PROPER USE
This equipment is exclusively intended for private (nonprofessional) use in closed rooms for
monitoring babies. All other forms of use are improper and can lead to hazards. Always follow the
instructions provided in this user guide. No liability is accepted for any loss or damage resulting from
improper use. The user of the equipment is exclusively responsible for all risks.
SAFETY
Risk of electric shock
DANGER
Contact with conductors or components under electrical tension can be lethal.
Observe the following safety instructions in order to avoid the risk of electric shock:
• To avoid the risk of damage to the equipment, use only the AC mains adapter supplied with the
equipment.
• Do not use the equipment if the AC mains adapter, the power cable or the plug is damaged.
• Never open the enclosure of the AC mains adapter. There is a risk of electric shock if you touch
any contacts or connections under electrical tension or if you modify the electrical or
mechanical construction.
• Protect the equipment against moisture and moisture penetration, and keep it free of dust.
Unplug the AC mains adapter immediately in case of contact with moisture.
• Unplug the AC mains adapter in case of malfunctions, during thunderstorms, and when cleaning
the equipment.
• Protect the cable against contact with hot surfaces or other sources of hazard, and do not allow it to
be pinched.

Using Batteries (regular or rechargeable
CAUTION!
Failure to use batteries according to instructions can be hazardous.
• Always use batteries (regular or rechargeable) of the same type.
• Ensure that batteries are installed with correct polarity. Damage to the batteries and the equipment
can result from installation with incorrect polarity.
• Never toss batteries into a fire, due to the risk of explosion.
• Never allow battery terminals to come into contact with each other or with metal objects, either
intentionally or accidentally. This can cause overheating, fire or explosion.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Consult a doctor immediately in case of swallowing.
• Fluid from leaking batteries can cause permanent damage to the equipment. Take particular care
when handling damaged or leaking batteries, due to the risk of corrosion. Wear safety gloves.
• Remove the batteries if the equipment will not be used for an extended period.
General rules for safe use
To ensure safe use of the equipment, always observe the following safety instructions:
• The equipment must always be assembled by an adult. During assembly, keep small parts out of
the reach of children.
• Do not allow children to play with the equipment or parts of the equipment.
• Ensure that the babyphone and power cable are always out of the reach of the baby.
• Never cover the babyphone with a towel, blanket etc.
• Defective components must always be replaced by original replacement parts, as other
components may not fulfil the safety standards.
• Switch off your babyphone whenever this is requested by a sign, poster, or other message. The
equipment used in hospitals and other health care facilities may be sensitive to high-frequency
signals from external sources.

OPERATION
The babyphone consists of two units: one for the parents and one for the baby. They are connected
by a wireless link compliant with the 2,4 GHz FHSS standard. Thanks this digital technology, this
equipment is protected against eavesdropping and immune to interference from other equipment.
The baby unit starts transmitting as soon as the microphone picks up a sound. The sound is
reproduced by the parent unit. The microphone sensitivity can be adjusted by the user
(see “10.13 Voice activated transmission (VOX)”).
The babyphone can never replace proper supervision
by an adult; it only provides support.
