Beocom 5000
Cordless Telephone
B&O’s first cordless phone with a number of attractive features that make it a convenient and flexible phone in everyday life.
No matter where you are in the house, there is easy access to both incoming and outgoing calls.
The handset has an excellent weight distribution and ergonomics, which makes long calls more comfortable.
The rechargeable battery gave around 24 hours standby and four hours of continuing calling time. The handset worked at a distance up to 300 metres from the base without any sound deterioration, indoors and out, and dependent on differing conditions.
The handset also had the ability to increase or decrease the volume on other Bang & Olufsen equipment via the built-in remote control. A key lock was built in to avoid the unintentional dialing of telephone numbers when transporting the unit. This phone also had a scrambling function making it almost impossible to ‘listen in’ on calls.
