1 Introduction  
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  
the latest additions to the TransTalk 9000 family of wireless products, which also includes the MDW 9000  
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, and  
innovation.  
TransTalk 9000 products are designed to work with your communications system (PARTNER®, PARTNER II,  
PARTNER Plus, PARTNER Advanced Communications System, MERLIN®, MERLIN II, MERLIN Plus,  
MERLIN LEGEND®, System 25, System 75, System 85, or DEFINITY®) to provide wireless flexibility.  
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 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.  
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 following:  
The name of the MDW phone (9000, 9010, 9030P, 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 Information  
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 docks. The location of the radio module greatly affects the performance of the  
MDW 9031/9031DCP. Read the “Positioning a Radio Module or Carrier(s)” section 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 extended phone usage, you should purchase an additional 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.  
To help you answer calls, an optional Supra® 9031 headset or a Radium (over-the-ear) headset can be attached to  
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.

Pocket Phone  
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 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 soap-  
and-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 repetition  
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.

2 Installing the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone  
Important Safety Instructions  
!
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 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 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 holding it to the 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.  
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.  
!
CAUTION:  
This equipment is for installation on Lucent Technologies PARTNER,

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  
Single Radio Module,  
POWER  
RADIO  
P
A
S
S
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.

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, circuit-  
breaker 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.  
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 radio module 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.

Understanding Carriers  
Installing the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone 2  
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 the  
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 radio 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 general appearance, but the installation procedure 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  
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.

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.

The Model 117A3 carrier can serve as either a control or an expansion carrier.  
Whether you install one or more 117A3 carriers, you must set the Control/Expansion  
DIP switch in Slot 4 of each 117A3 carrier to indicate which role that carrier is filling.

The leftmost carrier, no matter what model number it is, must be the control carrier,  
and the remaining carriers are expansion carriers. The control carrier acts as the  
“lead” carrier—its transmit and receive patterns control the expansion carriers,  
ensuring that all of the linked carriers function as a single system.  
It is recommended that you determine which carrier is to be the control carrier and  
which, if any, will be expansion carriers; then set the Control/Expansion DIP  
switch(es) before mounting the carrier(s) on the wall.

Understanding Your Model 117A4 Carrier  
The Model 117A4 carrier differs from the 117A3 in that it does not require that Slot 6 contain a radio module in  
order to pass the signal from the control carrier to the next carrier. It also does not have Power and  
Control/Expansion DIP switches to set. The 117A4 automatically adjusts its power level and senses whether it is  
being used as a control or an expansion carrier.  
As the following illustration shows, the 117A4 does have an additional LED located on the right side of the  
carrier, the CONTROL/EXPANSION LED; this is used to determine whether the cabling was installed  
correctly.

Understanding Carriers  
The following chart explains the label that identifies the jacks and LEDs on the 117A4 carrier. (The IN and OUT  
jacks and the OUT OF SYNC LED also appear on the 117A3 carrier.)  
Label  
Explanation  
IN  
Designates the modular jack that accepts the  
modular plug and cable from the preceding  
carrier to the left. If the jack is in use, this  
carrier is an “expansion” carrier.  
OUT  
Designates the modular jack that accepts a  
modular plug and cable to connect this  
carrier to the next carrier to the right. This  
carrier can be either a “control” carrier (if it  
is the leftmost carrier) or an “expansion”  
carrier.  
OUT OF SYNC  
Designates the upper of two LEDs. If the  
LED is not lit, the carrier is “in sync.”  
If the LED glows red, the carrier is out of  
synchronization. Call Customer Support as  
Notices at the beginning of this book.  
CONTROL/EXPANSION  
Designates the lower of two LEDs. The  
color of the LED indicates the carrier  
configuration:  
Control carrier = green LED  
Expansion carrier = amber LED  
The light pattern indicates whether the  
carrier is operational:  
Glowing steadily = no problem  
Blinking = no radio module(s) in the carrier

Installing a Single Carrier  
Installing the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone 2  
Installing a Single Carrier on a Shelf or Desk  
You will not receive optimum performance if the unit is placed on a desk or low  
shelf.  
Install the unit as high as possible, leaving 6 to 12 inches (15.2 to 30.5 cm)  
between the top of the antenna and the ceiling, if on a high shelf.  
Never install or remove a radio module from a carrier that is plugged into a wall  
outlet (hot insertion).  
See “Key Components” earlier in this chapter for additional picture detail.  
To install a single carrier:  
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 radio module and a charged battery pack in  
the handset.  
2 Check to be sure the carrier’s power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before  
continuing.  
3 Remove the plastic cap covering each radio module’s card edge before installing  
the radio modules in the carrier.

