About the MDW 9040 Pocket Phone
1 Introduction
The MDW 9040 Pocket Phone has been designed to wor k with Lucent Technologies communi cations systems
including PARTNER
The MDW 9040 is different from its predecessors in several different ways:
®
, MERLIN®, MERLIN MAGIX™ and DEFINITY® switches).
IMPORTANT NOTE: The MDW 9040 is NOT backward com p atib le 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 base station to which the handset is connected is called a Dual-Radio
Module (o r D RM) because eac h module can support two handset s
simultaneously.
•
The DRM and the handset work toget her without a carrier backplane unit. The
DRM itself can be placed on a flat surface such as a shelf or table or mounted on
a wall.
•
In the past, one ba se station was shipped from the factory together with a handset
with the same serial code and registration number. Beginning with the
MDW 9040, the DRM and the handset are packaged se para tely, and the customer
will need to regist er ea ch hand set with the DRM with which it will communic at e.
Again, each DRM can communicate with two handsets.
Privacy Information
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 buildi ngs, warehouses, malls, and even outdoor
areas such as loading docks. The location of the DRM greatly aff ects the performance of the MDW 9040. Read the “Positioning the DRM” section in Chapter 2 to determine the best place to install the DRM. Repeat the tests
several times with the DRM positioned in a different location each time. To perform the te sts, all you need is an
electrical outlet for the DRM and a charged battery pack in the handset.

Overview
There ar e three main steps for installing your MDW 9040:
1
Connecting the Dual-Radio Module (DRM) to the switch
(Refer to th e inf ormation below in the sect ion titled, “Ins tallation Procedures for
the DRM.”)
2
Registering each handset to the appropriate DRM
(Refer to th e inf ormation in the se ction titled, “Setting Up and Re gistering th e
Handset” on page 13.)
1
Checking button mapping to coincide with the communications system to
which the MDW 9040 is conn ec t ed
(Refer to the information in the section titled, “Mapping the MDW 9040 to the
Correct Communications System” on page 16.)
IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE YOU BEGIN INSTALLATION:

instr u ct io ns on pag e 10 .
The external ant en n a (label ed 2) and the internal diversity antenna (labeled 3) are
used to enhance signal strength for the MDW 9040.
The DRM has two LEDs on its side, the Power LED and the Control LED:
The green PowerLED (labeled 4) goes on steady to indicate that the DRM is
receiving powe r and flashes to indicat e that the handset connected to Line 1 is in
Registration Mode.
The gree n Control LED (la bel ed 5) goe s on ste ady to indi cate tha t this DRM cont rols
other DRM(s) to which it is connected and flashes to indicate that the handset
connected to Line 2 is in Registration Mode.
The circuitry of each DRM allows it to interface with two switch ports for
communications, signaling, and power. It does this by using the following
connections:

Installation Procedures for the DRM Installing and Registering the MDW 9040 Pocket Phone
•
When wall-mounting the DRM, place the DRM high on the wall for optimum
voice quali ty and range. Allow 6–12 inches (15.2–30.5 cm) of space be tween the
top of the antenna on the radio modules and the ceiling.
•
DO NOT install the DRM above a drop or suspended ceiling.
•
Do not locate the DRM within 3 feet (.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 DRM within 6 feet (1.8 m) – 10 feet (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; electromagneti c 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 DRM does not share the same power line as equipment with
microprocessors such as answering machines, personal computers, and fax
mach in es or electr o m ag n e tic equipm ent such as el ec tr i c m o t or s.
•
Install a single DRM 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.
2
•
You can install a single DRM in a remote location using a telephone line cord to
connect the radio module to the communications system switch/control unit.
IROBs and an auxiliary power supply must be used for out-of-building
installations.
Single-Zone and Dual-Zone Configuration
Multiple DRM units can be installed and configured for single- or dual-zone
operation.
•
In a single-zone configuration, all DRMs provide communication to the same
area or zone.
•
In a dual-zone configuration, two sets of DRMs share handsets that can be
operated in tw o different are as. Thi s type of opera tio n require s two connec tio ns to
the associated switch.
The customer, usual ly the system administrator, is responsible for registering the
DRM with its two associa ted handsets. For single-z one operation, each handse t mu st
be registered to its associated DRM; each DRM can be regis tered with one or two
handsets. For a handset being used in a dual-zone configuration, the handset m ust be
registered to a DRM in each of the two zones.
Auxiliary Power and Switch Wiring
The DRM connects to an associated switch through a switch port. Normally, a DRM
is powered through one or both of its switch port interfa ce s. However, there may be
occasions when an auxi liary power supply may be required.
With 24-gauge wire, the maximum loop length of a DRM connected with a
PARTNER or MERLIN system is 1,000 fee t. When the DRM is connected with a
MERLIN MAGIX or DEFINITY system, the maximum loop length is 2,000 feet.

