Next, connect the parent unit and baby unit to a power supply with the included power adapters. Make
sure the power jack is inserted firmly. Then, switch them on by pressing and holding
on each respective unit. If you have two baby units, make sure they are both connected to power and
turned on.
The parent unit takes eight hours of continuous charging to fully charge and be ready for optimal use. In
the meantime, why not take a break or play with the kids?
Note: The battery standby time also varies depending on the sensitivity level you set, your actual use and
the age of the batteries.

After you power on both your baby unit and parent unit, the baby unit's power light turns on.
Allow some time for the parent unit and baby unit to connect to each other.
If the parent unit is out of range of the baby unit, or the baby unit is out of power, the parent unit beeps
and its LCD displays NOT LINKED. If that occurs:
• Move the parent unit closer to the baby unit.
• Make sure the baby unit is powered on.

gap, then dig and lift the faceplate upwards.
(2) Gently pull the faceplate free starting from the bottom section.
(3) Once the bottom section is free, continue unfastening the top section of the faceplate.
3. Select your desired faceplate to insert back onto the unit.
4. Attach the faceplate.
