4Important safety information
• ItisveryimportantthatyoureadtheUserGuidecarefully
as it contains detailed information you will need to get
the most from your Oricom baby monitor. If you have
any issues setting up or using your Oricom baby monitor
please call our Customer Support team. Our dedicated
localteamaremorelikelytobeabletohelpyouthanthe
retailer where you made your purchase.
• YourOricombabymonitorisdesignedtobeanaidand
should not be used as a substitute for responsible and proper
adult supervision of a child.
• Thebabymonitorhasbeendesignedtoprovidesome
added reassurance in the form of sound transmission
for those times when you are not in the same room as
your baby provided you always stay within hearing range
ofthebabymonitorduringuse.Yourbabymonitoris
not a medical device, nor a device to prevent cases of
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) or "cot death",
and you should not rely on it for your baby's wellbeing.
Itisimportantthatyouregularlycheckonyourbaby
personally.
• Makesurethebabyunit,parentunitandmainsadaptor
cablesarekeptoutofreachofyourbabyandotheryoung
children at all times, at least one metre away.
• Neverplacethebabyunitorparentunitinsideyourbaby’s
cot, bed or playpen.
• Nevercovertheparentorbabyunitswithclothes,towels
orblanketsoranyotheritem.Neveruseorplaceyour
parent or baby unit in or near moisture or water (e.g. near
bath or pool). Immersing in water could cause electric
shockandevendeath.
• Theinstallationlocationplaysanimportantroleinensuring
proper operation. Therefore, maintain a distance of at
least one metre from other electronic equipment, such as
microwaveovensorhi−devices,otherwisetheycould
cause interference. During continual use the baby unit
power adaptors may become warm to the touch. This is
normal and should not be a concern.
WARNING
Riskofsuffocation!
Keepallpackagingmaterials
and protective foils out of
reach of children.

PULL
WARNING!
Only use the power adaptors
supplied. Using incorrect
power adaptors may
permanently damage your
product.
Battery performance
Rechargeable batteries in
the Parent unit will last up
to16hoursduringnormal
operation this time may
beextendedwhenMuteis
switched on.
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
purchased from
www. oricom.com.au.
The Parent unit rechargeable
batteries will lose charge
over a period of time, even if
switched off.

process turn the Parent unit
offwhenchargingifit’snot
being used.
YoucanstilluseyourParent
unit to monitor your baby
even when the batteries
are low, provided it remains
plugged in and on charge.
WARNING
Always use rechargeable
batteries in the Parent unit.
Only use the recommended
type–2xAANiMH
1300mAhbatteries.
Using other types could

11Setting up
Important:
 Thelinkconrmation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ashgreenastheytrytosearchfor
eachother.After30seconds,ifthelinkisstill
brokentheywillash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

the batteries, simply
slide open the battery
compartment cover and
use the ribbon to eject the
batteries.

located at a distance from
one another, e.g. in separate
rooms.

Switch the Baby unit on
1. Press and hold the button for 1 second.
Thenightlightwillbrieyilluminateandthen