Installing Multiple DRMs for Single-Zone Operation
Two or more DRMs must be connected so that their transmissi on and reception signals will be synchronized. In
this way, the signals transmitted to or receive d by one DRM will not interfere with another. This s ynchronization
can be done in a single-zone or a dual-zone configuration.
Synchronization
When two or more DRMs are connected, one DRM shall be deemed the “Control”
DRM since it is administered to control the synchronization for all of the other DRMs
to whic h it is connected; that is, when the “Control” DRM is transmitting or recei ving
signals, the other DRMs connected to it transmit or receive signals at the same time.
Note:
When connected to a DEFINITY switch, a maximum of 15 DRMs can be
connected and successfully syn chronized together; within this
configuration there can be a maximum of 30 handsets.
When connected to a PARTNER switch, a maximum of 9 DRMS can be
connected and synchronized to gether; within t his configuration there can
be a maximum of 18 handsets.

Installing and Registering the MDW 9040 Pocket Phone Installation Procedures for the DRM
The following is a diagram showi ng three DRM units operating in a single-zone confi guration providing six
handsets with the appropriate switch interface.
Figure 4.Three DRMs Connected and In Sync
To install multiple DRMs for single-zone operation:
1
Remove ea ch DRM from its shi pping box and place it in t he location specified by
the customer or use the wall-mounting template (provided on the last page of this
book). To wall-mount the DRM, see the instructions for wall-mounting on
page 10.
2
For the first handset to be connected to the DRM, connect a 14-foot D8W line
cable to Line 1 on the DRM and then connect the other end of the cable to a
switch port at the main system. If a second handset is to be connected to the
DRM, connect another line cable to Line 2 on the DRM and then con nect the
other end of that cable to another switch port.
Note:
If the DRM cann ot b e connect ed to an a ssoci ated s witch , the DRM can b e
temporarily connected to an auxiliary power supply that can provide
electri c a l p owe r.
3
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for each DRM and handse t combination in this
configuration.
4
To daisy chain two or more DRMs, plug a 20-inc h synchronization cord from the
Sync jack on one DRM to the Sync jack on the other DRM.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When two or more DRMs are synchronized,
only one DRM should have the CONTR OL LED li t.

Extending Battery Life
The battery ch arger 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 c harge and the longest ta lk time. For more information about the batter y
charger, see the nex t se ct io n , Positioning and Installing the Battery Charger.
“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 9040 is resistant to the
memory effect. Even so, it is recommended that you refr es h your battery pack at least once a week.
The follo wing table shows how long refreshing takes, depending on how much cha rge is left in the battery pack

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.
The follo wing s teps will ensure an uninterrupted supply of power to your MDW 9040 Pocket Phone:
•
If you have only one battery pack, be sure to refresh it at least once a mont h. 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 hands et cradle of the
battery char ger, and pressi ng the REFRESH button.
•
If you have two bat tery packs, exchange the packs between the handset and the
Spare battery comp ar tment at least once a week, so that each battery pack is
automatically refres h ed. (Alternate the battery pa cks even if the handset battery
never flashes the Ba tter y icon in the hands et display to indic ate a low battery
condition.)
•
The average battery life for both the standard and the extended battery packs is
approximatel y one year, assuming that the battery is discharged and charged once
a day. If the ba ttery packs are discharged an d charged twice a day, the life
expectancy is approximately six months.
Note:
Depending on the level of memory effect that the batter y pack has, it is
sometimes necess ary to refresh the battery pack two or more times:
~
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 RE FRESH, 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.

