System Overview
How many times have you lost business
because you were not available when your customer
needed you? The BA-1000-A allows you to keep in
touch with your customers no matter where you are.
You can leave your office knowing that, while
you're out, you will be immediately notified if your
customers need you, so you can respond quickly.
Best of all, the BA-1000-A works 24 hours a day.
Just think of the extra freedom you can enjoy
knowing that, no matter where you go, your
customers can always reach you when they need
you.
The BA-1000-A is the ultimate answering
system. It answers all of your calls, plays out your
own prerecorded message, records your customers
messages, and determines if the call is urgent. If the
BA-1000-A detects the call as urgent, it will
immediately hang up and start searching for you. It
will call you at home, if not there it will call you on
your cell phone, then on your pager. If it can't locate
you it can be programmed to call your business
partner at home, then on his cell phone. The BA1000-A will keep calling until the urgent message is
retrieved or until it has called all of the numbers 20
times each, whichever comes first. Once the system
contacts you, it says; "I have an urgent message
from your office. Enter the access code". Once
you enter the access code, the BA-1000-A will play
the urgent message to you. Once the urgent message
is received, you call your customer and the cycle is
complete.
If you are wearing a pager, you will receive a
BEEP indicating that an important message is
waiting on your BA-1000-A machine. You then
simply call your system, enter the access code, and
retrieve your messages over the phone. The BA1000-A will automatically reset when you access
your messages. If you happen to miss an alert call
because you are in a bad reception area, don't worry;
the BA-1000-A will automatically re-dial all of the
numbers 20 times before it resets. With the BA1000-A you will be able to return customer calls
within as little as two minutes.
NOTE: These instructions are written for
the DEFAULT setup parameters in the BA-1000A. The setup mode allows many of the features of
the BA-1000-A to be customized for your specific
! Save Your Packing
You MUST save ALL packing material
supplied with this unit. 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.
While every precaution has been taken in
preparation of this OPERATION MANUAL, the
manufacturer does not assume any liability for errors
or omissions. The manufacturer reserves the right to
make changes in the specifications of this unit at any
time without notice.
! System Features
Easy to use
Single button controls and voice instructions in
remote playback.
Digitized Audio
Fully Digitized audio for both Incoming and
Outgoing audio. The messages are stored on a
standard ZIP 100 disk. These disks are readily
available at all stores that carry computer supplies.
Variable Size Outgoing Message
The BA-1000A allows variable outgoing
messages to be recorded from 4 seconds to 3 hours
in length.
Three Hours of Messages
Can hold up to three hours of audio messages.
Optionally can be expanded to over eight hours with
a ZIP 250 drive.
Time Stamp
The Date and Time stamp displays the date and
time that each call was received during local
playback. In remote playback, Date and Time are
transmitted in voice.
Version 4.00 Page 5
Three Counters
• 3 – CYCLE
New Message Counter, Saved Message Counter
and a hidden Grand Total Counter.
Simple Playback
Single button local Playback for new messages.
Playback Features
Skip, Save, Erase, and Re-play, allows fast
efficient playback of messages, both locally and
remotely. Auto Stop between each message
provides needed time to make necessary notes. Last
message audio prompt for easy identification of last
message.
4 Selectable Urgent Call Modes
Selectable URGENT CALL MODES allow
immediate notification of ONLY your calls that
need immediate attention. The BA-1000-A can call
you on your home phone, your cell phone or even on
your pager. The BA-1000-A is persistent. It knows
that you need to be notified and it keeps working
until the message is retrieved. The unit has
adjustable redials and adjustable time between calls.
• 0 - EVERY VOICE MESSAGE
The BA-1000-A will notify you if any valid
voice message is left. It will not notify you if no
message is left. The minimum length that the
message must be is user programmable from 1 to 60
seconds.
• 1 – TONE
In this mode, the BA-1000-A will only notify
you if the caller presses a touch tone EIGHT
anytime during his/her message. This way the caller
can determine if the call requires immediate
attention or not.
This mode works the same as the TONE mode,
except that the starting alert notification number is
controlled by the START GROUP parameter, in the
SETUP mode.
Voice Mail Box Mode
This mode allows the BA-1000-A to operate in
a true voice mail box mode with up to 16 mail
boxes. Each mail box has its own 4 digit pin for
accessing the messages and for remote
programming. Each mail box can handle up to 8
urgent alert telephone numbers.
Voice Confirmation
When the BA-1000-A has detected an urgent
call, it will confirm the URGENT CALL, to the
calling party, by saying: "You'll be called as soon
as possible. Please hang up now".
Dialing Sequence Reset
The BA-1000-A can be set up to keep calling
you until the URGENT MESSAGE has been
received. When the BA-1000-A calls you at home
or on your cell phone, it will wait until the phone is
answered, then it will play the following message:
"I have an URGENT message from your office.
Enter the ACCESS CODE." When the access code
is entered, the message will be played back and the
dialing sequence will be reset.
If the BA-1000-A is calling your pager, it will
notify you by displaying a pre-programmed, user
selectable number. In this case the user must call the
BA-1000-A and, during the announcement, enter the
access code. The URGENT message will be played
back, once the ACCESS code is entered, and the
dialing sequence is reset.
Remote Control Features
• 2 – ON CALL
In this mode, the calling party presses a touch
tone 8888, then the group defined by the START
GROUP parameter, in SETUP mode, will determine
the group to be alerted (the system will only dial the
numbers within that group, the ON Call group). The
BA-1000-A can store up to eight different
notification telephone numbers for each group with
up to 16 different groups.

The SYSTEM and the POWER CUBE should
be located in a well ventilated area.
! Power
The SYSTEM can be used on a three-prong
grounded 110VAC power outlet. This is needed for
proper protection of the unit's circuitry. Power
circuits that are used for any heavy equipment such
as large freezers, blowers, heaters, copiers, or any
electrical equipment that contains large motors,
should be avoided. Heavy electrical equipment can
cause power glitches over the power line which
could interfere with the operation of the system. If
your power lines are excessively noisy a power filter
MIGHT solve the problem.
! Phone Connection
The system's telephone line requirements are
the same as a standard telephone. Its connection to
the telephone line is the same as any NORMAL
single line telephone that you could buy at any
department store.
! Business Telephones
This system is not compatible with modular
jacks used for multi-line ELECTRONIC PHONE
SYSTEMS. To connect the SYSTEM to this type of
phone system, an RJ-11 jack must be ordered from
your local telephone company. It should be noted
that when the BA-1000-A is used, the line indicator
lights on the phone system will not show the line as
being used.
Installation
! Location
When selecting a location for the system, the
following conditions MUST be avoided:
Temperatures above 95°F.
Temperatures below 65°F.
Carpeted areas that produce Static Electricity.
Version 4.00 Page 7
! Single Line Phones
If you have a single line phone it is probably
connected to a small modular jack. Simply unplug
the phone and plug the system in. If you wish to
have both the phone and the system connected at the
same time you can plug the phone into the PHONE
jack on the back of the BA-1000-A.
! Order A Phone Jack
If you need to order a jack from the telephone
company, you will need the following information:

other phone you can listen to (make sure
the volume on the system is all the way
down).

CODEC Initialize
