Getting started
Baby unit battery installation
You can power up the baby unit by connecting it to AC power or to four
AA alkaline batteries. Even if the baby unit is connected to AC power, we
recommend you also install four AA alkaline batteries. This guarantees
continual operation in case of a power outage.
To install batteries:
Install four AA alkaline batteries (not supplied) into the battery
compartment, matching the polarity markings (+ and -) inside the
battery compartment.
Replace the battery compartment cover.
