BeoCom 3 handles two phone
lines. Before you make a call, you
can choose which line to use –
line 1 or 2.

three modes at any time by
pressing the speaker or headset
button on the console, or by
lifting the handset. The duration
of an active call is shown in the
display until the call is ended.
During your conversation, you can

person on the phone to overhear
a conversation you are having
with a person in the room, you
can mute the call.

The built-in Phonebook will
quickly become your personal
reference when you call family or
friends.
You can search the Phonebook in
different ways. Search through all
names or search alphabetically by
the first letter in an entry.
Naturally, you can also search
through numbers that have no
names attached to them.
Depending on the length of the
entries, the Phonebook can contain
approximately 200 names and
numbers. The entries are shown in
the display in alphabetical order.
You can easily add an entry to
your Phonebook immediately after
a call is ended.
Store a name and number after a call
After a call, you are prompted to store in
the Phonebook the number and name of
the person with whom you have spoken.
Choose capital and lower-case letters, digits
and special letters from the list in the
display. An empty slot in the list indicates a
space, and is the symbol for storing.
After a call…
If you need a country-specific letter…
Enter a new name and number
When entering names and numbers, you
can use up to 25 letters in a name and up
to 48 digits in a number. There is one line
for a name and one for a number. The
number of available entries in the
Phonebook is dependent upon the length
of each entry; long entries limit this
number.
You can also enter the number first. When you
press OK to store the number, you gain direct
access to the naming function.

BeoCom 3 makes it possible for
you to handle simultaneous calls,
whether the calls are on separate
lines or on the same line.
Use the line keys to switch back
and forth between calls on the
two lines. The indicator lights
show the status of both lines.
There is no need to press a
separate ‘Hold’ button, as
switching from one line to
another automatically places the
non-active call on hold.
If, for example, you have an active
call on line 1, and you receive an
incoming call on the same line,
you can place the first call on hold
and answer the new call. Please
note, however, that placing a call
on hold in this manner requires
that you have a subscription to
the basic Call Waiting service with
your phone company.
Calls on separate lines
You switch between calls on lines 1 and 2
by pressing the Line 1 or Line 2 keys. The
guide tabs in the display and the indicator
lights show which line is active and
whether or not a call on the other line is
placed on hold.
You have an active call on line 1 and an
incoming call on line 2…
The indicator light for line 1 shines steadily
green to show that the line is active, and the
indicator light for line 2 flashes red to indicate
an incoming, unanswered call.
> Press Line 2 to answer the incoming call on
line 2. The duration of the new call is shown
in the display. The indicator light for line 1
flashes green to indicate a call on hold, and
the indicator light for line 2 shines a steady
green to indicate an active call.
> Press Line 1 to return to line 1.
Line 2 is then on hold.
> If, instead, you wish to end the call on line 1
before answering the incoming call on line 2,
press the cup once, and then press Line 2 to
return to the call on line 2.
If you are using BeoCom 3 hands-free or with a
headset, you can also press 'Speaker' or
'Headset' respectively to end one call before
selecting the call on the other line.

Calls on the same line - Call Waiting
Use the Flash button to place a call on
hold while you answer an incoming call,
or to switch between two calls.
You have an active call and an incoming
call is registered on the same line…
The number and name of the incoming call
appear in the display.
> Press OK or the Flash button to place the
active call on hold and answer the incoming
call.
> Press the Flash button to switch back and
forth between the two calls.
You can also end the active call and answer
an incoming call on the same line by pressing
and holding the handset cup for a couple of
seconds. The active call is then ended and the
incoming call becomes active.

