Safety information
Please read this user manual carefully before using your baby monitor and keep it for future
reference.This baby monitor is intended as an aid. It is not a substitute for responsible and
proper adult supervision and should not be used as such.
• Make sure the baby unit and adapter cable are always out of reach of the baby
(at least 1 meter / 3 feet away).
• Never place the baby unit inside the baby’s bed or playpen.
• Never cover the baby monitor (with a towel, blanket, etc.).
• Never use the baby monitor in moist places or close to water.
• Check if the voltage indicated on the type plate of the adapters (A-14, B-14) corresponds to
the local power voltage before connecting to the AC power supply.
• Do not expose the baby monitor to extreme cold, heat or light (e.g. direct sunlight).
• To prevent electric shock, do not open the case of the baby unit and parent unit
(except battery compartment covers).
• Risk of explosion if batteries are replaced by an incorrect type.
For the parent unit, always use rechargeable batteries.
Baby unit
The baby unit can be mains or battery operated.
When batteries are inserted, you will have an automatic back-up
in case of mains failure.
Mains operated use
1Connect the power adapter cord (A-14) to the power supply
jack (DC 9V / 300mA - A-13) of the baby unit.
2Connect the AC power adapter (A-14) to a wall outlet.
➜The baby unit is now ready for mains operated use!

5Place the parent unit in the charging base (B-15).
> The POWER light (B-16) lights up red.
6Leave the parent unit in the charging base until the batteries
are fully charged (at least 16 hours).
> The POWER light (B-16) will stay red, even when batteries
are fully charged.
> When the batteries are fully charged, the parent unit can be
taken out of the charging base and used cordlessly for at
least 8 hours.
> When the battery indicator ( ) in the display (B-8) is
empty and the parent unit beeps, battery power is low.
Place the parent unit in the charging base (B-16) to
recharge the batteries.
Notes:
– Operation time will be 8 hours based on the assumption that
the baby unit will be transmitting 25% of the time and is in
standby mode for the rest of the time (baby does not make
any sound).
– When the parent unit batteries are charged for the first time,
operating time will be less than 8 hours.The batteries will use
their maximum capacity after at least four times charging and
discharging.
– The charging time may be longer if you leave the parent unit
switched on while the batteries are charging.
➜The parent unit is now ready for use!

Question
The technical specifications
show an operating range of
300 meters / 900 feet outdoors.
How come my baby monitor
manages much less than that?
The link is lost every now and
then, sound interruptions etc.
What happens during a mains
failure?
Is my DECT baby monitor
secure from eavesdropping and
interference?
Frequently asked questions
19
Answer
The specified range is only valid outdoors in open air. Inside
your house the workable range is limited by the amount and
type of walls and/or ceilings in between. Inside the house the
operating range will be up to 50 meters / 150 feet.
You are probably approaching the outer limits of the practical
range.Try a different location or decrease the distance
between the units slightly. Please note that it takes about 30
seconds each time before a new link between the units is
established.
When batteries are installed in the both units, the units will
automatically switch over to battery use in case of mains
failure.
The 120 channels guarantee no interference from other
equipment.

Question
Some buttons do not seem to
work when I press them.
What do I do wrong?
I place the parent unit in the
charging base (B-15) but the unit
doesn’t function.
Operating time of the parent
unit batteries is supposed to be
at least 8 hours. How come the
battery operating time of my
parent unit is less?
Frequently asked questions
Answer
Except for the On/Off buttons (A-1, B-6), only press the
buttons briefly.
When the batteries of the parent unit are low, you have to
wait for up to 20 minutes after placing the unit in the charger
before the unit starts functioning.
When the parent unit batteries are charged for the first time,
operating time will be less than 8 hours.The batteries will use
their maximum capacity after at least four times charging and
discharging.
Maybe the volume setting is too high.When the volume is set
to a high level, the unit consumes more power. Set the volume
to a lower level (B-10).
Maybe the microphone sensitivity setting is too high.When
the sensitivity is set to a high level, the unit consumes more
power. Set the sensitivity to a lower level (B-10).
When the set maximum temperature is lower than the room
temperature, the unit consumes more power because the
display is continuously lit.This is also the case when the set
minimum temperature is higher than the room temperature.