Installing a Single Carrier  
Installing a Single Carrier on a Wall  
Install the unit high on a wall, leaving 6 to 12 inches (15.2 to 30.5 cm) between  
the top of the antenna and the ceiling.  
Never install or remove a radio module from a carrier that is plugged into a wall  
outlet (hot insertion).  
See “Key Components” earlier in this chapter for additional picture detail.  
To wall-mount a single carrier:  
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 radio module and a charged battery pack in  
the handset.  
2 Check to be sure the carrier’s power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before  
continuing.  
3 Place the carrier against the wall. Choose a location backed by a wooden stud (if  
unavailable, use toggle bolts instead of the supplied wood screws). Hold the  
carrier straight; use a level if needed. Using a nail or pencil, mark screw locations  
through the four wall-mount holes.  
Start the screws, leaving the screw heads protruding approximately ½ inch  
(12 mm) from the wall. Place the carrier assembly over the screws, then slide it  
downward to lock it into place. Tighten the screws.

Installing a Single Carrier  
Single Carrier Installation Self-Test  
To perform a single carrier self-test:  
1 A single carrier must always function as a control carrier. Wait a few seconds,  
then check the LED(s) on the right side of the carrier:  
~ Model 117A4:  
Compare the OUT OF SYNC and CONTROL/EXPANSION LEDs against  
the top three lines on the “SYNC and CONTROL/EXP LED Codes” label.  
~ Model 117A3:  
The 117A3 has no CONTROL/EXPANSION LED. The OUT OF SYNC  
LED should not be lit.  
2 If the OUT OF SYNC LED is lit, power down, wait at least 15 seconds, and then  
repower the carrier. If the LED is still lit, follow the suggestions in the  
“Installation Problems” section of Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting.” If the LED is  
still lit, call Customer Support as described in the Copyright and Legal Notices at  
the beginning of this book.

Installing Multiple Carriers  
Installing the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone 2  
3 If you are using a Model 117A4 carrier, verify that the carrier’s  
CONTROL/EXPANSION LED is lit and that its color is green. This is correct  
for a single-carrier installation.  
4 Verify that the POWER and PASS LEDs on each radio module are lit. If a radio  
module’s PASS LED does not light, power down the carrier and the module, wait  
15 seconds, and repower the module and then the carrier. If the PASS LED still  
does not light, refer to Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting.”

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 the  
battery pack in the handset is charged.  
Installing Multiple Carriers  
Install each carrier high on a wall, leaving 6 to 12 inches (15.2 to 30.5 cm)  
between the top of the antennas and the ceiling.  
Install each carrier 1 foot (0.3 m) optimally to 4 feet (1.2 m) from its neighboring  
carrier.  
Never install or remove a radio module from a carrier that is plugged into a wall  
outlet (hot insertion).  
See “Key Components” earlier in this chapter for additional picture detail.

2 Installing the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone  
Installing Multiple Carriers  
Multiple-carrier installation involves several stages:  
Mounting the carriers on the wall and cabling them.  
The most efficient method for installing carriers and their radio modules is to perform self-tests after each stage  
of the installation. This enables you to spot any problems at an early stage and to avoid the necessity for  
deinstalling the components in order to solve problems.  
Mounting and Cabling Multiple Carriers  
Perform the tests described in “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 radio module and a charged battery pack  
in the handset.  
If you are installing 117A3 carriers and need to adjust the power setting to avoid interference from other wireless  
products, see “Setting the 117A3 Carrier Power Level.” Also make sure you have set the Control/Expansion DIP  
To mount and connect cable for multiple carriers:  
1 Check to be sure the carrier’s power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before  
continuing.  
2 Choose a location backed by a wooden stud for the carrier (if unavailable, use  
toggle bolts instead of the supplied wood screws).

Note: The leftmost carrier must be the control carrier; all of the others are  
expansion carriers.  
Place the carrier against the wall, leaving enough room to the right for additional  
carrier(s) if applicable. Hold the carrier straight; use a level if needed. Using a  
nail or pencil, mark screw locations through the four wall-mount holes. Start the  
screws, leaving the screw heads protruding approximately ½ inch (12 mm) from  
the wall.  
3 Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for each carrier, leaving 1 foot (0.3 m) optimally to 4  
feet (1.2 m) between carriers.

