GETTING STARTED
Charge Baby
Connect Baby to a Single Charger or 5-Baby
Charger. For best results, charge Baby over-
night. A full charge takes four to six hours.
NOTICE! BABY BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Important charging advice for optimizing Baby’s battery life:
• Charge overnight, then unplug.
• Charge for a few hours at least once every three months if stored for long
periods of time.
• Do NOT leave Baby plugged in for extended periods of time
(longer than one month).
• Store indoors and in the plastic bag for optimal conditions. If not possible, every
attempt should be made to keep Baby dry and clean.
• If stored in a very cold or very hot environment, allow 24 hours for Baby to
adjust to a moderate temperature before use.
• Dramatic changes in temperature can cause water condensation inside Baby.
Allow time for the condensation to evaporate before use.
What Do Baby’s Lights Mean?
• Solid red – Baby is powered with greater than a
40 percent charge.
• Flashing red – Baby has less than a 40 percent charge.
• No red light – Baby battery is dead.
• Solid green – Baby is charging.
• Flashing green – Baby batteries are warming up; it will
take 5 to 15 minutes for the light to become solid green.
• Flashing Yellow light – Baby communication status when used with
RealCare Control Center software.
