User Guide
Welcome
Thanks for buying a BT Baby
Monitor. You’ll soon be able to
relax knowing you can watch
and listen for your baby’s every
breath, gurgle and wriggle.
But rst things rst. To get set up, just follow
the steps below. If you need any help,
go to bt.com/producthelp or give us a
call on 0808 100 6554*.
Important safety notices
1. Your baby monitor is designed as just an aid.
It isn’t a substitute for responsible and proper
adult supervision.
2. Make sure all cables and units are out of your baby’s
reach – at least one metre away.
3. Never cover either unit, put them in moist places or
inside the cot, bed or playpen.
4. If you travel abroad, check the voltage on your unit’s
plugs match the local power output.
5. Do not take the product apart. You can’t change
the battery installed in the Parent unit. If you need
repairs, get in touch with our helpdesk.
Getting set up
1 Plug the cable into the Parent unit, then plug it into the
mains power socket and switch the socket on.
2Leave to charge for 12 hours.
Tip
The rst time you use the Parent unit, or if you haven’t
used it for a long time, it’ll take 12 hours to fully charge.
The battery life on a single charge lasts for 4 hours.
We recommend you keep the cable plugged into the
mains power socket if you’re going to use for longer than
this or throughout the night.
When the battery gets very low, it’ll take about 30
minutes to charge enough for you to use it for a
short time. To charge the Parent unit in the shortest
amount of time, turn it o while it’s charging.
3 Place the Baby unit near a power socket in the room
where you’re going to be monitoring your baby most of
the time. It should also be at least one metre away from
your baby.
4 Plug the cable into the Baby unit, then plug it into the
mains power socket and switch the socket on.
5Slide the
On Off
button on the side of the Baby unit up to
turn it on.
Tip
Keep the power cord out of baby’s reach by looping any
extra length and securing it.

from the Baby unit. Any closer and you might get audio
feedback sounds.

Parent unit on.
The Parent and Baby unit are automatically linked so
they are now ready to use.
What’s the range?
The maximum range between your Parent and Baby
units is about 250 metres outdoors and about 50 metres
indoors. Thick walls and doors reduce the units’ range
and aect how they link to each other.
