3 INSTALL
3.1 BABY UNIT:
Power:
Either the baby unit can be powered with the supplied power adapter or through
4x 1,5 Volt AA penlight batteries (add.). If the baby unit is regularly used mobile,
insert the batteries, but connect the adapter when you are at home. Once you
unplug, the adapter will switch to battery power. When you only use the baby
unit inside your home, then installing batteries is not required.
Batteries:
1. Unlock the battery door of the baby unit by pressing the buckle up a little with
your ngernail; the battery cover is now released from the baby unit.
2. Place 4 pieces 1,5 Volt batteries, size AA or penlight (R6) as indicated in the
battery compartment. Use preferably alkaline batteries of good quality.
Placing rechargeable batteries is allowed, but because the baby unit is not
equipped with a charging device, rechargeable batteries should, as soon as
they are empty, be loaded in an external battery charger.
3. Place the battery cover back on the baby unit and snap it.
Power adapter:
1. Connect the 6V power adapter with the thick plug to the 6 V DC connection
on the right side of the baby unit.
2. Insert the power adapter in a 230V power outlet.
Only use the supplied power adapter with the thick plug and model num-
ber S006MV0600080.
Make sure the baby cannot touch the baby unit or the cord.
Place the baby unit at least 2 meters away from the baby and
bundle too long wires with tape or
with specially for this purpose avai-
lable wire wraps.

Tripod:
The bottom of the baby unit is equipped with a tripod attachment point with a 6 mm (1/4”) thread.
You can screw a stand or a tripod here. (add.)
Wall bracket:
Attach, according the gure shown below, the wall bracket to the wall and
screw it to the baby unit.
Optionally, click the camera element with your
nail slightly forward.
You can point the camera approximately 45
degrees downwards.
Push it back into the housing to x the camera.
It is not possible to rotate the camera to the left
or to the right; you should then set up the whole
baby unit.
Positioning tips:
• If used as a baby monitor: place the baby unit at a minimum distance of 2
meters away from your baby and make sure the adapter cord is safely stored.
• At the back of the baby unit the temperature sensor is sticking out. Make sure that the sensor is
hanging freely and is not directly lit by the sun or heated by electric lights.
• For an optimal range, it is preferred to set up the baby unit as high as possible, free from large
metal surfaces.
• Put the antenna up for best possible range.
• The baby unit is not waterproof and therefore only suitable for indoor use. When used outdoors,
protect the baby unit from moisture and sand.

3.2 PARENT UNIT:
Power:
The parent unit can be directly charged with the supplied rechargeable battery or through the
supplied power adapter with the thin plug. Once you connect the power adapter the battery will be
charged so that the parent unit can also be used mobile.
Battery:
1. Open the battery compartment of the parent unit by sliding off the battery cover on the back of
the parent unit.
2. Insert the supplied battery pack into the battery compartment so that the metal contacts on the
battery pack contact with the connections of the parent unit and push down the battery pack
gently until it clicks.
3. Slide the battery cover back on the parent unit.
Only use the supplied Li-Polymer battery (3.7V, 950mAh).
Power adapter:
1. Connect the 6V power adapter with the small plug 6V DC to the outlet on the right side of the
baby unit.
2. Plug the adapter in a 230V power outlet.
Only use the supplied power adapter with the thin plug and model number
S006MV0600080.
Make sure the power adapter cannot lead to stumble or fall. Bundle
to long wires with tape or with specially designed for this purpose
available wire wraps.

Charging:
Once you have connected the parent unit to the power adapter and the adapter is plugged into a
230V power outlet, the battery will be charged.
• The indicator lights up. This indicator lights up when and as long as the battery is charging
and turns off when the battery is full.
• In case the parent unit is switched on and you have image, than the screen displays in the right
corner the status of the battery pack. This battery symbol shows as long as the battery pack is
charging. When the battery pack is fully charged, the symbol will remain entirely green. If this
symbol is red, the battery pack is almost empty.
• When charging for rst time, charge the battery pack for at least 15 hours, even though the
display indicates that the battery pack is full.
• The charging circuit for the battery pack is controlled electronically, there is no danger of over-
charging, so you can leave the adapter plugged in continuously. In case you don’t use the set for
a longer period of time, it is advisable to take the adapter from the wall outlet. When back into
use, rst charge the battery pack properly.
Antenna:
Place the antenna right up for the best possible use.
Use outdoors:
The parent unit is not waterproof. When used outdoors, protect the parent unit from moisture and
sand.
