System Overview

If the system must be sent in for any reason and you do not use the supplied packing material, you WILL be charged for the replacement of this material. This packing material has been designed to give the system maximum protection during the shipping process.

Introduction

The BA-1000 is an automatic telecommunications dialing system. A list of phone numbers, or a range of phone numbers, is entered into the system and an outgoing message is recorded. The system then dials each number. When the call is answered, the BA-1000 carries on a two-way conversation, asks questions, and records the answers.
When the call is completed, the system immediately dials the next programmed number automatically. The BA-1000 can also be used in the
Order Taking

Clock Controlled

The BA-1000 is completely clock controlled. The system will only dial when you want it to. A different time period can be selected for each day of the week. The system can be programmed to dial only on selected days if desired. Set the clock to dial from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. then let it run. The BA­1000 can keep calling people day after day, week after week. The BA-1000 is engineered for continuous operation.
The BA-1000 also has an important safety feature which prevents the system from dialing past 9:00 p.m. and before 9:00 a.m. This will prevent the system from calling potential prospects too late or too early in the day.
mode to answer incoming calls.

Sequential Dialing

You simply enter the starting and ending number and the unit will dial all of the numbers in between. You may also omit blocks of numbers that you do not wish to dial. This allows you to skip over unused numbers in your exchange. 10,000 numbers can be programmed to dial in less than 20 seconds. The system can hold up to 100,000 phone numbers for a single dialing session.

Answer Mode

In answer mode the BA-1000 will answer incoming calls only. It can be setup to ask a series of questions and record the responses. The time and the day of each call is recorded after each message. The unit also features an adjustable ring delay that allows the user to control when the unit will answer the telephone. A manual mode is also provided in this mode so that the unit can be operated in a manual soliciting mode.

15 Minute Busy Re-Dials

If a number is number to the busy dial list and, after 15 minutes, go through and retry all the

Multi-File Support

The system supports 10 dialing files; each dialing file can hold up to 100,000 phone numbers.

No Dial List Support

The BA-1000 supports a 100,000 number, editable, DO NOT DIAL list that the unit cross references against the dialing list to be sure it doesn’t dial people it shouldn’t.

Attended Dialing

The system normally works without an operator present; but it can alert an operator when the called party wants to talk with him. The unit can alert the operator before it plays the message, after it plays the message, both before and after playing the message and in an on-demand basis. The operator can decide whether to talk with the person or go on to the next call.
