Wireless Test Mode
You can determine sound clarity, signal strength, and voice quality using Wireless Test Mode.
You should use Wireless Test Mode to help you locate the best place to install the radio module(s) to optimize the performance of your MDW 9030P Pocketphone. Repeat the tests several times, with the radio module positioned in a different location each time.
By performing the tests as you walk around the area in which the handset will be used, you can determine the handset’s range and the voice quality throughout the area of coverage. To perform the tests, all you need is an electrical outlet for the radio module and a charged battery pack in the handset. You can perform the tests multiple times and in any order; and you can exit at any time by pressing O.
