Your dial-up baby monitor
SBC SC469
Philips is committed to producing caring, reliable products that new
mothers and fathers really need. Products whose reliability and operating
quality bring reassurance.
Being both a regular wireless baby monitor and a dial-up unit in one, the
SBC SC469 gives you more freedom to move in and around the house and
garden while having the assurance that you can hear your baby wherever
your are.When the range of the regular baby monitor is out of range,
simply extend it by connecting the baby monitor to your (mobile) phone.
It works both ways,the dialler calls you when your baby makes a sound and
you can dial in to the baby unit to listen or speak to your baby.
