electric shock).

•

Always make sure that the devices are fully functioning before

use and check that the devices have suciently charged batteries

when on battery operation.

tact with hot surfaces or sharp-edged objects.

•

Do not use any additional parts that are not recommended by the

manufacturer or oered as equipment.

•

The plug-in power unit must be operated only from a power sup-

ply as specified on it.

•

The appliance should only be operated with the power unit pro-

vided.

•

After use, before cleaning and changing any accessory parts, the

power unit should always be disconnected.

Notes on handling batteries

Warning:

•

Swallowing batteries can be extremely dangerous. Keep batteries

out of the reach of small children. Should a battery be swallowed,

seek medical assistance immediately.

•

Batteries must not be recharged, taken apart, thrown into an open

fire or short circuited.

•

Batteries can contain toxins that are harmful to health and the en-

vironment. Always dispose of batteries in accordance with appli-

cable legal regulations. Do not dispose of batteries with the nor-

mal household waste.

6. Initial use

Baby unit

Operation with mains part

Position the baby unit so that it is in an elevated position and is not in proxi-

mity to any other devices that may cause interference.

Using the mains part plug, connect the baby unit to a socket.

The device automatically switches on.

The power LED will light up green.

To switch the device o press the ON/OFF button for at least 2 seconds or

unplug the mains part. The power LED will go out.

To switch the device on again press the ON/OFF button for approx. 2 seconds.

Parent unit

Set up the parent unit in the room where you are going to be.

Battery operation – charging

To ensure optimal safety, the parent unit is designed so that it can

only be operated with batteries inserted.

The battery must be charged for at least 16 hours before the device can be

first used independently of the mains; you may use the device during this

period.

Switch the parent unit on by pressing the button for 2 seconds. The power

LED of the parent unit will light up green. The device is active.

If the parent unit battery is low the unit will beep twice. If the device is not

connected to a socket, it will switch o automatically after a short period. The

power LED will go out.

21

Operation with mains part

Using the mains part plug, connect the parent unit incl. battery to a socket.

The device automatically switches on. The power LED will light up green.

If the mains part plug is unplugged the device will switch to battery operati-

on. The standby time will depend on the battery charge status.

To switch the device o press the

button for approx. 2 seconds, the power

LED will go out.

If there is no connection between the devices (baby unit not

switched on or out of range), an acoustic warning will sound on the

parent unit.

7. Settings

Adjusting the volume

You can adjust the volume in 5 levels on the parent unit by pressing the

or

button.

The sound intensity is also pictured using an LED noise level light

display so that the device can also be used by those with a hearing

impairment.

8. Useful information about the baby monitor

•

Battery operation of the baby monitor minimizes electrosmog from electri-

cal and magnetic alternating fields.

•

You can increase the range of the baby monitor by positioning the baby unit

as high up as possible near a door or window and ensuring that the batter-

ies are not too weak.

•

Other radio waves may interfere with the transmission of the baby monitor.

Therefore, do not position the baby monitor near devices such as micro-

waves, WLAN, etc.

22

•

The following other factors can interfere with the baby monitor’s transmis-

sion or shorten its range: covering the units, furniture, walls, houses, trees,

environmental factors (such as fog, rain).

9. Replacing/charging the batteries

If the batteries are too flat, then the units will switch o automatically. The

batteries must then be replaced or recharged (see Initial use).

•

When changing the batteries, use batteries of the same type,

make and capacity.

•

Always replace all batteries at the same time.

•

Use batteries free from heavy metals.

10. Storage and maintenance

The service life of the devices depends on careful use.

Important:

•

Remove the batteries from the parent unit if the unit is not in use

for an extended period.

•

You will get the maximum capacity from your battery if you run

down the battery at least once every 6 months. To do this, discon-

nect the device from the mains and run the battery down through

normal use. Then fully charge the battery up again.

•

The maximum battery capacity can only be reached after it has

been charged several times and is dependent on many factors

(battery state, ambient temperature, means and frequency of

charging, etc.).

•

Protect the devices from knocks, damp, dust, chemicals, drastic

changes in temperature, electromagnetic fields and nearby sourc-

es of heat (ovens, heaters).

•

If dirty, wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth.

23

•

Clean the device with a dry cloth. Do not use any abrasive clean-

ing products.

11. Disposal

For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the devices in the household

waste at the end of their useful life. Dispose of the unit at a suitable local col-

lection or recycling point. Observe the local regulations for material disposal.

Please dispose of the device in accordance with EC Directive –

WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment).

If you have any queries, please contact the appropriate local

authorities.