2 Installing the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone  
Installing Multiple Carriers  
Multiple Carrier Mounting and Cabling Self-Test  
To perform a multiple carrier mounting and cabling self-test:  
1 Wait a few seconds after powering up the carriers, then verify that the red OUT  
OF SYNC LEDs on all carriers are lit. This is normal when no radio modules  
have yet been installed. The CONTROL/EXPANSION LEDs (Model 117A4  
only) should also be lit and blinking:  
~ Model 117A4 control carrier = green blinking  
~ Model 117A4 expansion carrier(s) = green blinking  
A Model 117A3 carrier has no CONTROL/EXPANSION LED, but the DIP  
switch in Slot 4 of the carrier must be set correctly to either Control or Expansion.  
2 The following illustration shows the correct LED status for a five-carrier  
installation with no radio modules installed. This sample installation has four  
117A4 carriers—one acting as the control carrier and the other three acting as  
expansion carriers—and one 117A3 carrier acting as an expansion carrier.

3 At this stage of your installation, verify the LEDs displayed match the third of the  
SYNC and CONTROL/EXP LED Codes label, depending on whether the carrier  
is the control or an expansion carrier.  
4 If the LEDs on your installation do not reflect this pattern, there is probably a  
mistake in the cabling. Power down the carriers and check that you have correctly  
followed Steps 6 through 8 in “Mounting and Cabling Multiple Carriers.” If you

Installing Multiple Carriers  
Installing a Single Radio Module in Each Carrier  
To install a single radio module in each carrier:  
1 Power down the carriers.  
2 Remove the plastic cap covering each radio modules card edge before inserting  
the radio modules into the carriers.  
3 Working from left to right, insert a radio module into the first slot (Slot 1) of each  
carrier; hook each radio module onto the mounting rod. Slowly swing the radio  
modules card edge into the card edge connector on the back of the carrier.  
(Exception: use Slot 6 instead of Slot 1 for a Model 117A3 control carrier.)  
Note: Slot 6 of a Model 117A3 control carrier must always contain a radio  
module to pass the synchronization signal to the next carrier.  
A Model 117A4 carrier does not require Slot 6 to be filled.

Installing Multiple Carriers  
Installing the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone 2  
Installation Self-Test with a Single Radio Module in Each Carrier  
To perform an installation self-test with a single radio module in each carrier:  
1 Wait a few seconds after powering up the carriers, then verify that the carriers’  
OUT OF SYNC LEDs are not lit.  
2 The following illustration shows the correct LED lights for a five-carrier  
installation with one radio module installed in each carrier. This sample  
installation has four 117A4 carriers—one acting as the control carrier and the  
other three acting as expansion carriers—and one 117A3 carrier acting as an  
expansion carrier.  
When correct installation procedures are followed and one radio module is  
present in each carrier, the red OUT OF SYNC LEDs will not be lit on any  
carrier, no matter which model. The other LEDs will be lit as follows:  
~ Model 117A4 control carrier CONTROL/EXPANSION LED = green  
~ Three Model 117A4 expansion carriers CONTROL/EXPANSION LED =  
amber  
~ The radio modules’ PASS and POWER LEDs = green  
The Model 117A3 expansion carrier has no CONTROL/EXPANSION LED, but  
the DIP switch in Slot 4 of the carrier is set to Expansion.

3 To remove the battery pack, slide the spring latch upward (away from the battery  
pack). While holding the latch up, grasp both sides of the battery pack, then  
gently pull the battery pack upward and out.  
Changing the Communications System Setting  
The communications system you use determines what information the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone can  
display and how the phone lines and programmable/intercom/drop buttons are identified. (For the MDW 9031,  
see the appropriate “Button Mapping” topics in the “MDW 9031 Compatibility” section in Chapter 6. For the  
MDW 9031DCP, see the “Button Mapping” topic in the “MDW 9031DCP Compatibility” section in Chapter 6.)  
The MDW 9031 is factory-set to work with the PARTNER communications system. If you are using  
PARTNER as your communications system, skip this section; if you are using a different communications  
system, you will need to change the setting.  
The MDW 9031DCP is factory-set to work with the DEFINITY communications system.  
To change the communications system setting, use the following procedure to enter Local Mode and then Button  
Mapping Mode:  
1 Make sure the handset is turned off.  
2 Press and hold the Select button ( " ) for three seconds.

