system will beep, save the numbers and return you
to the MENU. Each dialing file will hold up to
100,000 phone numbers.
NOTE: If you are entering phone
numbers, and lose power while doing
so, the numbers you have entered will
be lost; so make sure you exit now and
then, or connect the system to a
backup power supply.
Enter phone numbers, exactly as you would call
them yourself, followed by the #; i.e. if you only
dial 7 digits to reach someone, then you only enter 7
digits, 786-1234 would be entered as follows:
7 8 6 1 2 3 4 #
To enter other local area code numbers (see 4
Select File ), enter the area code, phone number then
#; i.e. 916-786-1234 would be entered as follows:
9 1 6 7 8 6 1 2 3 4 #
Full long distance numbers, like 1-916-786-
1234, would be entered as follows:
1 9 1 6 7 8 6 1 2 3 4 #
If you just enter a seven digit number, the
system will add the default area code and long
distance digit to complete the number; but, during
dialing, these will be automatically removed.
Likewise, if you enter a local area code number, the
system will add the long distance digit; but, it will
remove the digit when it dials the number.
Recording Personal Messages
This feature give you the option to record a
personal message for each phone number entered.
This feature will only work when manually entering
phone numbers, one at a time, on the BA-1000. To
use this feature, make sure the
Pers. Msg. setting is
“On” in * System Setup. Now, after you enter a
phone number, followed by the #, it will show the
following:
1=Record Message
3=Next Number
Press then release 3 if you want to enter the
next phone number and not record a personal
message for the phone number you just entered.
Press then release 1 if you want to record a
personal message; then start talking after the longer,
low beep and press then release ~ when you are
finished with the message. It will show the
following while recording:
-- Talk Now—
press ESCAPE=end
 Chaining Entries
Chaining entries allows you to use special
codes at the beginning of a phone number. You can
chain as many entries together as you need to. If the
last file entry is a chained entry, the system will not
allow you to exit NUMBER ENTRY mode; you
have to enter a regular number to exit. To chain an
entry to the next one, enter a * as the last character
in the entry string. If the entry is already 16 digits
long, tapping the * will save it and make it a
chained entry.
Special Codes
Special Codes make the system perform
different functions before dialing a normal phone
number. Special codes MUST have their own entry,
they cannot be part of a telephone number. The
following is a list of the special codes the BA-1000
allows:
*00 – Dial the next touch tone digit for 5
seconds.
*01 to 09 – Pause for 1 to 9 seconds.
*1 – Wait for return dial tone.
*2 – Wait for 5 seconds of silence.
*3 – Dial a touch tone *.
*4 – Dial a touch tone #
*5 – Dial the rest of the phone number string as
touch tones.
*60 – End the call, as a Response, without
doing anything else (like playing a message).
 Exiting

or go directly to DIAL FILE mode from the
following screen:

To return to the MENU, press then release
~ while it shows the following:
