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.
For ordering information, see Ordering Replacement and Optional Parts in Chapter 4.

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 EnergyThe 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 Pacemakers
!CAUTION:
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 
CompatibilityMost 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, 
PARTNER Plus, PARTNER II, PARTNER Advanced Communications 
System, MERLIN, MERLIN Plus, MERLIN II, MERLIN LEGEND, System 25, 
System 75, System 85, and DEFINITY Communications Systems only.

•This product uses a 3-prong plug. Such plugs are designed for your safety. Do not 
attempt to defeat this purpose. If your wall outlet will not accept the plug, the 
outlet should be replaced by an electrician.
WARNING:!
Failure to properly ground this product will result in a risk of electrical 
shock, which can cause serious personal injury. This product requires a 
3-prong AC outlet for safe operation. You should have your outlet 
checked by a qualified electrician (see “AC Outlet Check” below) before 
connecting this equipment. 
AC Outlet Check
Have a qualified electrician check all of the outlets into which the MDW 9031/9031DCP radio modules or 
carriers, as well as the communications system switch/control unit, will be plugged. The electrician should check 
that the hot, neutral, and ground wires are properly connected to the outlet by using a circuit tester.
The outlet can also be tested using a voltmeter to take the measurements as shown:
If the outlet does not meet the electrical specifications for grounded outlets, your MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket 
Phone may not operate properly.
Note:If there is no current to the outlet or the voltages are not correct, the 
problem should be corrected by a qualified electrician.
