Hi Michael,

you might try to swap the batteries between the two phones and see if the second phone starts working then. The battery is not very expensive and it´s worth to get it replaced.

Hi michael,if the 2 phone you got from the in-laws are mrk 1 beo com 6000 they will never work with the beoline base you have.They may register but they will never work 100% and that goes for beo com 2 mrk1.Mrk 2 beocom 6000 and mrk 2 beocom 2 only work on that base.unregister the 6000 for your base because it will make your beocom 2 do all sorts of weird things not ring no display.Tony

Thanks for the quick response.

I have had a look and it is a mark 1 phone. I have set the menu to common and it tells me that 'common is stored'. Still when I try to store an entry then it says 'phone book **not base 1**.

I have had a look at which base it is registered too and both the beocom 6000 and the beocom2 are set to the same base.

Do you have any other ideas?

I have tried holding down the centre button on the other phone for quite some time and still it isn't working - i think therefore that we have a faulty battery. Is it worth trying to get fixed at B and O or just buying a new one?

thanks again - look forward to your reply!

Michael

Hello Michael and a very warm welcome to Beoworld.

If your Beocom 6000's are about 5 years old it could be a Mark I or Mark II version as that was about the time of the changeover. A Mark I has a black DOT at the 9'O Clock position on the dial and a Mark II has the letters INT

You issue with the address book is almost certainly caused by the fact that the phones have a facility to use either a PERSONAL or COMMON address book and I expect you have the phone set to personal.

I am taking a guess that your Beocom 6000's are the Mark I version and to change the address book from personla to common you need to do the following:-

Press DOT then MENU
Press 7 to display the handset/base menu
Turn wheel to find PERSONAL or COMMON
Press OK

With regards to the second phone, is it actually turned on ? Press the centre button for at least 5 seconds or until it comes on.

If that fails, then either the battery is faulty or the phone has another fault.

Hello all

I am new to Beoworld and was hoping for some advice.

I recently purchased a Beocom2 phone and the chocolate bar connection to the phone line.

My in laws gave me 2 beocom 6000 phones (quite old - 5 years approx.). I can get one of the phones to register to the base unit but they will not pick up the adddress book etc. This I find a real pain and was wondering if there is any way round it?

The second phone does not seem to charge up and I can't get anything out of it at all - any ideas.

Thanks in advance

Michael
