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 :
- Press down and turn (See Diagram).
- Remove the battery cover from the parent unit and insert the rechargeable batteries, making sure they are the correct way round
as indicated. (See Diagram)
- Replace the battery cover.
Recharging and using from the mains

the charging process, you can turn it off.
