Introduction

About TransTalk™ 9000 Products

Congratulations on the purchase of your new TransTalk 9000 Digital Wireless System MDW 9030P Pocketphone. MDW stands for "Multi-Line Digital Wireless." The MDW 9030P Pocket-

phone is the latest addition to the TransTalk 9000 family of wireless products, which also includes the MDW 9000 Telephone and the MDW 9010 Telephone. 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, MERLIN , MERLIN II, MERLIN Plus, MERLIN LEGEND , System 25, System 75, System 85, or DEFINITY ) to provide wireless flexibility.

What Is a Wireless Phone?What Is a Wireless Phone?

What Is a Wireless Phone?

What Is a Wireless Phone?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 need to wait until you are back at your desk, and you can reduce the number of (sometimes costly) phone calls you must return.

TransTalk 9000 SystemTransTalk 9000 System

TransTalk 9000 System

TransTalk 9000 SystemTransTalk 9000 System

Your wireless phone's handset is linked with your communications system through a matching radio module, 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. And 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 18 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. Up to three carriers can be linked to support up to 18 wireless phones in a single zone; linked carriers are automatically synchronized with each other.

About the MDW 9030P Pocketphone

The MDW 9030P Pocketphone is not only wireless, but it is also lightweight and pocketsized. 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 9030P 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 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 9030P provides Redial, Hold, Mute, Transfer, and Conference buttons, and provides the capability to program additional features on unused line buttons.

Privacy InformationPrivacy Information

Privacy Information

Privacy InformationPrivacy Information

The MDW 9030P Pocketphone 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 Pocketphone?Where Can You Use Your Pocketphone?

Where Can You Use Your Pocketphone?

Where Can You Use Your Pocketphone?Where Can You Use Your Pocketphone?

The MDW 9030P Pocketphone can be used in most typical office buildings, in warehouses, malls, and even in outdoor areas such as loading docks. The location of the radio module

greatly affects the performance of the MDW 9030P, so you should use the Wireless Test Mode described 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.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient OperationGuidelines for Safe and Efficient Operation

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Operation

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient OperationGuidelines 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 EnergyExposure to Radio Frequency Energy

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

Exposure to Radio Frequency EnergyExposure 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.

Cardiac PacemakersCardiac Pacemakers

Cardiac Pacemakers

Cardiac PacemakersCardiac Pacemakers

CAUTION:

The MDW 9030P 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 .6 W. 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 to ensure that there is ample distance between the digital wireless thelephone 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 holding it to the ear opposite the side of the body where the pacemaker is implanted when using the phone. Consult your physician or medical device manufacturer to determine if additional precautions are necessary.

Hearing Aid CompatibilityHearing Aid Compatibility

Hearing Aid Compatibility

Hearing Aid CompatibilityHearing Aid Compatibility

Most electronic equipment, such as equipment in hospitals is shielded from RF energy. However RF energy from wireless telephones may affect some electronic equipment.

Although the TransTalk wireless telephone is compatible with inductively-coupled hearing aids, you should consult your physician or hearing aid manufacturer to determine if your 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.

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 (333 m) of 26-gauge cable.

■

The radio module or carrier(s) should be placed high on the wall for optimum voice quality and range. Allow 6–12 inches (15.2–30.5 cm) of space between the top of the antenna on the radio modules and the ceiling.

■

The radio module or carrier(s) should never be installed above a drop, suspended ceiling.

Installing the MDW 9030P Pocketphone

2-9

■

The radio module or carrier(s) should not be within 3 feet (.9 m) of any large metal object, and should not have metal objects in the line of sight to the operating area of the handset.

■

The radio module or carrier(s) should not be 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.

■

The radio module or carrier(s) should

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

Additional Rules for Installing a Single Radio Module OnlyAdditional 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.

Additional Rules for Installing One or More CarriersAdditional 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 a carrier that has another carrier to the right of it must always contain a

radio module to pass the synchronization signal to the next carrier.

CAUTION:

Carrier(s) cannot be installed outdoors.

You can determine sound clarity, signal strength, and voice quality using Wireless Test Mode. You should use Wireless Test Mode to help you locate the best place to install the radio

module(s) to optimize the performance of your MDW 9030P Pocketphone. Repeat the tests several times, with the radio module positioned in a different location each time.