BeoCom 3 makes it possible for
you to include multiple calls in a
conference call.
You can combine calls on line 1
and line 2 to a conference call,
and you can combine calls on the
same line to a conference call as
well. However, to combine calls
on the same line, you must have a
subscription to your phone
company’s Three-Way Call service
for that line.
A three-way call on one line can
be combined with a single active
call on the other line for a
fourway conference call. Threeway calls on both line 1 and line 2
can also be combined to a fiveway conference call.
If you choose to make a
three-way call part of a larger
conference call, please note that
you must initiate all the calls in
the three-way call.
A 2-line conference call
When you have simultaneous calls on both
line 1 and line 2, you can connect the calls
and establish a conference call.
You have simultaneous calls on both lines…
You can also create a conference call by
pressing the Line 1 and Line 2 buttons
simultaneously. All parties on both lines are
then included in the conference call.
Please note that external parties in a conference
call will hear each other only faintly if they are
located far from the telephone exchange. This
network problem can be reduced by subscribing
to the Three-Way Call service with your
telephone company.
Three-way call – conference call on one line
When you establish a three-way call, the
first call made can be an incoming or
outgoing call, but you must initiate the
second call yourself. Please contact your
phone company for more information
about the Three-Way Call service.
You have a call on e.g. Line 1…
> Press the Flash button to place the active call
on hold and start a new call.
> Place a call to the third party in your
threeway call.
> When the third party answers the call, press
Flash again to start a conference call.
> To end the conference call, press Flash a third
time. The third party is disconnected and you
can continue the original call.
> Place the phone in the cup to end the call
completely .

execute a ‘flash’ between calls
on the same line;
– preset the display contrast for
optimum viewing of display
information;
– choose to store calls from other,
connected phones in the
BeoCom 3 Redial list;

more information about the ‘Area codes’
menu.
Preset a flash time
The requirements telephone companies
have for the duration of a ‘flash’ – a switch
to another call on the same line – may
differ. You can preset a flash time.
In most cases, it will be unnecessary to adjust
flash time, as flash times should either match the
’short’ or ’long’ settings. If you experience
problems with the flash function, please contact
your telephone company for the precise flash
time.

Does BeoCom 3 work during power
outages?
In case of a power failure, BeoCom 3 can
be used for emergency outgoing calls –
albeit with reduced functionality. The
lights in the display are off, and the guide
tabs are non-functional. Only the number
keys, * and # function normally. All calls
made during a power failure are made via
Line 1. To make a call, pick up the handset
and dial the number manually.
Is the Phonebook, Caller ID list or Redial
list deleted if the power fails, or if the
telephone line is disconnected?
No. The Phonebook, the Caller ID list, and
the Redial list remain intact and fully
functional in both situations.
Why do the indicator lights flash?
The indicator lights above the buttons for
Line 1 and Line 2 flash green to indicate
that there is a call on hold on the relevant
line, and flash red to indicate an incoming
call on the relevant line.
How do I undo a step if, for example, I
press the wrong button? Can I exit a
function?
Press the C button (for ‘Clear’) to undo the
last button pressed, or to exit a menu or
function.
Why does the same number appear twice
in the Caller ID list?
You have received calls from the same
number on both Line 1 and Line 2.
I have Call Waiting. What happens if I
reject an incoming call?
If you reject an incoming call (by pressing
C), the caller will hear a ringing signal, as
though the call has not been answered.

For the Canadian market only…
NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies
certified equipment. This certification means
that the equipment meets telecommunications
network protective, operational and safety
requirements as prescribed in the appropriate
Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements
document(s). The Department does not
guarantee the equipment will operate to the
user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should
ensure that it is permissible to be connected to
the facilities of the local telecommunications
company. The equipment must also be installed
using an acceptable method of connection.
The customer should be aware that compliance
with the above conditions may not prevent
degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be
coordinated by a representative designated by
the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by
the user to this equipment, or equipment
malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request
the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection
that the electrical ground connections of the
power utility, telephone lines and internal
metallic water pipe system, if present, are
connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make
such connections themselves, but should
contact the appropriate electric inspection
authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
assigned to each terminal device provides an
indication of the maximum number of
terminals allowed to be connected to a
telephone interface. The termination on an
interface may consist of any combination of
devices subject only to the requirement that
the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of
all the devices does not exceed 5.
For the American market only…
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
rules for the United States.
A label is located on the underside of the base

The REN is used to determine the quantity of
devices which may be connected to the
telephone line. Excessive RENs on the
telephone line may result in the devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. In

should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of
the number of devices that may be connected
to a line, as determined by the total RENs,
contact the local telephone company.
