Bang & Olufsen BEOCOM 2500 User Manual

The BeoCom 2500 is an advanced telephone with a modern and user-friendly design.

The operation and the settings of the telephone are done by menu driven operations.

The BeoCom 2500 has built-in Caller ID* capability which allows you to see who is calling. The last 24 calls to the telephone are stored in the Caller ID list. The numbers can be shown in the display together with date and time of each call. The BeoCom 2500 also supports the Call Waiting service.

In the electronic Phone Book you can store up to 121 telephone numbers with names attached. It is easy to enter numbers and names into the Phone Book as the telephone display automatically asks whether you want to store the number after a call.

An optional module for remote volume control of Bang & Olufsen audio and video systems can be added to the BeoCom 2500.

*Caller ID subscription is a prerequisite to this function
