• Your BT Digital Baby Monitor 200 is designed to be an aid and should not be used
as a substitute for responsible and proper adult supervision.
• Make sure the Baby unit, Parent unit and mains adapter cables are kept out of
reach of your baby – at least one metre away.
• Never place the Baby unit inside your baby’s cot, 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 incorrect type.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
• Always dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable waste disposal
regulations, never in your household rubbish.
• During continual use the Baby unit and Parent unit power adapters may become
warm to the touch. This is normal and is not something to be concerned about.
• In the event of a power failure, when the power is restored all your settings will
remain unchanged.

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. New batteries
can be obtained from the
BT Digital Baby Monitor 200
Helpline 0808 100 6554*.
Parent unit
1. 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.
2. Activate the batteries by pulling the plastic tab
away from the bottom of the Parent unit.

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on Freephone 0808 100 6554* or visit www.bt.com/producthelp

WARNING
Never use non-rechargeable

batteries. Using other types
could permanently damage
the unit. Charge the batteries

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.
Once the units are linked, the green Link indicators
on the Parent and Baby units will stop flashing and
remain a steady green. The units are now ready to use.
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)

With Mute All switched on, if your baby starts to cry
you will not be able to hear the cries but if the cries
sound above a certain level i.e. if they reach 83dB,
which is the 1st red Baby sound level LED, then the
Parent unit will emit an audible beep.
The crying alert is a ‘user alert’ as described on page 21.

Once the Mute Low sound
threshold has been exceeded,
baby sounds will be able to be
heard for a further six seconds
even if they do not reach the
Mute Low threshold.
Mute Low
For discreet operation, when you do not wish to
hear any low level sounds, you can still monitor
your baby using the Baby sound level LED indicators
(page 15).
When Mute Low is switched on, any sounds from
the Baby unit to the Parent unit will be muted
unless a sound is made above a set level. The set
level are sounds that are louder than the first two
green LEDs would register, as described in ‘Baby
sound level indications’ on page 15. If the Parent
unit receives sound up to the level of the first two
LEDs then they will turn amber but no sound will be
heard, if the sound rises above this level then the
unit will un-mute so you can hear the sounds.
1. To switch Mute Low on, press the button
located on the top of the Parent unit. The Mute
indicator will turn amber.
2. To switch Mute Low off, press the button again.
