For better image quality, do not place the baby unit too far away from your baby.

For desktop usage and/or wall mounting the baby unit, you can refer to Installation guide.

Operating range

The operating range of the baby monitor is up to 1,000 feet outdoors or 150 feet indoors. The actual operating range may vary depending on the environmental conditions and other interferences such as walls, doors and other obstructions.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the product.

The product is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Cautions

Use and store the product at a temperature

between 32oF and 104oF.

Do not expose the product to extreme cold, heat or direct sunlight. Do not put the product close to a heating source.

Make sure the baby unit(s) and the adapter cord(s) are always out of reach of the baby, at least 3 feet away from the baby or crib, to avoid a possible strangulation hazard.

Mesures de sécurité importantes

Lorsque vous utilisez votre appareil, vous devriez toujours suivre certaines mesures de précaution de base afin de réduire les risques d’incendie, d’électrocution et de blessures corporelles, dont ceux qui suivent :

Observez toutes les instructions et mises en garde inscrites sur l’appareil.

L’installation par un adulte est requise. Ce produit a été conçu pour être un dispositif

d’appoint seulement. Il n’est pas le remplacement d’une supervision responsable et adéquate par un adulte et ne devrait pas être utilisé comme telle.

Ce produit n’est pas conçu pour être utilisé en tant que moniteur médical.

N’utilisez pas cet appareil près de l’eau ni de toute autre source d’humidité, par exemple, près d’une baignoire, cuve à lessive, évier de cuisine, dans un sous-sol humide ni près d’une piscine, dans un soussol humide ou une douche.

N’utilisez que les adaptateurs inclus avec ce produit. L’utilisation d’un adaptateur dont la polarité ou la tension serait inadéquate risque d’endommager sérieusement le produit et mettre votre sécurité en péril. Adaptateur de l’unité du bébé : Entrée 100-240V CA 150mA 50/60 Hz; Sortie : 6 V CC 600 mA

Lorsqu’ils sont branchés dans une prise de courant, les adaptateurs secteur ont été conçus pour être orientés correctement, soit à la verticale ou au plancher. Les broches n’ont pas été conçues pour supporter le poids du bloc d’alimentation et le maintenir en place si celuici est branché dans une prise au plafond, sous une table ou dans un meuble.

Débranchez ce produit de la prise de courant avant de procéder au nettoyage. N’utilisez pas de nettoyants en aérosols. Utilisez un chiffon humide pour le nettoyer.

Ne coupez pas les cordons d’alimentation pour remplacer les fiches, car ceci peut présenter un danger potentiel.

Ne laissez aucun objet reposer ni appuyer sur le cordon d’alimentation. N’installez pas cet appareil dans un endroit où l’on risque d’écraser le cordon d’alimentation ou de le piétiner.

11. Ne faites fonctionner cet appareil qu’avec le type d’alimentation indiqué sur l’étiquette. Si vous ne connaissez pas le type d’alimentation que vous possédez à votre domicile, consultez votre marchand ou votre compagnie locale d’électricité.

12. Ne surchargez pas les prises de courant murales ni les rallonges électriques.

13. Ne placez pas cet appareil sur un chariot, meuble, trépied, support de montage ni table chancelants.

14. Les trous et ouvertures du boîtier, situés à l’arrière de l’appareil ou sous celui-ci, servent à aérer l’appareil. Pour l’empêcher de surchauffer, ne bloquez sous aucun prétexte ces ouvertures et n’empêchez pas l’aération adéquate de l’appareil en le plaçant sur un lit, divan, tapis ou toute autre surface similaire. De même, ne le positionnez pas à proximité ni au-dessus d’une source de chaleur ou d’un calorifère. De plus, ne placez pas l’appareil dans un endroit avant de vous assurer qu’il y ait une bonne circulation d’air.

15. N’enfoncez jamais d’objets à travers les ouvertures de cet appareil, car ils pourraient entrer en contact avec des points de tension dangereux ou causer des courts-circuits qui peuvent dégénérer en incendies ou en risques d’électrocution. Ne renversez jamais de liquide dans ce produit.

16. Afin de réduire les risques d’électrocution, ne démontez pas cet appareil, mais apportez-le dans un centre de service autorisé. L’ouverture du boîtier ou le retrait de toutes pièces que contient cet appareil, à l’exception de l’accès autorisé à certaines portes ou ouvertures, risque de vous exposer à des points de tension dangereux ou d’autres dangers. Un remontage incorrect peut par la suite présenter des risques d’électrocution.

17. Vous devriez tester la réception chaque fois que vous mettez l’appareil en fonction.

18. Examinez les composantes afin de vérifier si celles-ci ne sont pas endommagées.

19. Soyez avisé de la perte de la confidentialité lorsque vous utilisez les ondes publiques. Les conversations peuvent être entendues par d’autres moniteurs de bébé, des téléphones sans fil, des scanneurs, etc.

10.

20. Les enfants devraient être supervisés afin de vous assurer qu’ils ne jouent pas avec l’appareil.

21. Le produit n’est pas conçu pour être utilisé par des personnes (incluant des enfants) aux capacités physiques, sensorielles ou mentales réduites ou qui manquent d’expérience et de connaissances, à moins qu’on leur ait donné suffisamment de supervision ou d’instructions relativement à l’utilisation de l’appareil par une personne responsable de leur sécurité.

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS

Mises en garde

Utilisez et entreposez le produit à une

température entre 0˚ C (32˚F) et 40˚C (104˚ F).

N’exposez pas cet appareil à des froids ou des chaleurs extrêmes, ainsi qu’à la lumière directe du soleil. Ne l’installez pas près d’une source de chauffage.

Assurez-vous que le moniteur et le cordon de l’adaptateur sont toujours hors de portée des enfants, à au moins 1 mètre (3 pieds) de l’enfant ou du berceau, pour éviter tout risque de strangulation.

Ne jamais placer le moniteur à l’intérieur du berceau ou du parc de bébé. Ne jamais couvrir le moniteur ou l’unité (s) portative avec un article tel une serviette ou une couverture.

D’autres équipements électroniques peuvent produire des interférences sur votre moniteur vidéo et audio. Tentez d’installer votre moniteur vidéo ou audio à l’écart des appareils électroniques tels que des routeurs sans fil, radios, téléphones cellulaires, interphones, moniteurs, téléphones, ordinateurs personnels, électroménagers et téléphones sans fil.

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.

•

For cETL compliance only

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.
