Bang & Olufsen BeoCom 2500 User manual

The BeoCom 2500 is an advanced telephone with a
modern and user-friendly design.
The operation and the settings of the telephone are
done by menu driven operations.
The BeoCom 2500 has built-in Caller ID* capability
which allows you to see who is calling. The last 24 calls
to the telephone are stored in the Caller ID list. The

and time of each call. The BeoCom 2500 also supports
the Call Waiting service.