Battery Charger  
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 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 uninterruptible 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. As with other batteries of this type, burning or puncturing 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.  
Installing the Battery Charger  
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.  
To install the battery charger:  
1 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.  
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.  
3 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.  
4 Place the screw through the wall spacers so that the screw head nests in the  
indentation on the spacer. Start the screws, and screw them in until the wall  
spacers rest against the wall.

Inserting a Battery Pack into the Spare Battery Compartment  
Slide the battery pack (or an optional extended battery pack) into the spare battery compartment until it is firmly  
seated with the back of the battery pack against the back of the spare battery compartment. Do not force the  
battery pack down. The battery pack should slide easily into the slot.  
Correct positioning of the battery pack in the charger is important to ensure proper charging. The bottom end of  
either battery pack also has two small round holes that must align with two guide pins on the bottom of the spare  
battery compartment. When a battery pack is positioned correctly in the spare battery compartment, the SPARE

Line Status Indicators There are 12 status indicators; each one corresponds to a specific outside line or  
programmable/intercom/drop button. (The function of these status indicators varies,  
depending on the communications system you are using—see the Button Mapping  
topic for the appropriate communications system switch in Chapter 6, “MDW  
9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone Compatibility.”) The status indicators show either a  
truncated triangle or a rectangle, signifying the following activity:  
For PARTNER Systems:  
A rectangle (

Range Indicators  
For maximum range and voice quality, always fully extend the antenna before placing  
or answering a call. 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 module. Depending on how far away the  
handset is from the radio module, the signals function as follows:  
The handset emits two beeps and flashes the RANGE indicator continuously.  
Out of optimal 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.  
The handset emits five sets of beeps and displays the RANGE indicator.  
Loss of communication link. You have walked into an area that is out of the  
operating range of the radio module. You must bring the handset within range of  
the radio module within several seconds or the handset will turn off. If the handset  
turns off, it appears that your call was disconnected; however, it was only placed  
on Hold. To talk with your party, move back toward the radio module, press  
O, then proceed as you would for any call placed on Hold.  
When you try to make a call, the handset emits two beeps and flashes the  
RANGE indicator twice; then the handset automatically turns off.  
Cannot establish communication link. You are completely out of range of the  
radio module. To make the call, move back towards the radio module and try  
again.  
Refer to Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting,” for additional information about out-of-  
range conditions.

Low Battery Indicator  
The standard battery pack has approximately three hours of continuous talk time after  
being fully charged. The optional extended battery pack has approximately 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 the Battery icon in 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 off, and recharge the battery pack, or  
If you have a charged spare battery pack, place your call on Hold and replace the  
handset battery pack with the spare battery pack. Wait 6 to 10 seconds, then turn  
the handset on and proceed as you would for any call placed on Hold.  
Note: When the battery power is low, the two beeps will sound each time either  
O button is pressed until either the battery 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  
that you can swap battery packs or pick up the call on another telephone.  
Volume Control  
To increase or decrease the volume of the handset alerter or the receiver (earpiece):  
Alerter: Press the “+” or the “-” button while the MDW 9031/9031DCP is awake  
but turned off. If the display is dark (the phone is in “sleep” mode), press " to

Line Preselection  
Line Preselection lets you choose the line or button you want to use before turning the  
handset on. For example, suppose your phone is ringing but you want to pick up a call  
that is holding on another line instead of the ringing call. In normal operation, the  
communications system automatically connects you to the ringing line as soon as you  
turn on the handset. With Line Preselection enabled, you can select the line you want  
to connect to before turning on the handset.  
Notes: Enabling Line Preselection lets the user retrieve both lines of display by  
pressing the Column button programmed for SCROLL, without turning  
the handset “on.”  
Under certain conditions, the communications system tries to turn on a  
speaker; for example, if you use Line Preselection to select a button  
programmed for speed-dialing. Since the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket  
Phone has no speaker, the system causes the ON icon in the handset  
display to flutter, and the handset emits a continuous double beep. You  
must press O to complete the connection.  
When Line Preselection is enabled, you do not have to use it; however  
you cannot use it unless it is enabled.  
To enable Line Preselection, use the following procedure:

Battery Charger Features  
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.  
The handset cradle charges a battery pack in the handset.  
The REFRESH button, when pressed, refreshes the handset battery pack in the  
handset cradle by fully discharging the battery pack before recharging it.  
The REFRESH LED and the HANDSET LED light when the REFRESH  
button is pressed and stay lit until the battery pack finishes discharging.  
The HANDSET LED, when lit, indicates that the handset battery pack is installed  
in the handset, and the handset is in the handset cradle.  
The SPARE LED, when lit, indicates that a battery pack is in the spare battery  
compartment.  
Note: Before you use the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone handset for the  
first time, the battery pack must be charged.

