20 Most Recent Siemens Gigaset 4215 Cordless Phone Questions & Answers

I don't have this model but I have had two Siemens phone systems. Typically, when the handset says "Searching" it is trying to connect to the base station (the part actually connected to the phone line). This can happen if the handset is too far from the base station to connect to it wirelessly. It can also happen if the handset has become unregistered from the base station (or was never registered to begin with). If the distance issue is not the problem, look in your documentation for how to register the handset and give that a try.

Read the manual, page 2.

Go to page 7 of the following manual and you will find your procedure:

You control the answering machine from the handset. First turn on the answering machine. Press Menu then use the up/down arrows keys to navigate to Ans Machine. Press OK then navigate to Answering M. Look for a check next to this to indicate it is on. Press OK to toggle the answering system on or off. Then press End or left arrow to return to the previous menu. If the machine's memory is full, it will switch off. Delete messages so that the unit will keep the answering machine feature on.

Next to record a new message follow the above steps to reach the Ans Machine menu and press OK. Scroll to Announcements and press OK. Scroll to Record Annc or Rec Annc Only (if no messages will be recorded). Press OK then bring the handset to your ear and listen for the notification of recording and then the tone. State your message clearly into the microphone of the handset. Press End to stop recording and listen to the unit play back your announcement. (It will stop automatically after 170 seconds or a 2 second pause in your speaking.) If an Annc Only message is available, the machine will play it when the memory is full. Otherwise, it will turn off.

To select your announcement (and recording type) follow the above steps to Announcements and press OK. Then scroll to Mode and press OK. Scroll to Annc or Annc Only (available if the Announcement only recording has been made) then press OK. Again OK toggles the announcement on or off; look for a check mark to indicate the announcement will be played. Press End to exit the menu.

I hope this helps.

My Siemens Gigaset AS15 Cordless Phone is constantly calling the same number, no matter which number I dial! What shuld I do?
Thank you.

Hi,

If your handset displays Searching or Out of Range and cannot link up with the base when the Talk button is pressed, check the following: 1. Handset may be out of range of the base. Move closer to the base.
2. Make sure the base power adaptor is properly installed and connected to a working electrical outlet.
3. Disconnect the handset battery and plug it in again. Place the handset on the cradle for at least 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Disconnect the power adaptor and remove any back up batteries from the base. Wait for 3 seconds and insert the backup batteries into the base, then plug the power adaptor back into the base. Replace the handset on the cradle for at least 2 to 3 minutes.


Carry out a reset procedure on both the handset and the base to return the settings back to the factory default. Your user guide will guide you through the correct procedure.

Hi,
Try with another phone.If the phone line is ok then the fault is with the power supply of the base station.When the power supply is defective this type noises occur and phone dies due to power failure.This could be due to fault in voltage regulator,capacitors.

Some times jack of the headphone could be a problem.open up the phone and get inside the jack area and tweek (bend) the contacts

If your phone uses battery then it is stone dead.Because of this it is not able to produces the signal.When there is no enough voltage it will make distortion and noises and dies.
