2.4 Parent Unit Battery Installation
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:
Press down on the large tab of the battery compartment cover and
pull it out.
Insert the small tabs of the battery into the slots inside the battery
compartment. Make sure the metallic contact is correctly oriented as
shown below. Push the battery into the battery compartment until it
clicks securely into place.

it clicks into place.
To replace the battery, press down on the large tab of the battery and
pull it out of the battery compartment, then follow the previous steps to
install the battery.
Notes
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.
