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.
2  To wall-mount, place the battery charger’s wall-mounting template (located on 
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.

5  Insert the battery charger’s power cord/AC adapter into the battery charger. If you 
are desk-mounting the battery charger, skip to Step 7.
6  Place the keyhole-shaped openings in the back of the battery charger over the 
screw heads and wall spacers, then slide the battery charger downward into the 
groove in the wall spacers to lock it into place.
7  Plug the battery charger’s power cord/AC adapter into a properly grounded,
3-prong wall outlet that is not controlled by an on/off switch.

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 
LED on the front of the battery charger lights.
The spare battery compartment has a vertical ridge on each side that serves as a “guide rail” for positioning the 
standard battery pack.

Inserting the Handset into the Battery Charger’s Handset Cradle
Correct positioning of the handset in the charger is important to ensure proper charging:
1  Position the handset (with either battery pack attached) so that the two small 
round holes in the bottom of the handset fit over the two guide pins on the bottom 
of the handset cradle.
2  Rock the handset back into the cradle until it is firmly seated with the back of the 
handset battery pack against the back of the handset cradle.
When the handset has been inserted correctly, the following occur:
•The HANDSET LED lights.
•If the handset was turned on, the ON icon in the display is no longer visible.
•Any call that was in progress is terminated.
•After 15 seconds, the handset enters the energy-saving “sleep” mode.
Removing the Handset from the Handset Cradle
To remove the handset from the handset cradle, lift it out.

Handset
The MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone supports normal operation of all of the features of the switch as far as is 
practical within the limitations of its reduced size and power and the nature of wireless operation. There are very 
few differences in operation between the wireless MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone and a wired deskset.
This chapter describes the handset and how to use it. It also explains how to use a headset.

Column and Select Buttons
The MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone can display the status of up to 10 lines/intercom/programmable 
buttons, but the number of lines supported by compatible communications system switches varies. 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 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.
Note:If you have a communications system other than PARTNER, the line you 
select is indicated by a small rectangle instead of the triangle, as shown 
below:
See “Manually Selecting a Line or Programmed Button” and “Preselecting a Line” later in this chapter for more 
information about the Column and Select buttons.

Handset Display (with Backlighting)
The MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone display has one 16-alphanumeric-character line and four lines of icons 
to provide you with status information. The display provides Backlighting (a programmable option) either when 
the handset is turned on or when the    button is pressed. See “Changing the Handset Setting.”later in this 
chapter. The Backlighting lasts for 10 seconds, if no other button is pressed when the handset is turned on.
Note:This illustration is intended to show you what all of the indicators look 
like, but you will never see all of the line status indicators illuminated at 
once.
1  This line of the display gives you the information you would see on a wired 
system phone’s display, except that the time is not provided. The information 
varies according to which communications system you are using. For example, 
the display may show the current date, the number you are calling, or Caller ID 
information (if the system supports this feature). This display line is also used for 
feedback when testing and programming the handset. See “Display Messages” 
later in this chapter for more information about messages. 
2  MSG icon indicates that you have a message.
3  RANGE icon indicates that the handset is out of range or almost out of range. 
The handset also beeps. For more information, see “Range Indicators” later in this 
chapter.
4  ON icon indicates that the handset has been turned on by pressing O.
5  Battery icon flashes to indicate a low battery condition. The handset also emits 2 
beeps. For more information, see “Low Battery Indicator” later in this chapter.
6  No Ring icon indicates that the alerter is disabled. If the alerter is enabled, no 
icon is displayed.
7  MUTE icon indicates that the handset microphone was turned off by pressing 
M.
8  Line Status Indicators show the status of line or programmable/intercom/drop 
buttons. See Chapter 6 for button-mapping information. Also see “Line Status 
Indicators” later in this chapter.
9  Selection rectangle indicates the active row for line or 
programmable/intercom/drop button selection. See “Column and Select Buttons” 
earlier in this chapter.
