Preparing for use
IMPORTANT: Read the safety instructions carefully before you use the baby monitor
and keep them for future reference.
Baby unit
We advise you to use the baby unit on electrical power. To guarantee automatic power backup in
case of a power failure, you can insert four 1.5V AA alkaline batteries (not included).
Do not use rechargeable batteries. The baby unit does not have a charging function and
rechargeable batteries discharge slowly when they are not in use.
Parent unit
The parent unit runs on two rechargeable batteries that are supplied with the baby monitor. Charge
the parent unit before you use it for the rst time and when the batteries are low.
Please note that you have to charge the parent unit for the full 10 hours to have a
cordless operating time of 18 hours.
Note: When you start using the baby monitor, it takes four charge and discharge cycles before the
rechargeable batteries reach their full capacity.
Using the baby monitor
Positioning the baby monitor
Keep the baby unit out of the reach of the baby. Never place the baby unit inside the baby’s bed
or playpen.
- Because the cord of the baby unit presents a potential strangulation hazard, make sure that the
baby unit and its cord are at least 1 meter/3.5 feet away from your baby.
- To prevent a high-pitched sound from one or both units, make sure the parent unit is at least
1 meter/3.5 feet away from the baby unit.
