Placing Handset into the Base Station and Charging the Batteries

IMPORTANT! Before using your handset, you must register it first.

Turn the handset off by holding down the END key then place it in the base station with the display facing upward toward you. After about one minute, the handset's internal number will appear on the display (for example“INT 1”). Successful registration is signaled by a confirmation beep (crescendo tone sequence).

For information on how to register additional handsets (bought separately), see page 56.

Setting Up the Telephone

Leave the handset in the base station for about 12–14 hours the first time the batteries are charged. The charging status symbol flashes on the handset, indicating that the batteries are being charged:

Batteries empty (symbol flashes)

Batteries 1/3 charged

● Once the initial charging operation is completed, you can re-

place your handset into the base station or charger after each call. Charging is controlled electronically. This ensures optimum charging and prolongs battery life.

● The batteries heat up during charging. This is normal and not

dangerous.

● The battery charging status is correctly displayed only after

uninterrupted charging/discharging. You should therefore avoid opening the battery compartment unnecessarily.

Batteries 2/3 charged

Batteries fully charged

Attaching the Belt Clip

Turning Handset On/Off

a To turn handset on/off, hold down the End key – you will hear a con-

firmation beep.

The handset is turned on as soon as you insert the batteries and place the handset in the base station.

The answering machine in the Gigaset 4215 is automatically turned on when you install your phone and completely operated through any registered 4200 handset.

Operating the answering machine is made easier by menus and displays on the handset and by announcements that you can hear on the handset.

Unless you set the date and time (see page 7), recorded messages will not be “time stamped”.

In addition to the telephone's answering machine, you can use an “voice mail service” offered by your local network provider (e.g. telco voice). None of the following functions relates to the network provider's voice mail service. Check with your network provider for these services.

The number you store can be:

● An internal number - An additional registered hand-

set required.

● An external number - A cell phone number or

another fixed network number where you can be contacted (i.e. your neighbor’s home number.).

If you use an external telephone number for the room monitor you should inform the owner of the telephone so that the call from the room monitor is answered.

This warranty shall not apply to the cabinet or cosmetic parts, antenna, buttons, batteries, or routine maintenance.

Customer Care Warranty for Cordless Products

FCC Information

War ning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by Siemens Cordless Products could void the FCC authority to operate the equipment. This includes the addition of any external antenna device.

This telephone system complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the bottom of the base station is labeling that contains, among other information the FCC Registration Number and the Ringer Equivalence number (REN). You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.

The REN is useful in determining the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.

If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may ask you to disconnect the system from the line until the problem has been corrected or they may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice isn’t practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with FCC.

Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your telephone system. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service. If you experience trouble with this telephone system, disconnect it from the network unt il the problem has been corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.

This telephone system may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs. Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this phone.

This telephone system equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful int erference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TV’s and VCR’s; to minimize or prevent such interference, the system base should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR; and, if interference is experienced, moving the base farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

However, there is no guarantee that int erference will not occur in a particular installation. If this telephone system does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the system off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

1. Increase the separation between the base station and receiver.

2. Connect the base station into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

3. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.

Noti ce to Hearing Aid Wearers: This phone system is compatible with inductively coupled hearing aids.

Power O utage : In the event of a power outage, your cordless telephone will not operate. The cordless telephone requires electricity for operation. You should have a telephone that does not require electricity available for use during power outages.

Noti ce: The installation of the base unit should allow at least 8 inches between the base and persons to be in compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Safety Precautions

Industry Canada Certification

NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain t elecommunications network, protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s).

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company.
