Hello everyone, first post ever.

I'm in the process of buying a Beocom 2 and I might have found one that suits my budget and has the color i'm looking for.

 

The seller sent me this pictures.



 

 

If i'm correct, it's missing a way to connect it to a phone cable, right ?

Do I simply need to get a power supply with a phone cable

That's just the handset and charger so you'll need to add a PSTN in order to connect to the phone line.

Have a read of this FAQ to work out which one to get: https://beoworld.org/faq_view.asp?id=74

Thank you for this quick answer.

So a power supply with a phone line would not work ?

A further thought: If your internet modem/router has built in DECT, then you may be able to connect the Beocom straight to it without purchasing a PSTN. I have used Beocom 6000s like this in the past - there will be reduced functionality but calls in/out should work fine.

To build on Guy's comments, the following may help you..

BeoCom 2 Basic and BeoCom 2 System have the same hardware and look the same.
Only the software is different.

BeoCom 2 Basic = software version 1.3
BeoCom 2 System = software version 2.2

A software readout on the display is made by pressing following keys on the BeoCom 2 keyboard:
9#9#9 then INT then OK

BeoCom 2 MK II is different from BeoCom 2 Basic and BeoCom 2 System as it has a smaller contact plate
on the plug for base/charger.

Hi there,

a quick update : i bought the phone without testing it.

It's a 2013, MK2 device

I managed to link it with my router (freebox delta / France), so no base needed !

Thank you very very much for the help !

 

I was very surprised to be able to change the volume of my beomaster without any pairing procedure.

 

Only complain i might have is that the volume could be a bit higher.

Since i've never had one before, can't tell if this is normal, but not a big deal anyway, the price i got was great.

Great news - thanks for letting us know that the DECT connection worked. I don't think many people are aware that connection can be so simple!

I can't help with the volume issue, but perhaps there are other BeoCom owners who can advise.

Dear Keith, may I ask you a stupid question: what is the difference (in functionality?) between BeoCom 2 Basic and BeoCom 2 System?
