gener al appearance, b ut the installation pr ocedure 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
Your Model 117A4 Carrier.”
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.

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.
