II - INSTALLING THE BABY MONITOR
Contents :
• 1 child unit
• 1 parent unit
• 2 adapters
• 2 rechargeable batteries NiMH 1.2V, 550mAh type AAA for the parent unit
• 1 user guide
1) Advice to obtain high quality reception:
The baby monitor is equipped with D.E.C.T (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication) digital technology. It is designed to
connect you automatically, using a private channel, while giving out a clear sound, without interference or parasites. Thanks to the
DECT technology, listening is not disturbed because the units connect up automatically on other channels if interference is detected.
IMPORTANT :
For better sound quality, place the transmitter 1.5/2 metres away from the baby. Check the reception regularly. Place the receiver far
enough away from the transmitter to avoid interference. It may be that the maximum distance has been reached if, when using the
baby monitor, the sound quality deteriorates. In this case you should move the receiver closer to the transmitter. Adjust the volume to
a reasonable level for your surroundings.
2) Using for the first time:
When you buy the product the rechargeable batteries are wrapped separately and are not already in the parent unit. It is necessary
to charge the batteries.
Installing the batteries in the parent unit:
- Remove the battery cover from the parent unit and insert the rechargeable batteries, placing them the right way round as indicated
(see Diagram)
- Replace the battery cover.
Recharging and using from the mains
It is essential to fully charge the parent unit before using. You can use the parent unit while it is charging or, if you wish to speed up
the charging process, you can turn it off.
The indicator light on the parents’ unit flashes red when charging.
When you use the parent unit plugged into the mains, it is preferable to leave the batteries in the unit. Before first use, you need to
leave the parent unit plugged in for 8 hours in order for it to fully charge.
The baby unit works only from the mains.
Plug an adapter onto each unit.
WARNING: Use only the adapters supplied with the product.
Plug the adapter into a wall socket.
