5. How the app works

BY 99

Smartphone, Tablet, PCWLAN-Router

24

Local

Internet

Note

If there is an active internet connection, the camera sends all recordings via the Hubble server.

This is of vital importance when setting up the camera. Not all functions are available if there

is no active internet connection (limited functionality)

.

•

You can increase the range of the camera by placing it as high as possible near a door or

a window.

•

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

fore, do not position the baby monitor near devices such as microwaves, etc.

•

The following other factors can interfere with the baby monitor’s transmission or shorten its

range: furniture, walls, houses, trees, environmental factors (such as fog, rain).

Note

On the Hubble homepage (http://beurer.hubbleconnected.com), you can activate the record-

ing function at an additional charge. When the recording function is activated, events trig-

gered by movements are automatically recorded and saved onto the Hubble server so that

they can be viewed later.

The transmission image and the timeline can only be displayed via the web portal. Other func-

tions/settings options (such as the intercom function) are not available.

11. Useful information about the baby monitor

•

If you operate the parent unit with the battery, this minimises electrosmog from electrical

and magnetic alternating fields.

•

You can increase the range of the baby monitor by positioning the camera as high up as

possible near a door or window and ensuring that the battery is not too weak.

•

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

fore, do not position the baby monitor near devices such as microwaves, WLAN, etc.

•

The following other factors can interfere with the baby monitor’s transmission or shorten its

range: furniture, walls, houses, trees, environmental factors (such as fog, rain).

12. Maintenance and cleaning

The service life of the camera and the parent unit depend on careful handling.

IMPORTANT

•

Remove the battery from the parent unit if the Video Baby Monitor is not in use for an ex-

tended period.

•

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

once every six months. To do this, disconnect the parent unit from the mains and run the

battery down through normal use. Then fully charge the battery up again.

33

•

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 camera and the parent unit from knocks, damp, dust, chemicals, drastic changes

in temperature, electromagnetic fields and nearby sources of heat (ovens, heaters).

•

Clean the camera/parent unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaning prod-

ucts.

13. What if there are problems?