Note: If either the SPARE LED or the HANDSET LED is flashing red, both battery packs must be  
removed from the charger to clear the flashing-red condition. Address the possible problems  
for one battery pack at a time to determine whether one is bad.  
Note: The SPARE LED may turn amber instead of red when jostled in the spare battery charging  
compartment. Remove the battery then place it back into the charger to clear the condition.  
Extending Battery Life  
The battery charger will charge a battery pack in the handset if you simply insert the handset in the battery  
chargers handset cradle; however, the Refresh process fully discharges the battery pack before recharging it,  
thereby ensuring the best possible charge and the longest talk time.  
“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 9031/9031DCP 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 using a Model 40B charger, depending on how much  
charge is left in the battery pack when you insert it into the charger and press the REFRESH button:

Battery Charger  
Using the MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone 3  
Note that your handset will consume power both during talk time (when the handset is turned on) and during  
standby time (when the handset is turned off, but out of the battery charger). The following chart illustrates  
typical power usage:

Approximate Approximate  
Type

StandardBattery 3 hours

22 hours  
Extended  
8 hours  
72 hours  
Battery Pack  
If the new battery does not give you full talk time as shown in the table above, refresh the battery several times  
until the full talk time returns.  
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.  
It is 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.  
The following steps will ensure an uninterrupted supply of power to your MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone:  
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 them between the handset and the spare  
battery compartment at least once a week, so 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.)  
The average battery life for both the standard and the extended battery packs is  
approximately one year, assuming that the battery is discharged and charged once  
a day. If the battery packs are discharged and charged twice a day, the life  
expectancy is approximately six months.  
Note: 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.

5 If you removed a radio module from Slot 6 of an 117A3 control carrier, you must  
insert another radio module into this slot. Failure to do so will cause the carriers  
to be unsynchronized.  
6 Repower the carrier. If you have multiple carriers, repower them in order from  
left to right, as shown below:

one, working from right to left, until the  
LED conditions revert back to one of the  
following:  
With no radio modules in the carriers:  
~ OUT OF SYNC = all lit  
~ CONTROL/EXPANSION =  
all blinking (green)  
or  
With one or more radio modules in each  
carrier:  
~ OUT OF SYNC = not lit  
~ CONTROL/EXPANSION = all lit  
~ Control carrier = green  
~ Expansion carrier(s) = amber  
The last radio module that you removed  
before the lights reverted to the proper  
display is the malfunctioning one.

2 Replace the malfunctioning radio  
module with a good one.  
3 Repower the carriers again, in order  
from left to right, to verify that the  
replacement module functions properly.

described in Step 5, the radio module is  
functioning as it should.  
4 Power down the carriers again.  
5 Reinsert the remaining radio modules  
into their slots.  
6 Repower the carriers again, in order  
from left to right.

Programming Features for PARTNER, MERLIN, and MERLIN LEGEND Systems  
On all PARTNER, MERLIN, and MERLIN LEGEND systems, you can assign a feature to an available button (a  
button that does not have a line or another feature assigned to it):  
1 To enter programming mode, turn on the handset, press i, then press /  
followed by 0 0.  
2 Press the Select button ( " ) to move the Selection rectangle to the row of line  
indicators containing the available button.  
3 Press the Column button ( ' ) under the button that you want.  
4 Program the feature (using the procedure described in the manual for your  
PARTNER, MERLIN, or MERLIN LEGEND Communications Systems).  
Note: Some features provide a visual indication in the handset display that the  
feature is turned on. Be aware that if you turn off the handset while using  
one of these features, you may forget that the feature is on. To verify the  
status of such a feature, you can simply press the " button to “wake up”  
the phone and activate the display.  
5 To exit programming mode, press / followed by 0 0 or turn off the  
handset.  
Note: The above instructions do not apply to System 25, System 75, System 85,  
and DEFINITY Systems, because in those systems, features are assigned  
by the System Administrator.  
Communications System Compatibility  
This section describes some communications system-dependent programming to help you optimize the  
performance of your MDW 9031 Pocket Phone. It also describes how the buttons on a wired phone for your  
communications system map to the buttons on your MDW 9031. Turn to the information appropriate to your

The MDW 9031 does not have a speaker; therefore, it does not support voice announce/page and call groups.  
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 9031 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 9031 has no speaker function, it should not be assigned to a  
paging group.

