Warning!
Only use the power adapters supplied. Using incorrect
power adapters may permanently damage your product.
Battery performance
Rechargeable batteries in the Parent unit will last approximately 20
hours in normal use. Please note that new batteries do not reach full
capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with
time as they wear out, so reducing the performance time of
the Parent unit. Eventually they will need to be replaced.

8
SETTING UP
Parent unit
Plug one of the power adapter cables into the socket marked
on the back of the Parent unit charger and plug the other end
into the mains power wall socket and switch the power on.
Activate the batteries by pulling the plastic tab
away from the bottom of the Parent unit.

9
SETTING UP
Place the Parent unit into the charger. The red charging
light will illuminate on the charger and the battery
icon will start scrolling on the Parent unit display to
indicate that the batteries are being charged.
Leave the batteries to charge for 16 hours to reach
maximum charge. When the batteries are fully charged the
battery icon on the display will show a full charge .
Battery low warning – Parent unit
When the batteries are low – approximately within 1 hour
of running out – the Parent unit will emit a low battery alert,
the low battery indicator will turn red, the display will show
Low Battery and the icon will flash. Place the Parent
unit back on the charger to charge the batteries.
To speed up the charging process turn the Parent
unit off when charging if it’s not being used.
You can still use your Parent unit to monitor your baby
even when the batteries are low, provided it remains
in the charger cradle to re-charge the batteries.

SETTING UP
Baby unit
Plug the remaining power adapter cable into the
socket marked on the back of the Baby unit and plug
the other end into the mains power and switch on.
Warning
Never use non-rechargeable batteries in the
Parent unit. Only use the recommended type – 2
x AA NiMH 1300mAh batteries. Using other types
could permanently damage the unit. Charge the
batteries as instructed in this user guide. The Parent
unit can still be used when it is in the charger.

compartment cover and use the ribbon to eject the batteries.

SETTING UP
Positioning your units
The Baby unit should ideally be within 1m-2m
of your baby for best performance.
If you place the Parent and Baby units too close together you will
hear a high pitched noise, this is normal. The units are designed to
be located at a distance from one another, e.g. in separate rooms.
Important:
The link confirmation between the two units is vital for use so
they can communicate. If the link between the units is broken
at any time, the Link indicators on the Parent and Baby units
will flash green as they try to search for each other. After
30 seconds, if the link is still broken they will flash red and
you will also hear an alert signal from the Parent unit.
If the link is broken:
• check that the mains power is plugged in
and switched on at the Baby unit
• check that both units are switched on
• check that the batteries are charged in the Parent unit
• check that the Parent and Baby units are within
range of each other (in ideal conditions the range is
up to 300 metres outdoors and 50m indoors)
