8. Useful information about the baby monitor
• If you operate the parent unit with the battery, this minimizes electro smog from
electrical and magnetic alternating elds.
• You can increase the range of the baby monitor by positioning the camera as
high up as possible near a door or window and by ensuring that the battery is not too weak.
• Other radio waves may possibly interfere with the transmission of the baby
monitor. Therefore, do not position the baby monitor near devices such as microwaves, Wi-Fi, WLAN etc.
• The following other factors can interfere with the baby monitor’s transmission
or shorten its range: other electrical equipment, furniture walls, houses, trees, environmental factors (such as fog, rain).
9. Maintenance and cleaning
Remove the battery from the baby unit if the video baby monitor is not in use for an extended period.
The service life of the baby and parent unit depend on careful use:
WARNING
• You will get the maximum capacity from your battery if you run down the battery at least once every six months. To do this, disconnect the baby and parent unit from the mains and run the battery down through normal use. Then fully charge the battery up again.
• The maximum battery capacity can only be reached after it has been charged several times and is dependent on many factors (battery state, ambient temperature, and frequency of charging, etc.).
• Protect the camera and the parent unit from knocks, damp, dust, chemicals, drastic changes in temperature, electromagnetic elds and nearby sources of heat (ovens, heaters).
• Never use the camera in a damp environment.
• Clean the camera/parent unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaning products.