MDW 9031 Compatibility  
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 9031 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.  
Note: MERLIN LEGEND does not support Caller ID and some other Display  
features to Analog/Hybrid terminals, such as the MDW 9031.

(Install an external audible alert for  
these extensions.)  
Note: For MERLIN LEGEND Systems that use pooled lines, set the Line  
Ringing options as described in the above table, if more than six MDW  
9031 Pocket Phone handsets have the same pooled line appearance. The  
above Line Ringing options are not necessary for MERLIN LEGEND  
Systems that use the TransTalk MDW 9031 Pocket Phones as PBX  
extensions; these systems can support up to five carriers.  
System 25, System 75, This phone must be administered as a BIS-22D MERLIN set (Apparatus Code  
System 85, and  
DEFINITY Systems  
7315H) for the following systems:  
System 25

6 MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone Compatibility  
MDW 9031 Compatibility  
Consult your System Administration manuals for this compatibility.  
If your system does not support the items above, consult the System  
Administration manual for the BIS-10 phone (Apparatus Code 7303S).  
Accessing Certain Voice Mail Systems with a DEFINITY System  
After dialing into some voice mail systems (for example, Octel 200/250,  
300/350), the non-DCP MDW 9031 Pocket Phone may not provide touch  
tones in order to access the voice mail system prompts. If you experience  
this problem after dialing into your voice mail system, press the /  
button twice. After pressing the / button twice, your Pocket Phone  
will generate touch tones and you will be able to navigate within your  
voice mail system. When you end your call to your voice mail system, or  
press any non-dialpad button on your Pocket Phone (that is, Conf, Trans,  
Hold, Redial, Mute), your MDW 9031 will stop generating touch tones  
behind the voice mail system. You will need to re-enter / whenever  
you dial into these voice mail systems or after you have pressed a non-  
dialpad button.  
To connect the communications system switch and the MDW 9031 Pocket Phone,  
use the following:  
~ An ANN17B Hybrid pack in conjunction with a DS-1 carrier for older  
communications system switches that do not accommodate Universal modules  
(System 85 -R2V1, R2V2, R2V3, and R2V4)  
~ Either a TN762B Hybrid pack or a ZTN79 ATL pack for System 25  
~ A TN762B Hybrid pack for newer communications system switches that  
accommodate Universal modules:  
System 75—R1V1, R1V2, and R1V3  
DEFINITY G1 (R1V4)  
DEFINITY G1 (R1V5)  
DEFINITY G3 Version 1.1 and Version 2  
DEFINITY G3 Version 3  
~ Either a TN762B (in a universal mod carrier) or an ANN17B (in a traditional  
mod carrier) Hybrid pack for DEFINITY G2 (G2.1 and G2.2), depending upon  
the actual hardware configuration.  
Note: For DEFINITY G2.1 and G2.2, General Terminal Administration (GTA)  
can be used to set up “custom” set types so that administration can be  
done using that custom set type.  
System 25 users cannot program Recall for use with systems such as Centrex.  
Only the System Administrator can assign features. Use the following guidelines:  
~ Do not assign the following features: Auto Answer, Inspect, Directory, Next,  
Local, Call, and Manual Callback Queuing.  
~ If programming the Flex DSS or Repertory Dial feature, dial the number to be  
recorded and push the button you are assigning to the feature. You will hear  
three short beeps and a dial tone to confirm programming.

