Column and Select Buttons
The MDW 9030P Pocketphone can display the status of up to 12 lines or programmable/
intercom/drop buttons; however, it has only 4 selection buttons (the Column buttons).  The
Select button (
) is used in conjunction with the Column buttons () to increase the
available selections to 12.  Each Column button (
) affects one of the three lines or
programmable/intercom/drop buttons directly above it, as shown in the illustration below.
Each time you press the Select button (
), the Selection rectangle moves to another row
(cycling through the three rows in turn).  The Column buttons (
) each represent one of
the four lines or programmable/intercom/drop buttons in the row enclosed by the Selec-
tion rectangle.
Selection rectangle
For example, suppose your handset shows the Selection rectangle around the middle row
of lines.  If you press the second Column button from the left (shaded in the illustration
above), you select Line 2, as indicated by the truncated triangle in the illustration.

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 Pocketphone.
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:
nThe 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 operat-
ing 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.
nThe 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 towards the radio module, press 
O, then proceed as you would
for any call placed on Hold.
nWhen 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 condi-
tions.
Low Battery Indicator Low Battery IndicatorLow Battery Indicator Low Battery Indicator
Low Battery Indicator
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 5 minutes or
less of talk time left. At this point, you can either:
nComplete your call, turn the handset off, and recharge the battery pack, or
nIf 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: NOTE:NOTE: NOTE:
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.
