About the MDW 9040 Pocket Phone in a Dual Zone
Configuration
The MDW 9040 Pocket Phone allows you to link up with either of two different radio modules in a dual zone
configuration. This dual zone capability expands the coverage area in which you are able to make and answer
calls. Dual zone coverage allows you to make and answer calls using the same MDW 9040 Pocket Phone for
either radio module in Zone 1 or Zone 2. Dual zone installations require 2 station ports, one for each radio
module. See “
Installing Multiple Radio Modules in a Dual Zone Configuration
for more
information.
Privacy Information
The MDW 9040 Pocket Phone is designed to protect the privacy and security of your voice conversation. The
phone uses continuously changing radio frequencies and digital encoding techniques to make it impossible for
eavesdropping to occur through the use of commercially available analog radio scanners.
Where Can You Use Your Pocket Phone?
The MDW 9040 Pocket Phone can be used in most typical office buildings, warehouses, factories, malls, and
even outdoor areas such as loading docks. The location of the Dual Radio Module greatly affects the
performance of the MDW 9040. Read the “
Positioning a Dual Radio Module
to determine
the best place to install the radio module. Repeat the tests several times with the radio module positioned in a
different location each time. If you are using an optional auxiliary power supply, the MDW 9040 Pocket Phone
has a built-in testing feature that you can use before final installation (station wiring run) to help determine
proper placement of the radio module. To perform the tests, you need an electrical outlet for the radio module, a
14 foot (4.2 m) Station Line Cord (provided) with the auxiliary power supply, and a charged battery pack in the
handset (you do not need a communications system switch or control unit). The tests are described in “
