In case anyone else is wondering, the answer is that the BeoCom 5 is software updatable. Took both handsets to my dealer today who noticed they were at 2.1 (Nov 2010) and updated them to the most recent 2.3 software. No idea what this does or offers nor whether it fixes the above problem (yet).

Actually, the update does not do anything for you from 2.2 to 2.3 because its just a software change to ensure that the units are backward compatible after a new hardware component was introduced into production.

Only one problem was fixed from veraion 2.1 to 2.2 and that is if you are in a call and you place the phone on the speaker it ends the phone call.

From version 2.0 to 2.1 the following issues were resolved:-

• tHE Handset loses contact with THE base -- "Base not found"
• No dial tone on line 2 after incoming call. US VERSION ONLY
• No caller-ID, no missed call, no caller-ID in list
• With Swedish base language, the duration of the call no longer fits in the screen area

That fixes my problem then :)

My problem was exactly that (see the original post) and I had v2.1 installed on the BeoCom 5s. Both were upgraded from 2.1 to 2.3.

Just a quick follow up on this.

Since the SW 2.3 update, the problem where the call would end when a live caller was put on speaker, has been fixed (as Keith said it was in 2.2). Also the sound quality appears to have stablised slightly.

Good news all round. Happy.

Is there an easy way to establish what SW version the Beocom 5 is running?

The dealer typed in a special code on the keypad. I'm sure Keith or someone else will know?

9#9#9*INT

Hello,

I have a Beocom5 with Handset SW 1,7 and Base SW2,1. My problem is that the caller ID is not shown on th edisplay. Telekom provider has this feature open, but Beocom does not show who calls.

Would an update help me?

Is BASE = Speakerphone, or is Base the Beoline2?

What do I need to take to my dealer for the update?

Thanks,

Heribert

Base the Beoline2

What do I need to take to my dealer for the update?  The handset & Base
