Computer Linkage
With the use of an optional software package,
telephone numbers can be converted and stored
directly to the ZIP cartridge the BA-1000 uses.
Then, just put the ZIP cartridge into the BA-1000
system and it is ready to call those numbers. This
means that numbers from a database, or a purchased
mailing list, can be transferred directly into the BA-
1000 system. The software package can be used on
PC’s running Windows 95, 98 or ME with either an
internal or external ZIP drive.
Power Out Protected
The numbers stored on disk and the setup and
clock information is backed up with a 10 year
battery. If power fails at any time, the unit will
remember if it was dialing or in answer mode, and it
will pick up where it left off.
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.
High dust/tobacco smoke areas.
Exposure to direct sunlight.
The SYSTEM and the POWER CUBE should
be located in a well ventilated area. It should be
noted that the POWER CUBE can get quite warm
during operation. Make sure that both a three-prong
power outlet and a proper telephone jack are within
six feet of the installation site.
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 is used, the line indicator
lights on the phone system will not show the line as
being used.
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.
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)
Setup
1) Connect the cord from the POWER CUBE to
the BA-1000.
2) Plug the POWER CUBE to a power outlet. The
BA-1000 will turn on automatically.
CAUTION: Do NOT disconnect the POWER
CUBE from the BA-1000 while it is
performing disk access functions. Doing so
will corrupt the data on the disk and will
