•The second and third rows of the display show the information you would see
on the top line (and second line if provided by the system to which you are
connected) of a wired system phone’s display. 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.
Note: When the MDW 9040 is shipped from the factory, it is set for a 2-line
display (see “Figure 15: The MDW 9040 Display” on the previous page).
However, the display length can be changed to 1-line if so desired (see
“Figure 17: Using the Select-Row and Column Buttons Together” on the
next page). If you choose 1-line of information for your display, four
additional programmable buttons appear on the third line of the display.
•The fourth and fifth rows on the display show the line or
programmable/intercom/drop buttons. Line Status indicators, such as a triangle or
a rectangle next to the line you are using or to which you will be connected once
you turn on the phone are discussed in “Line Status Indicators” in the next
section. See Chapter 6, “MDW 9040 Pocket Phone Compatibility” for more
information about Button Mapping.
Line Status Indicators There are up to 12 status indicators (A through D, 1 through 8, see Figure 15). Each
one corresponds to a specific outside or intercom line, recall and/or drop button and
programmable buttons. (The function of th ese status indicators varies, depending on
the communications system you are using—see the Button Mapping topic in Chapter
6, “MDW 9040 Pocket Phone Compatibility” for the appropriate communications
system switch.) The status indicators show either a triangle ( ) or a rectangle ( ),
signifying the following activity:
For PARTNER Systems:
A triangle ( ) showing line status is the equivalent of a green LED on a wired system
phone.
A rectangle ( ) showing line status is the equivalent of a red LED on a wired system
phone.
For all other Systems:
A rectangle ( ) showing line status is the equivalent of a green LED on a wired
system phone.
A triangle ( ) showing line status is the equivalent of a red LED on a wired system
phone.
The Select-Row Button
and the Column
Buttons
The MDW 9040 Pocket Phone can display the status of up to 12
lines/intercom/programmable buttons, but the number of lines supported by
compatible communications system switches varies.
Use the Select-Row ( ) button to move the arrow on the right side of the display
up one row. Each time you press the Select-Row ( ) button, the arrow moves to
another row (cycling through the three rows in turn, and then returning to the bottom
row).