A Warranty and Repair Information  
Lucent Technologies Limited Warranty and Limitation of  
Liability  
Lucent Technologies warrants to you, the customer, that your wireless telephone system will be in good working  
order on the date Lucent Technologies or its Authorized Dealer delivers or installs the system, whichever is later  
(“Warranty Date”). If you notify Lucent Technologies or its Authorized Dealer within one year of the Warranty  
Date that your system is not in good working order, Lucent Technologies will without charge to you, repair or  
replace, at its option, the system components that are not in good working order. Repair or replacement parts may  
be new or refurbished and will be provided on an exchange basis. If Lucent Technologies determines that your  
system cannot be repaired or replaced, Lucent Technologies will remove the system and, at your option, refund  
the purchase price of your system or apply the purchase price towards the purchase of another Lucent  
Technologies system.  
If you purchased your system directly from Lucent Technologies, Lucent Technologies will perform warranty  
repair in accordance with the terms and conditions of the specific type of Lucent Technologies maintenance  
coverage you selected. A written explanation of Lucent Technologies types of maintenance coverage may be  
obtained from Lucent Technologies by calling 1-800-247-7000 (in the continental U.S. only). If you purchased  
your system from a Lucent Technologies Authorized Dealer, contact your dealer for the details of the  
maintenance plan applicable to your system.  
This Lucent Technologies limited warranty covers damage to the system caused by power surges. Unless  
otherwise expressly agreed to in a written agreement signed by Lucent Technologies, Lucent Technologies will  
not be responsible under this limited warranty for damages resulting from:  
Failure to follow Lucent Technologies installation, operation, or maintenance  
instructions;  
Unauthorized system modification, movement, or alteration;  
Unauthorized use of common carrier communication services accessed through  
the system;  
Abuse, misuse, or negligent acts or omissions of the customer and persons under  
the customer’s control; or  
Acts of third parties and acts of God. LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES  
OBLIGATION TO REPAIR, REPLACE, OR REFUND, AS SET FORTH  
ABOVE, IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.  
EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH ABOVE, LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES, ITS AFFILIATES,  
SUPPLIERS, AND DEALERS MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND  
SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A  
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

A Warranty and Repair Information  
Repair Information  
Limitation of Liability  
Except as provided below, the liability of Lucent Technologies and its affiliates and suppliers for any claims,  
losses, damages, or expenses from any cause whatsoever (including acts or omissions of third parties),  
regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the lesser of: (1) the  
direct damages proven; or (2) the repair cost, replacement cost, license fee, annual rental charge, or purchase  
price, as the case may be, of the equipment that directly gives rise to the claim. Except as provided below, Lucent  
Technologies and its affiliates and suppliers shall not be liable for any incidental, special, reliance,  
consequential, or indirect loss or damage incurred in connection with the equipment. As used in this paragraph,  
consequential damages include, but are not limited to, the following: lost profits, lost revenues, and losses  
arising out of unauthorized use (or charges for such use) of common carrier telecommunications services or  
facilities accessed through or connected to the equipment. For personal injury caused by Lucent Technologies  
negligence, Lucent Technologies liability shall be limited to proven damages to person. No action or proceeding  
against Lucent Technologies or its affiliates or suppliers may be commenced more than twenty four (24) months  
after the cause of action accrues. THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL SURVIVE FAILURE OF AN EXCLUSIVE  
REMEDY.  
Repair Information  
Outside the continental U.S., contact your Lucent Technologies Representative or local Authorized Dealer for  
warranty and repair information applicable to your system.  
In-Warranty Repairs  
If you purchased or leased your system directly from Lucent Technologies, Lucent Technologies will repair it  
free of charge during the one-year warranty period. Simply call for Customer Support as instructed in the  
Copyright and Legal Notices at the beginning of this book.  
Business-Day service is standard during the warranty period. Business-Day service is performed during normal  
business hours. (Around-the-Clock service is not available for phones.)  
If you purchased or leased your system through a Lucent Technologies Authorized Dealer, contact your dealer  
for repairs.  
Post-Warranty Repairs  
If you purchased the system from Lucent Technologies and you have a post-warranty service contract, Lucent  
Technologies service is provided under the terms of that contract.  
To significantly reduce unexpected repair costs after the warranty period, you can purchase a post-warranty  
service contract from Lucent Technologies. If you do not have a contract, Lucent Technologies service is  
provided on a time-and-materials basis by calling for customer support as instructed on the inside front cover of  
this book. A contract provides to you, within the applicable coverage period and response times, service calls  
with no charge for parts and labor on covered repairs. To order a post-warranty service contract, call  
1-800-247-7000 (in the continental U.S. only).

position at least one of the screw holes over a wall stud.  
3 Mark the wall.  
4 Position a wall spacer on each of the two wood screws provided,  
and insert the screws in the wall as far as they will go at the places  
you marked.  
Note: If you cannot locate a wall stud for one of the screws, use  
molly bolts or another type of hollow-wall fastener. Be  
sure to place the wall spacers on the screws before  
inserting them permanently.
