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.
Install four AA alkaline batteries (not supplied) into the battery compartment,
matching the polarity markings (+ and -) inside the battery compartment.
Make sure the ribbon attached inside the battery compartment is put under
the batteries and the excess ribbon is tucked in properly. Then replace the
battery compartment cover.
Gently p ull the ribbon
and lift up to remove
the batteries
Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline and standard (carbon-
•
zinc) batteries.
The operating time for using AA batteries is short, only for a few hours. If you
•
want to monitor your baby for a long time, we recommend you connect your
baby unit to AC power.
If the baby unit will not be used for a long time, disconnect and remove the
•
battery to prevent possible leakage.
You can use rechargeable AA batteries for the baby unit, but the baby unit
•
cannot charge rechargeable batteries.

Appendix
Operating range
This product operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). Even so, this baby unit and parent unit can communicate over only
a certain distance - which can vary with the locations of the baby unit, the parent unit,
the weather, and the layout of your home.
When the parent unit is out of range, the parent unit displays Waiting for linking...
To improve reception, move closer to the baby unit (but not less than 3 feet).
Maintenance
Taking care of your video and audio monitor
Your video and audio monitor contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be
treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment
Place the baby unit and parent unit down gently. Save the original packing materials to
protect your video and audio monitor if you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water
Your video and audio monitor can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the parent
unit and/or baby unit outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the
video and audio monitor near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment.
For your own safety, take caution when using electrical appliances during storms.
Cleaning your video and audio monitor
Your video and audio monitor has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster
for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or mild soap.
Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or
standing in water. If the baby units and/or parent unit should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE
IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the units out by
the unplugged cords.

Appendix
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.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other
persons using wireless devices.