By performing the tests as you walk around the area in which the handset will be used, you can determine the handset’s range and the voice quality throughout the area of coverage. To perform the tests, all you need is an electrical outlet for the radio module and a charged battery pack in the handset. You can perform the tests multiple times and in any order; and you can exit at any time by pressing O.

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 ChargerPositioning the Battery Charger

Positioning the Battery Charger

Positioning the Battery ChargerPositioning 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 uninterruptable 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. Like other batteries of this type, if it is burned or punctured, it 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.

■

If you are wall-mounting the battery charger, follow Steps 1 through 7

■

If you are desk-mounting the battery charger, follow only Steps 1, 5, and 7

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.

To wall-mount, place the battery charger's wall-mounting template (located on 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.

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.

Place the screw through the wall spacers so that the screw head nests in the indenta-

tion on the spacer. Start the screws, and screw them in until the wall spacers rest against the wall.

2. Press and hold the Select button (") for three seconds.

3. While still holding ", press O. The handset beeps twice, and the display shows the handset settings, indicating you

are in Local Mode. (While in Local Mode, the MDW 9030P can still receive notification of incoming calls.)

4. Press "W" (9) to enter Wireless Test Mode.

5. Press 1. The display should show a 9 or 10 for signal strength. If it does not, see Chapter 5,

"Troubleshooting," for help with range problems.

6. Press 2. The display should show a 9 or 10 for voice quality. If it does not, see Chapter 5,

"Troubleshooting," for help with range problems and/or voice quality problems.

7. Periodically check the signal strength and voice quality as you walk away from the radio

module. Each time you press 1 or 2, you get a new reading.

When you see a signal strength of 3, you are at the "edge of range" for the MDW 9030P

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

8. With a signal strength of 3, press 2 to check the voice quality. When the voice quality

is 7 or 8, the voice connection should be satisfactory. This is the edge of your usable range.

The following diagram illustrates this Performance/Range test.

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.

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.

Extending Battery LifeExtending 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.

"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 9030P 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, depending on how much charge is left in the battery pack when you insert it into the charger and press the REFRESH button:

Battery-Pack Charge State Discharge Time Recharge Time Total Time

Low charge (Battery icon is lit)

Full charge 3 hours 1 hour 4 hours

Note that your handset will consume power during both talk time (when the handset is turned on) and standby time (when the handset is turned off, but out of the battery charger). A fully charged battery pack provides about 3 hours of talk time or about 22 hours of standby time. 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.

0.5 hours 1 hour 1.5 hours

It is highly 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.

IMPORTANT:IMPORTANT:

IMPORTANT:

IMPORTANT:IMPORTANT:

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.

Using the MDW 9030P Pocketphone 3-21

Follow these steps to ensure an uninterrupted supply of power to your MDW 9030P Pocketphone:

■

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 the packs between the handset and the Spare battery compartment at least once a week, so that 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.)

Voice Quality Problems

Voice Quality ProblemsVoice Quality Problems

Symptom Possible SolutionsPossible Causes

Handset voice quality and range are not as good as they were before.

A competing radio device (for example, a wireless bar-code scanner) has been installed in the area. Both products are competing for the same air space and will conflict when both are being used.

Place the handset in Wireless Test Mode as described in Chapter 2. If the signal strength and voice quality readings are low, look for a newly installed radio device nearby. Remove it or move your handset’s matching radio module at least 6 feet (1.8 m) away from the potential interference.

Radio modules are out of synchronization.

Antenna of the radio module is too close to the ceiling.

You have a malfunctioning radio module.

For a single-carrier installation, power down, then repower the carrier.

For a multiple-carrier installation:

1. Verify that all expansion cables are installed in the correct IN and OUT jacks.

2. Verify that all expansion cables are fully inserted into their jacks.

3. Power down, then repower the control carrier.

4. Power down, then repower the expansion carriers in order, from left to right.

Reinstall the radio module or carrier(s) so that the radio module antenna is 6–12 inches (15.2–30.5 cm) from the ceiling.

1. Remove all but one radio module from the carrier. (See "Removing a Radio Module from the Carrier" in Chapter 4.)

2. Test each radio module individually, verifying that the POWER LEDs on each radio module lights when the carrier is powered.

and

PASS

Voice quality in a specific location is poor and noisy.

Handset is too close to the carrier(s).

3. If the PASS LED does not light, the radio module is malfunctioning. Replace the radio module and handset.

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 a 008 analog telephone module.

■

Since the MDW 9030P 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 9030P 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 9030P 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.
