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 DeLuxe service.

In the electronic Phone Book you can store up to 121
telephone numbers with names attached. It is easy to
enter numbers/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.
