Important safety information
Your BT Baby Monitor 150 is designed to be an aid and should
not be used as a substitute for responsible and proper adult
supervision.

Never place the Baby unit inside your baby’scot, bed
or playpen.
Never cover your Parent or Baby units (e.g. with clothes,
towels or blankets).
Never use or place your Parent or Baby units in moist places or
near water.
If travelling abroad, make sure that the voltage shown on the
mains power adapter corresponds to the local mains power
before connecting to the power supply.
There is a risk of explosion if the batteries are replaced by an

Always dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable
waste disposal regulations, never in your household rubbish.

Setting up
Parent unit
1. Plug the mains power cable into the socket marked on the
back of the Parent unit charger.
2. Remove the battery compartment cover and insert the 2 x AA
rechargeable batteries into the battery compartment on the
Parent unit and replace the battery compartment cover as
shown. You should always ensureyou have inserted batteries
in the Parent unit.
3. Slot the Parent unit into the charger, the red charging light
comes on. Charge the batteries for 16 hours before switching
on the Parent unit.
Note: if you ever need to remove the batteries, remove the
batterycompartment cover and tip the parent unit until they

Battery performance - Parent unit
Rechargeable batteries in the Parent
unit give up to 14 hours continuous
performance.
Please note however, that new batteries do
not reach full capacity until they have been
in normal use for several days.
Running rechargeable batteries right down
at least once a week will help them last as
long as possible. 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.
New batteries can be obtained from the BT
Baby Monitor Helpline 0808 100 6554*.
The Parent unit rechargeable batteries will
lose charge over a period of time, even if
switched off.
Battery low warning – Parent unit
When the batteries are low – approximately
within 1 hour and 30 minutes of running
out – the Parent unit icon will be
displayed on the screen.
If the batteries arecompletely flat the
Parent unit will switch off.
Place the Parent unit back on the charger
tocharge the batteries. It is advisable to
keep the Parent unit on the charger as
much as possible or ideally all the time.
To speed up the charging process turn the
Parent unit off when charging if it’s not
being used.
WARNING
The re-chargeable battery icon in
the batterycompartment means that only
re-chargeable batteries can be used.
Never use non-rechargeable batteries in
your Parent unit. Use only the
recommended type – 2 x AA rechargeable
(1300mAh NiMH) batteries – using other
types could permanently damage your unit.
Charge the batteries in accordance with the
instructions given in this user guide.
The Parent unit can still be used when it is
in the charger.

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0808 100 6554*
Battery performance – Baby unit

and is disconnected from the mains
power, you should ensure you remove
the batteries. This will prevent the
batteries discharging.
It is recommended that the same
batteries should not be used for more
than 48 hours continuously. Use of old
batteries may result in the unit not
functioning correctly and could
damage the Baby unit.
Batterylow warning – Baby unit
When the batteries are low –
approximately within 30 minutes
of running out – the Baby unit
icon will come on. However,this
will depend on the type of batteries
used.
Temperature range
The display shows temperatures
between 7oCand 33oC.
However, the features on your BT Baby
Monitor 150 have been designed to
work normally at any temperature
between 0oCand 40oC.

disconnected.
3. Replace the battery cover, turning the battery lock into the
vertical position again to lock it.
Check the connection
When both Units are switched on, the green link lights on both
Units will come on.
If the link between the Units is broken at any time, the link
lights will turn red and flash slowly.
At the Parent unit, you will also hear an alert signal (3 beeps
every 30 seconds) to warn you that there is no communication
between the Units. If this happens, check that the mains
power is plugged in and switched on at the Baby unit.
Also check that the Units are within range of one another.
