Product Specifications

Bell System 801 Audio Door Entry Telephone

The Bell System 801 is Bell's original audio door entry telephone. It has been re-styled a number of times over the years and keeps its classic design. Bell includes the 801 in its standard 900 Series and VRK audio door entry systems, and in the CS and Bellprox combined keypad and proximity systems. Bell describes it as a white 5-wire audio telephone.

The 801 is made in white high-impact ABS plastic for durability. The lock release push-button sits on the base, under the handset, to prevent inadvertent use. The electronic ringing tone is reduced when the handset is off the hook, and it has HI and LO levels, set inside the telephone. The 801-DESK version sits on a factory fitted sloped pedestal, with a captive cable and a telephone wall mounting socket.

Common questions

Which Bell systems use the 801 telephone?

Bell includes the 801 in its standard 900 Series and VRK audio door entry systems, and in the CS and Bellprox combined keypad and proximity systems. Bell also lists the 801 as a telephone for its Bellagio and vandal resistant digital audio panels. It operates from 12V AC or 12V DC.

Is the 801 suitable for elderly residents?

Bell especially recommends the 801 for the elderly because of its wide handset. The lock release button is placed on the base, under the handset, to prevent inadvertent use, and the ringing tone is reduced when the handset is off the hook.

What is the 801-DESK?

The 801-DESK is the table top version of the 801. It is factory fitted on a sloped pedestal for ease of use, and has a captive cable and a telephone wall mounting socket. Choose it where a wall-mounted handset is not wanted.

Can the ringing be made louder or quieter?

Within two levels, yes. The 801 has a HI or LO position for the ringing tone, set within the telephone on installation or at a later date. To carry the call tone to other rooms, Bell makes the model RT27 extension sounder for standard 801 telephones.
