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.

Removing the batteries
If you ever need to remove the batteries,
simply slide open the battery compartment

WARNING!
Only use the power adaptors
supplied. Using incorrect
power adaptors may

Battery performance
Rechargeable batteries
in the Parent unit will last
upto16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
purchased from
www.oricom.com.au.
