The MDW 9031DCP Wireless Pocket Phone
Issue 11 December 1999
18-31
■ 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 of either side of, and within
6-12 feet above, a properly grounded 3-prong electrical outlet that is not
controlled by an on/off switch.
■ For remote locations, an individual radio module can be installed in that
area and attached via telephone line cord to the phone system. IROBs
must be used for out-of-building installations.
!
CAUTION:
A radio module cannot be installed outdoors.
■ The radio module should be placed high on the wall for optimum voice
quality and range. Allow at least 1 foot of space between the top of the
antenna on the radio module(s) and the ceiling.
■ When installing the MDW 9031DCP Dual Zone Pocket Phone in the same
building, you should limit how much zone overlap there is between radio
module 1 and radio module 2. NO OVERLAP is ideal; minimal overlap
between zones is also recommended.
If there is an extensive overlap condition, there will be interference
between the radio modules, causing poor voice quality as well as rendering
the handset inoperable. In the latter case, the RANGE icon will appear in
the handset display.
Follow these additional rules for installing one or more carriers:
■ Install carrier(s) within 15 feet of either side of, and within 6 to 8 feet 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 for 1 or 2 carriers or 10 feet for 3 carriers.
■ When installing multiple carriers:
— Install multiple carriers 1 foot optimally to 4 feet apart.
— Install multiple carriers on the same horizontal axis (that is, 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.
