1 ECO MODE
Given the unique ECO MODE function on the DBX-76 baby monitor,
the transmitter can be automatically and COMPLETALY deactivated
when your baby is sleeping peacefully. The baby monitor will only be
turned on when necessary, for example if your baby is crying.
Take note that if the baby makes a sound, the baby unit will need to
make a connection with the parent unit again. As a result, the rst few
seconds of sound or short sounds may not be heard. If you wish to
hear every sound coming from the baby’s room, then set the sensiti-
vity of the baby unit to maximum (level = 5). At this level the baby unit
will stay on continuously. You can also disable the ECO MODE ON-
OFF switch located at the bottom of the baby unit.
More information about the ECO MODE can be found in Section 5.1.
