HC450
Brief overview
Brief overview
With the Gigaset HC450, the door intercom becomes an integral component of
the cordless telephone system. It supports
two-way speech using any registered
cordless telephone which means that the
house telephone no longer has to be permanently located in the entrance area.
The Gigaset HC450 door intercom is suitable for practically all single-family residences, including those that only have
abell.
Main features
u Two-way speech with callers to the
door using the cordless telephone –
including handsfree
u Intuitive operation via the handset's
softkeys (open door, activate entry
light)
u Easy configuration using the menu on
the handset
u Forwarding to external numbers
u Ease of installation and registration
with the Gigaset system
u Replacement of the old bell button
with the door intercom – the existing
cabling is generally adequate for
installation
u Support for existing bell and standard
door openers
u Configuration options for the second
bell key (separate door call to specific
handset, activation of entry lighting,
same function as first bell key)
Gigaset Home Control
"Gigaset Home Control" is a standard that
allows you to control
u household appliances
u lights and blinds
u alarm systems
u heating and air conditioning systems
and
u door intercoms such as the
Gigaset HC450
from a Siemens Gigaset cordless
telephone.
The full functionality of the HC450 door
intercom (opening the door from the
handset, forwarding calls to an external
number and configuring the system) is
available in conjunction with Gigaset cordless telephones that support "Gigaset
Home Control". A list of all compatible
devices can be found in the Appendix.
If you operate the HC450 door intercom
using a standard DECT cordless telephone
(DECT = technical standard for cordless
telephones) that does not support the
GAP standard, only the "two-way speech"
function will be available.
(GAP = cordless telephones that have
been developed in accordance with the
GAP standard are compatible with each
other. This means that handsets from one
manufacturer can be operated on a base
station from another manufacturer. In this
case, however, operation is restricted to
the telephones' basic functions.)

Brief overview
In common with the HC450 door intercom, all other products certified for
"Gigaset Home Control" can be easily
installed without additional cables and
networked with the Gigaset cordless telephone at the push of a button.
"Gigaset Home Control" thus grows with
your needs.
All compatible devices feature the "Gigaset Home
Control" logo, making them
very easy to identify.
You will find more detailed and up-to-date
information together with sources of supply for compatible products on the Internet at the following link:

Range of applications
Assigning the two doorbell keys
The HC450 door intercom has two doorbell keys, each of which can be assigned
different settings.
Call diversion
If call diversion is activated for the door
intercom, the door call will then be
diverted to the external number. The call
diversion relates to the top doorbell key.
The call diversion can be controlled in different ways: If the occupier is at home he/
she sets "Status: Home", which means that
the internal handset will be called first. If
no-one answers, the call will then be
diverted. If "Status: Away" is set, the door
call will immediately be forwarded to an
external number.
Example:
In the Smith family's house, handset no. 1
rings when the top doorbell key labelled
"Smith family" is pressed. Handset no. 2
belonging to the son will only ring when
the bottom doorbell key labelled "Matthew Smith" is pressed. The Smith family
has activated call diversion. If no-one from
the family is at home, then the call will be
forwarded to the father's mobile phone.
Top doorbell key:
The top doorbell key activates a connected
external bell. At the same time, an internal
call is initiated to a specific or to all handsets.
Bottom doorbell key:
u The bottom doorbell key can initiate
another internal call (other handset or
other ringer tone) in addition to the
external bell.
u Its function can also be set identically
to the top key or
u The entry lighting can be activated
when the key is pressed. This requires
the lighting system to be connected to
the HC450 control unit. If the bottom
doorbell key is being used as a
"lights key", it cannot function
as a "doorbell key".

Brief overview
Door opener, bell and entry lighting
The following devices, which are not
among the items supplied, can be connected to the HC450 and operated:
Door opener:
The door can be opened from
the Gigaset handset or, in the
case of a forwarded call, from
a remote location. To do this, a
standard door opener must be
connected (not supplied). The
voltage pulse (12 V alternating
voltage) for opening the door
is supplied by the HC450.
Bell: An existing bell will be con-
nected to the HC450.

Door light:
A light circuit (e.g. the entry
lighting) can be switched on
from the handset and if applicable via the bottom bell key
for between 1 and 90 seconds
or also operated in pulse mode.
The connection to the floating
contact (230 V, 10 A) must be
undertaken by a qualified electrician.

Safety precautions
Safety precautions
Caution:
Read the safety precautions and the manual before use.
Explain their contents to your children as well as the potential hazards associated with using the
telephone.
u Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the control unit.
This adapter is only intended for use on the Gigaset HC450 and must not be connected to other devices.
Make sure that the mains adapter is accessible at all times.
Do not continue to use broken plugs or plug-in power supply units with broken housings as they pose a risk of electric shock. Have these parts replaced with genuine spare
parts without delay.
u The housing of the HC450 control unit and door intercom must not be opened. Unau-
thorised opening of the housing and improper repairs may endanger the user and will
invalidate the warranty.
u The control unit is designed for indoor operation only. Lay the cables so that nobody
can walk on or trip over them.
u The control unit includes a radio module in accordance with the DECT standard. The
operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical conditions
in your respective environment, e.g. doctor's surgery.
u The module must not be installed during a thunderstorm, nor should any cable connec-
tions be plugged in or unplugged, as to do so would expose you to the risk of electric
shock.
u Do not allow fluids to pen etrate th e HC450 control unit and door intercom a s this could
result in electric shocks or short circuits.
u Do not use your telephone in environments with a potential explosion hazard,
e.g. auto paint shops.
u If you give your Gigaset HC450 door intercom to someone else, make sure you also
give them the manual.
u Mounting, installation and startup may only be undertaken by a qualified electrician.
Please observe the respective national regulations for the installation of electrical and
telecommunications systems.
u Installation work on the control unit must only be carried out after the current-carrying
devices have been disconnected from the 230 V mains. Please ensure that the mains
voltage is not switched on again until the installation work has been completed.
u Only equipment supplying safety extra-low voltage (SELV) and complying with
EN 60950 may be connected to the control unit (actuator output).
