! Format Option
The first option is to format the disk. Care must
be taken with this option, as it will erase all
information on the disk (including all messages).
You can enter
1 1 1 1 to format the disk or 3 3 3 3 to
continue to the next option.
If you choose to format, you must then enter
1 1 1 1 to use the Quick format (clears the file structure
and makes the disk like new, very quick) or
3 3 3 3 for
the Full format (erases every part of the disk and
clears the file structure, very slow, about 10
minutes). You will still be able to press
~
~ ~ ~ to return to the Idle State without
formatting; before you start the format process from
here.
! Copy Message
This option allows you to copy your outgoing
messages to another ZIP disk. The copy disk must
have already been inserted into the BA-1000-A
before starting this process; otherwise, your copying
time will be wasted, because the BA-1000-A erases
any new disk when it is first placed in the system.
NOTE: This process takes a long time with a LOT
of disk swapping; you should only use this option if
you do not have access to a PC with a ZIP drive on
it.
! Copy System
This option allows you to copy the current
system settings to another ZIP disk. The copy disk
must have already been inserted into the BA-1000-A
before starting this process; otherwise, your copying
time will be wasted, because the BA-1000-A erases
any new disk when it is first placed in the system.
! Erase Messages
This option allows you to erase all leads from
the system. This option does not erase your
outgoing messages.
Trouble shooting
This section has been provided to help the user
in case of problems. For best results, all of the
following procedures should be read and followed.
If after the following steps, you are still having
problems, go to the Customer Support section.
! Audio Quality Problems
If the audio quality of your outgoing messages
is poor, try the following:
" Hold the microphone so the head is at
about chin level, approximately 3 inches
from your chin.
" Speak your message in a loud clear voice.
" The audio quality through the speaker
will never be as good as through the
phone line; so have the system call some
other phone you can listen to (make sure
the volume on the system is all the way
down).
! CODEC Initialize Error
When the system initially powers up, it must set
up the phone line and local audio circuits. During
this process, the following conditions may appear.
CODEC 2 error
If the following message appears:
CODEC Initialize
Error--> CODEC 2
Most likely the microphone is plugged into the
system. The microphone MUST be unplugged
whenever you are NOT recording, otherwise the
system will, on power failure, lock up on this
message. You can only correct this problem by
removing the microphone, unplugging power, then
reconnect power.
CODEC 1 error
If the following message appears:
CODEC Initialize
Error--> CODEC 1
Most likely some strange signal occurred on the
phone line while the system was powering up. You
can correct this problem by removing the phone line
cord, unplugging power, then reconnect power; after
the system is at Menu, you can reconnect the phone
line cord.
