Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new TransTalk™ 9000 Digital
Wireless System MDW 9000 Wireless Telephone. MDW stands for
Multi-line Digital Wireless. This product was designed to AT&T's high
standards for innovation, reliability, and convenience.
The phone is wireless; the telephone line cord to the phone was
eliminated. This provides flexibility, so that you may not require
additional telephone wiring when moving into a new building, or
changing the phone’s location in an existing building. The phone
can be located as required. All you need is an electrical outlet, and a
test check to make sure that the handset is in range of its matching
radio module.
The phone is portable, so there is no handset cord. This portability
enables you to move about your work area or home with freedom,
without giving up the features of a corded phone.
The handset communicates through a matching radio module, not 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 to identify the matching pair.
AT&T provides built-in and secure automatic registration between the
handset and radio module, so that your system is ready to use after
powering up.
A carrier assembly (also known as a backplane) is required when
between 2 and 6 wireless phones are used within the same area
of coverage. This unit synchronizes the radio signals and ensures
proper operation of multiple phones. The radio modules are placed
in the carrier assembly.
As a special feature, a spare battery pack can be stored in the battery
charger, allowing for extended phone usage. For convenience, a head-
set can be connected to the phone to allow hands-free conversation.
This booklet describes MDW 9000 telephone installation. Also
included with the phone is a Quick Reference that contains informa-
tion about displays, controls, compatibility, and troubleshooting.
