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.
