A 30-number caller ID memory and 200 speed-dial presets are both displayed on the large five-line backlit LED screen. This slim handset, weighing just 5.6 ounces and measuring only 2-by-6.5-by-1.5-inches, has volume control, call waiting, flash, hold, and last number redial.
This cordless handset provides a speakerphone for hands-free operation. The long battery life provides 10 hours of talk and 6.25 days of standby with a low-battery indicator. With multiple Gigaset handsets, intercom, room monitor, and call transfer and conferencing functions are also available, depending on the features of the base station.

This review is from: Siemens 4200 Gigaset 2.4 GHz Supplementary Handset (Silver and Black) (Office Product) Purchased this phone to use as an additional handset to the Siemens 4215. For those not familar with the Siemens system - up to three of the 4200 series handsets can be used to expand the 4215 base system. You can have phones (4 total)all over the house without the cost of adding wiring and new jacks. I am able to walk to a neighbors home on the two acres next to mine & make/receieve calls with prefect clarity - even inside! One more thing - this phone takes two regular AA rechargeable batteries, so no more expensive batteries that sometimes can cost more than the original phone. 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Siemens 4200 Gigaset 2.4 GHz Supplementary Handset (Silver and Black) (Office Product) Having owned the 4215 base station for about 1 year, I decided to shell out some $$$ and get the 4200 "extension" handset.My review will focus on the negative - since the other reviews have already pointed out the strong points of the 4200. It seemed simple - put the batteries in the 4200 handset, turn it off, put it in the base station and it automatically registers with the master base station. At least this is what the 1 page quick start pamphlet said (the only documnentaiton that comes with the 4200). Unfortunately, this did not work for me. After searching for 30 minutes for the big user manual to the 4215, I finally found it. These instructions indicate that the 4200 can be registered with the base station manually. This is when I discovered the undocumented solution to my problem through 30 minutes of trial and error...back when I first registered the 4215 base station, I changed the system from its default factory '0000' setting to my own setting for security reasons...Read more 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: By A Customer This review is from: Siemens 4200 Gigaset 2.4 GHz Supplementary Handset (Silver and Black) (Office Product) The Siemens Gigaset 4200, 4210, and 4215 units are powerful telephones, but be FOREWARNED....Customers residing in the 14-state Qwest (formerly US West) service area may NOT be able to utilize some of the advanced telephone features. Siemens claims that the 4200-series provides support for "Advanced Caller ID on Call Waiting" (aka "Caller ID 2.5") when the service is obtained from the local telephone company. The Siemens 4215 User's Manual states, "The Gigaset 4215 fully supports this convenient telephone company feature." Don't believe it!!!! Siemens provides support for "Caller ID 2.5" and claims it is a "standard". [Local Company] provides "Call Waiting Deluxe" which requires Type 3 (aka ADSI or Analog Display Service Interface) CPE (Customer Premises Equipment). Type 3 CPE can be programmed (by calling a [local company]-provided 800 number) for use in the [local] service area with the "Call Waiting Deluxe" service. Siemens' Gigaset 4200-series CANNOT be programmed to...Read more |
