Power supply:
1. Connect the wide plug of the 6V power adaptor to the
6V DC input on the right side of the baby unit.
2. Plug the adaptor into a 230V wall socket.
Make sure the baby cannot reach the baby
unit or wire. Place the baby unit at least 1 to 2
meters away from the baby and you can bund-
le cables that are too long with tape or cable
ties available specically for this purpose.

Stand:
The bottom of the baby unit is provided with a stand connection point with a
screw thread of 6mm (1/4”). Use this connection to attach a stand (not included).
Positioning tips:
• For use as a baby monitor: place the baby unit at least 2 meters away from
your baby and make sure to safely tuck away the adaptor cable.
• The temperature protrudes from the rear of the baby unit. Make sure this
sensor hangs freely, unexposed to direct sunlight and avoid heat from e.g.
light bulbs.
• For optimal range, it is advisable to set up the baby unit as high as possible,
free from large metal surfaces.
• The baby unit is not waterproof and therefore only suitable for indoor use.
