Preparing for use
IMPORTANT: Read the safety instructions carefully before you use
the baby monitor and keep them for future reference.
Baby unit
We advise you to use the baby unit connected to the mains. To guarantee
automatic power backup in case of mains failure, you can insert four
1.5VAA alkaline batteries (not included).
Do not use rechargeable batteries. The baby unit does not have a
charging function and rechargeable batteries discharge slowly when they
are not in use.
Parent unit
The parent unit runs on two rechargeable batteries that are supplied with
the baby monitor. Charge the parent unit before you use it for the rst
time and when the batteries are low.
Please note that for the SCD730 / SCD731/ SCD733/xx, you
have to charge the parent unit for the full 10 hours to have a
cordless operating time of 18 hours. For the SCD734 / SCD735 and
SCD733/26: the charging time is 14 hours and the operating time is
25 hours.
Note: When you start using the baby monitor, it takes 4 charge and
discharge cycles before the rechargeable batteries reach their full
capacity.
Using the baby monitor
Positioning the baby monitor
Keep the baby unit out of the reach of the baby. Never place
the baby unit inside the baby’s bed or playpen.
- Because the cord of the baby unit presents a potential strangulation
hazard, make sure that the baby unit and its cord are at least
1metre/3.5 feet away from your baby.
- To prevent a high-pitched sound from one or both units, make sure
that the parent unit is at least 1 metre/3.5 feet away from the baby
unit.

Linking parent unit and baby unit
1 Press and hold the button on the baby unit for 2 seconds until the
power-on light goes on.
2 Press and hold the button on the parent unit for 2 seconds until the
display lights up. The ‚link‘ light on the parent unit starts ashing red
and the message ‚I AM LINKING‘ appears on the display.
When the parent unit and baby unit are linked, the ‚link‘ light turns
solid green. The signal strength indicator and the message ‚LINKED‘
appear on the display.
If no connection is established, the message ‚NOT LINKED‘ is displayed
and the parent unit starts and the parent unit starts to beep.
What to do if no link is established
- If the parent unit is out of range, place it closer to the baby unit, but
not closer than 1 metre/3.5 feet.
- If the baby or parent unit is too close, <2 m/6.5 ft away from another
DECT appliance (e.g. a cordless phone), switch o this appliance or
move the unit away from this appliance.
- If the baby unit is switched o, switch it on.
Operating range
- The operating range is 330 metres/1000 feet outdoors and up to
50metres/150 feet indoors.
- The operating range of the baby monitor varies depending on the
surroundings and factors that cause interference. Wet and moist
materials cause so much interference that the range loss is up to
100%. For interference from dry materials, see the table below.
Dry materials Material thickness Loss of range
Wood, plaster, cardboard, glass
(without metal, wires or lead)
< 30 cm (12 in) 0-10 %
Brick, plywood < 30 cm (12 in) 5-35 %
Reinforced concrete < 30 cm (12 in) 30-100 %
Metal grilles or bars < 1 cm (0.4 in) 90-100 %
Metal or aluminium sheets < 1 cm (0.4 in) 100 %
