Install the battery
You can power up the parent unit by connecting
it to AC power or to the rechargeable battery
provided. Even if the parent unit is connected to
AC power, we recommend you also install the
battery. This guarantees continual operation in
case of a power outage.
Install the battery as shown below.

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.
Use only the battery supplied with this
•
product.

Once you have installed the parent unit and
its battery, press and hold to turn it on. The
battery icon indicates the battery status (see
the table below). The parent unit battery is fully
charged after 12 hours of continuous charging.
The standby time varies depending on the
sensitivity level you set, your actual use and the
age of the battery.
When the parent unit is operating in battery
mode and the battery is low, you need to charge
the parent unit without interruption for at least
30 minutes to give the parent unit enough
charge to use for a short time. When operating

Frequently asked questions
Below are the questions most frequently asked about
the baby monitor. If you cannot find the answer to
your question, contact customer service by visiting our
website at www.vtechphones.com or
calling 1 (800) 595-9511.
Why does the baby
monitor not respond
normally?
Try the following (in the
order listed) for common
sure:
1. Disconnect the power to
the baby units and the
parent unit.
2. Remove the batteries
in the parent unit. Then
install the batteries
again.
3. Wait a few minutes
before connecting
power back to the baby
units and the parent
unit.
4. Turn on the baby units
and the parent unit.
5. Wait for the parent unit
to synchronize with the
baby units. Allow up to
one minute for this to
take place.
Why don’t the power-on
light of the baby unit
and parent unit go on
when I switch on the
units?
Why does the baby
monitor produce a
high-pitched noise?
Why does the parent
unit react too quickly to
other sounds?
Why don’t I hear a
sound/Why can’t I hear
my baby cry?
Why does the parent
unit beep?
Perhaps the rechargeable
battery of the parent unit
is empty and the parent
unit is not connected
to the mains. Insert the
appliance plug into the
parent unit and put the
adapter in a wall socket.
Then press to switch
on the parent unit and to
establish connection with
the baby unit.
Perhaps the baby unit
is not connected to the
mains. Connect the baby
unit to the mains. Then
set ON/OFF switch to ON
to switch on the baby unit
and to establish
connection with the
parent unit.
The units may be too
close to each other. Make
sure the parent unit and
the baby unit at least 1
metre/3 feet away from
each other.
The baby unit also picks
up other sounds than
those of your baby. Adjust
the sensitivity level to a
lower level or adjust the
speaker volume on the
parent unit.
You may have set the
sensitivity level to a very
low level. If you do so, the
baby unit will not detect
sounds that is too soft
or light. You may need to
adjust the sensitivity level
to a higher level.
The baby units may be
out of range. Move the
parent unit closer to the
baby units (but not less
than 3 feet).
If the parent unit is
powered by the provided
battery, it may not have
enough charge for the
parent unit to perform
normally. Charge the
battery in the parent unit
for up to 12 hours.
Why can’t I establish a
connection? Why is the
connection lost every
now and then? Why are
there sound
interruptions?
The baby units may be
out of range. Move the
parent unit closer to the
baby units (but not less
than 3 feet).
Other electronic products
may cause interference
with your baby monitor.
Try installing your baby
monitor as far away from
these electronic devices
as possible.
