Help Re-Furbishing a Beocom 1 Home System

[John O’Rourke]

Hi Everyone –

New to Beoworld and to this forum.

I have an old Beocom 1 home phone system that is slowly dying.  I would like to re-furbish it with various handsets (desktop and wall mounted), perhaps a different base, speakerphone, etc.  I am hoping someone in this forum will give me guidance on a reputable seller for used equipment, and advice on what works with what.  Am I in the right place for this kind of guidance?

Thank you,

John, New York, USA

Hello –

If I want to have up to eight hand sets – Can I change my existing Beocom 1 Base to one that will accommodate eight?  Will the Beocom 1 handsets work with the new base?  And, can I add the Beocom 2 banana phone to the mix?

One more question – How can I find a speaker phone that would work with this new mix that I am trying to create?

Thank You, John

Hi John and welcome to Beoworld!

Have a look at the following compatibility table so you can work out compatibility between the various handsets and bases:

Assuming that you are using a BeoLine US with your BeoCom 1s, you should already be able to connect up to 8 handsets.  Perhaps you have other older/unused phones registered to the base, in which case you should delete them to release space for others.

If you do have the BeoLine US, then you should be able to connect a BeoCom 2 (US) with the type numbers listed above.

With regard to ‘refurbishment’ of your existing BeoComs, there is little that you can do other than fitting new batteries – this often solves problems with the phone or display and would be my approach in the first instance.

Ref  speakerphone, I am not aware of any easy options, although some of the older ‘cabled’ BeoComs have built in speakerphone – BeoCom 2000 for instance.  You’d have to be careful to get one compatible with the US phone network.

I hope this helps – come back and ask if you have further questions.