Signal Strength and
Range Indicators
Signal Strength is indicated by the number of bars in the Radio Frequency (RF)
Signal Level icon (). Four bars indicate optimal signal leve l, while one bar or no
bars indicate poor signal level.
Note:
The antenna must be either fully retracted (for short range) or fully
extended (for maximum range) to use the Pocket Phone.
The handset provides an audible and a visual signal to alert you when the handset is
near the end of the range of the radio mod ule. Depending on how far away the
handset is fr om th e radio module, the signals function as follows:
•
OUT-OF-RANGE During a Call: The handset emits 2 beeps and/or turns on
the vibrator f or a short period of time and flashes the icon continuously.
Whic h means: Out of 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 or
possible loss of communications link. If a loss of link occurs , the call will be
automatically placed on hold, before the handset will turn off. To talk with your
party, move back to ward the radio module, press , then proceed as you
would for any call placed on Hold.
•
OUT-OF-RANGE During a Call Attempt: When you try to make a call, the
handset emits 2 beeps and flashes the icon twice; then the handset automatically turns off.
Whic h me ans: Cannot es tablish communication link. You are complete ly out of
range of the radio module. To make the call, move back towards the radio mod ule
and try again.
Refer to Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting,” for additional information about
out-of-range conditions.
Low Battery Indicator
The Battery Charge Level is indicated by the number of cells displayed on the
Battery C harge Level icon (). If all four cells are filled in, the battery is fully
charged. If two or less ce lls are displayed, it is time to recharge the battery.
The standard battery pack has approximately three hours of continuous talk time
after being fully charged.
The optional extended battery pack has appro ximately eight hours of continuous
talk time after being fully charged.
When the handset is On and the battery power is low, the handset will emit two beeps and/or turns on the vi brator for a short period of time and the icon on the
handset display will flash. When this occurs, you have five minutes or less of talk
time left. At this point, you can either:
•
Complete your call, turn the handset of f, and recharge the batt ery pack, OR
•
If you have a charged spare battery pack, place your call on Hold and replace the
handset battery pa ck with the spare battery pack. Wait 6 to 10 seconds, then turn
the handset on and proceed as you would for any call place d on Hold.
Note:
When the battery power is low, the two beeps will sound each time you
press until either the batter y is drained or you replace the battery. If
you continue talking, the handset will turn off when the battery pack is
drained. Your call will be placed on Hold automatically so tha t you ca n
swap battery packs or pick up the call on another telephone.

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 9040 does not have a speaker function, the Voice Announce
feature must be disabled. It is recommended that you use MERLIN 206/410/820
Systems installe d with Feature Package 2 with your wireless phone, so that you
can disable that feature.
•
Since the MDW 9040 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 dis play as the equivalent of red and green LEDs, re spectively.
•
For MERLIN II System users, if you program an Auto Inte rcom button, idle li ne
preference must be set to intercom.
•
If any of your incoming lines has the Call Waiting feature, use the Recall f eature
(letter “C” in the display) and press it before you pick up a wa iting call. You can
dial “# 5 0” 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 button
disconnects the call.
•
Feat/P
The
button on the MDW 9040 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 Syst em Fe ature button. This enables you to use the wide array of
MER LI N LEG END System featur es by turn i n g th e se t o n, pressing the S y st em
Feature button, and dialing the appro p r iate “*” co de number.
