INSTALLATION
BABY UNIT:

adapter can be connected to a 230V electrical outlet.
Place the baby unit in the nursery. It is recommended to keep the baby and the
baby monitor at a minimum distance of 2 meters. Ensure that the baby cannot
touch the baby monitor or the power adapter cord.
The baby unit can also be mounted on the wall. There is an opening for mounting
located at the back of the baby unit.
PARENT UNIT:
The parent unit is powered by an included NiMH battery pack (4.8V). The parent
unit is not xed to a power adaptor so it can be used cordless.

into a 230V 50Hz electrical outlet.
Please note that the battery pack needs about 14 hours in order to fully charge.

Explanation of the CTCSS code:
Continuous Tone Controlled
Squelch System is the tone code
that is sent when transmitting. This
code is not an audible tone.
Only when the tone code from the
baby unit corresponds to the tone
code from the parent unit, will the
parent unit display the signal. This
prevents the baby monitor from
interference from other devices
that may communicate on the
same channel.
