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. We also
recommend installing our T-70 Busy Out modules with this unit,
so that no calls go “Ring no answer”.
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:
FCC No: AP494N-64812-MA-E
RINGER EQ.:0.0B
USOC No (Jack type) RJ-11, RJ-12, or RJ-13 (See
telephone connection)

Connect it and Power Up
Connect our phone cord from the unit, the jack labeled
LINE, to your phone line jack on the wall. It will only work on
a standard phone line, like your house phone line or a jack your
FAX machine plugs in to.
Insert the CF Card into the back of the unit; the system
MUST have the CF Card in the unit at all times to operate.
Connect the supplied POWER ADAPTER to the
POWER jack on the rear panel of the BA-1000-A. This
MUST be done before the POWER ADAPTER is connected
to 115VAC power.
Now plug the POWER ADAPTER to a 115VAC 60Hz
power outlet.
