[quote user="Michael"]I certainly have more respect for the engineering of the beo5, apart from this particular design flaw, as the interior is very clean and well thought out.[/quote] B&O uses a very special grease for this already that once applied should be impossible to be removed. My guess is that either they forgot that step when

Hi Keith, Your picture also shows, that there are 2 clips in the top of the handset (one at the IR lens and one in the other side - not marked with a red description). My experience is that these are the must vulnerable and that they break easily. Therefore I also recommend that the backpart is moved upwards to avoid breaking the last two clips. Other

The power you can use from the telephone line is very limited when the line is unused. The power is nowhere near enough to drive the radio part making Beocom 4 wireless. The power you can use is not even high enough to drive the display on the corded telephones like Beocom 2500 etc. which is the reason for the batteries in corded phones with display

[quote user="beojeff"] Another issue of curiosity is the strength of the Beo5 non-B&O IR signal. A great advantage of the B&O IR signal is its strength. We really don't even need to point the Beo4 or Beo5, and the range of reception is quite wide. This is certainly an advantage of using the PUC or Lintronic's code-converter

"No contact with base" means that the handset cannot find the base station. It has nothing to do with cables, VoIP etc. The message tells the user that the base station is out of reach. Since you've had no problems charging the handset, the base station is powered and the problem does not lie in the power adaptor or the cable. Furthermore

[quote user="k984942"] Thanks for the info Burnix. Just to clarify, does this cone come with the Beo5 or with the Beo5 charger? My dealer has the Beo5 for me but not the charger part as yet. [/quote] Unfortunately for you the docking station comes with the charger. I also agree with Keith that charging using USB of course requires a powered

[quote user="k984942"] To clarify, does it take a standard male mini USB into the bottom of the Beo5? I'm hoping this is the case as I can then use my camera cable. [/quote] Beo5 itself does not have a USB plug in the bottom part. It has a special designed cone that fits together with a Beo5 docking station. The docking station then has

[quote user="spiderscott"] Also I tried removing the 3 screws at the bottom of the beo5 (on the charge pad) all teh connectors internally were fine. But i was wondering how you could access the rechargeable battery inside ..... [/quote] I would definitely not recommend accessing the battery yourself. Removing the 3 screws is the correct way

[quote user="tournedos"] 447,5 kHz versus 455 kHz is a difference of less than 2% so that should be no problem [/quote] True, but the problem is that 3PTY is limited to 20-80 kHz... i.e. you cannot (to my knowledge) make a e.g. RAW that uses 455 kHz. The only protocol allowed to use this frequency is B&Os own protocol because then the

[quote user="Keith Saunders"] What makes you say that ? B&O use a carrier frequency of 455 Khz, so I expect this company is using the same IR transmitter/receiver diodes as B&O, so carrier is not going to be your problem. The best way to get the codes is capture them, unfortunately most capture devices are not good at working at these
