BANG & OLUFSEN BEOCOM 1 PHONEs & MASTER BASE STATIONS
You are bidding on a Bang & Olufsen Beocom 1 handset & master base stations. The handsets are Black and the master base stations are Silver.
This base station can be used either as the master & charger or simply as a charger.
1) If you wish to use it as the “master & charger”, you simply need to connect your phone line directly to it as well as the supplied power adapter. Doing so, you could link up to eight Beocom 1s on the same master base (1 master + 7 satellite phones).
2) Should you choose to use it as a “charger”, you would simply need to plug the power adapter. The silver triangular shaped base is so much more attractive than the regular black charging base.
This phone has been very well cared for by an adult (me) in my home office therefore both master base and phone and are in excellent shape.
The batteries are about 3 years old and still hold a good charge.
This is a 110 volt phone/charger intended for use in North America (Canada & USA)
Here is an excerpt I found on the B&O website:
BeoCom 1 is the complete digital telephone system with up to 8 cordless handsets for each member of the family to use. It is a direct challenge to the traditional concept of how a telephone should look and function. In setting new standards in design, BeoCom 1 offers individuals a flexibility and freedom never-before experienced. The use of DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) technology allows the telephone to form a complete, internal telephone system for the home and office.
Up to eight handsets, needing only individual chargers can be linked to one base unit. 'Cordless freedom' may be obtained as no cables are needed to link the individual handsets, and only one telephone socket is required. Each unit has a display with access to a 200-number memory with Caller ID shown by name if it's already stored in the telephone book. Entries made in a handset are automatically reproduced in other handsets within the system, which will also remote control the volume of Bang & Olufsen televisions and music centers.
Cordless
With an eye-catching form that just invites you to pick it up, BeoCom 6000 is everything you could ask for in a cordless telephone and then some more
Multifunctional / Easy Operation
BeoCom 1 is also much more than just an exercise in shape and innovative design. It’s easy to use, comfortable to hold and offers a sound quality that can only be Bang & Olufsen
Easy Access, The Wheel
There’s no point in filling a telephone with useful features and functions if they’re difficult to access and complicated to understand. The wheel at the centre of BeoCom 6000 is designed to put everything directly at your fingertips and bring unrivalled simplicity to everyday communication
Volume Control A/V
Adjust the sound on your Bang & Olufsen audio-video products directly from your BeoCom 6000 handset. Simply press ‘A’ for audio or ‘V’ for video and rotate the wheel to turn the sound up or down
Caller ID
Caller ID lets you see the phone number, date and time of the latest 24 calls made to you - and lets you return the call with a single press of a button
Phone Book
The Phone book holds up to 200 name and number entries and is built up automatically as you make and receive calls
Redial
The redial function gives you instant access to the details of the latest 24 numbers that you have dialed. Telephones are used a lot more than other electronic equipment and sometimes under tougher and more hazardous conditions. Design and technological features mean little if your telephone lets you down when you need it most, so the anticipation of what can happen to a telephone has been turned into a fine art at Bang & Olufsen. B&O telephones are exposed to extremes of heat and cold, they have coffee spilled over them, dust blown at them, and they’re stepped upon and subjected to a whole series of bumps, vibrations and falls. And it's not only the unexpected that's tested for; a robot assesses daily wear and tear by methodically lifting and replacing the handset of a telephone 100000 times, while a mechanical finger dials telephone numbers over and over again. In a space of days, the life of a telephone and everything the modern world may throw at it is simulated many times over!
Loudspeaker Quality
'Earphone coupling loss factor', 'receiver loudness rating value' and 'acoustic leakage' are technical terms that mean little to most telephone users. They are just some of the things that Bang & Olufsen test for to determine the sound quality of a BeoCom telephone. The enhanced sound of the BeoCom telephone range is the result of Bang & Olufsen’s long-standing specialization in the miniaturization of high-performance loudspeakers. Every BeoCom handset contains a built-in pressure chamber loudspeaker that ensures optimal natural sound reproduction while minimizing distortion and sound leakage. But Bang & Olufsen telephones are not only the result of theoretical calculations and complicated acoustical analyses; the final test is the human ear itself. A listening panel made up of people with an extraordinary sense of hearing provides the most crucial evaluation of BeoCom telephones.
Free your hands
With EarSet 1 Home you can enjoy the exceptional sound quality found in any Bang & Olufsen telephone combined with complete hands-free flexibility. This outstanding headset is optimised for hands-free conversations carried out on fixed line telephones. Whether you are tapping away on a keyboard or just flipping through a magazine, EarSet 1 Home is so practical and comfortable that using it may become an addiction.
Sorry everyone. This are the BEOCOM 1'S. I cut and pasted the wrong info before.
