Positioning a Single Radio Module or Carrier(s)
All of your MDW 9010 handsets and their corresponding radio modules operate within a
single zone of coverage:
The range depends on your particular operating environment. For indoor use, intervening
walls will reduce the phone's range. Try to stay away from concentrations of structural
metal, such as steel and aluminum, and reinforced concrete.
IMPORTANT:
The MDW 9010 phone has a built-in testing feature that you can use before
installation to help determine proper placement of the radio module. To perform
the test, all you need is an electrical outlet for the radio module and a charged
battery pack in the handset (you do not need a communications system switch/
control unit). Refer to "Wireless Test Mode" later in this chapter for details.
General Positioning Rules
Before you install the radio module or carrier(s), note the following rules regarding location
and use. Failure to follow these rules will result in poor performance of your MDW
9010 phone system.
Position the radio module or carrier(s) in a central location, relative to the handset(s)
usage area. For convenience, you may want to place the radio module or carrier(s) in
the same room, and on the same wall, as your communications system switch/control
unit. If your switch/control unit is located in a remote location, you may have to run a
telephone line cord from your switch/control unit to the centrally positioned radio module
or carrier(s). The maximum distance is 1,000 feet (333 m) of 26-gauge cable.
