What’s in the box

1 set for DM226; 2 sets for DM226-2

Install the battery

The parent unit runs on rechargeable battery or AC power. To continuously monitor your baby, make sure you use both battery and AC power at the same time. With the battery alone, the parent unit can cordlessly run for a short time only.

• Use only the battery supplied with this product.

• The operating time for using the rechargeable battery is short. If you want to monitor your baby for a long time, we recommend you connect the parent unit to AC power.

• If the parent unit will not be used for a long time, disconnect and remove the battery to prevent possible leakage.

Install the battery as shown below

• Make sure the THIS SIDE UP is facing up while inserting the battery.

Replace the battery

To replace the battery, pull out the battery compartment cover, and then lift up the battery. Follow the previous steps to install the battery.

Connect and charge the battery

• Use only the power adapters supplied with this product.

• Make sure the electrical outlets are not controlled by wall switches.

• The power adapters are intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.

• Make sure the parent unit, the baby unit and the power adapter cords are out of reach of children.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers

Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless devices):

Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless devices and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:

Pacemaker patients

• Should keep wireless devices at least six inches from the pacemaker.

• Should NOT place wireless devices directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.

Stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme

Les simulateurs cardiaques (ne s’applique qu’aux dispositifs numériques sans ﬁl):

L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)’, une ﬁrme de recherche indépendante, a mené une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre les téléphones sans ﬁl portatifs et les stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme. Appuyée par l’Administration des aliments et drogues (FDA) des États-Unis, la ﬁrme WTR recommande aux médecins:

Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques

• Vous devriez maintenir les dispositifs sans ﬁl à au moins six pouces du simulateur cardiaque.

• Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans ﬁl directement sur le stimulateur cardiaque, tel que dans une poche de chemise, lorsque celui-ci est en marche.

L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas identiﬁé de risque pour les détenteurs de simulateurs cardiaques causés par les gens qui utilisent dispositifs sans ﬁl à proximité de ceux-ci.
