• Your BT Digital Baby Monitor 250 is designed to be an aid and should not be used
as a substitute for responsible and proper adult supervision.
• Make sure the Baby unit, Parent unit and mains adapter cables are kept out of
reach of your baby – at least one metre away.
• Never place the Baby unit inside your baby’s cot, bed or playpen.
• Never cover your Parent or Baby units (e.g. with clothes, towels or blankets).
• Never use or place your Parent or Baby units in moist places or near water.
• If travelling abroad, make sure that the voltage shown on the mains power
adapter corresponds to the local mains power before connecting to the
power supply.
• There is a risk of explosion if the batteries are replaced by an incorrect type.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
• Always dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable waste disposal
regulations, never in your household rubbish.
• During continual use the Baby unit and Parent unit power adapters may become
warm to the touch. This is normal and is not something to be concerned about.
• In the event of a power failure, when the power is restored all your settings will
remain unchanged.

WARNING!
Only use the power adapters
supplied. Using incorrect power
adapters may permanently
damage your product.
Battery performance
Rechargeable batteries
in the Parent unit will last
approximately 20 hours in
normal use. Please note that
new batteries do not reach full
capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
The charge capacity of
rechargeable batteries will
reduce with time as they
wear out, so reducing the
performance time of the Parent
unit. Eventually they will need
to be replaced. New batteries
can be obtained from the
BT Digital Baby Monitor 250
Helpline 0808 100 6554*.
Parent unit
1. Plug one of the power adapter cables into the
socket marked
on the back of the Parent unit
charger and plug the other end into the mains
power wall socket and switch the power on.
2. Activate the batteries by pulling the plastic tab
away from the bottom of the Parent unit.
Setting up
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on Freephone 0808 100 6554* or visit www.bt.com/producthelp

3. Place the Parent unit into the charger. The red
charging light will illuminate on the charger and
the battery icon will start scrolling on the Parent
unit display to indicate that the batteries are
being charged.
9K9XYpDfe`kfi
Leave the batteries to charge for 16 hours to reach
maximum charge. When the batteries are fully
charged the battery icon on the display will show a
full charge
.
The Parent unit rechargeable
batteries will lose charge over
a period of time, even if
switched off.
Battery low warning –
Parent unit
When the batteries are low –
approximately within 1 hour of
running out – the Parent unit
will emit a low battery alert,
the low battery indicator will
turn red, the display will show
Low Batter y and the icon
will flash. Place the Parent unit
back on the charger to charge
the batteries.
To speed up the charging
process turn the Parent unit
off when charging if it’s not
being used.
You can still use your Parent
unit to monitor your baby
even when the batteries are
low, provided it remains in the
charger cradle to re-charge
the batteries.
