Never place either the parent or baby unit on antique or polished surfaces.
When you have set up your baby monitor, you will be able to hear the sounds in your baby’s room through the speaker on the parent unit. The green noise indication light will also flash with the sound volume level.
Note: If the connection between the parent and baby unit is broken at any time, the ‘Link’ light on the parent unit will flash, the parent unit will beep and the green noise indication light will no longer react to any sounds. To re-establish the link, please refer to page 15.

Note: It may take up to 8 seconds for the baby unit to transmit a signal to the parent unit to establish digital communication when low power mode is switched on.
At the baby unit:

If you are experiencing problems with your baby monitor, there are some quick and easy checks you can do to help solve the problem.
The parent and baby units will not power on
Please check that you have correctly installed the batteries in the parent unit and that the mains power for the baby unit and parent unit charging pod is connected and switched on.
The ‘Link’ light on the parent unit is flashing, the noise indication light is not functioning and you cannot hear sounds from your baby’s room
You may have moved out of range of the baby unit. Move the parent unit closer and wait 5 seconds for the ‘Link’ to re­establish.
You may need to manually re-establish the link. Turn both units off and then press and release the ‘Power’ button on the baby unit. Press and hold the ‘Power’ button for 2 seconds on the parent unit.
After a few seconds the green ‘Link’ light will come on.
You can’t hear your baby on the parent unit and the ‘Link’ light is still glowing steadily
Check that the volume on the parent unit is turned up.
You may need to increase the sensitivity of the parent unit. See page 14.
The baby monitor is making a high pitched ear-piercing noise
This can happen if the baby and parent unit are too close to each other. Move the parent unit further apart from the baby unit.
Clean the charging contacts with a soft, dry cloth.
If you are experiencing any difficulty after making the above checks, please call the helpdesk for further assistance.
