What happens when there is a mains failure?

Why does the rechargeable battery pack of the parent unit not recharge?

The operating time of the parent unit is supposed to be at least 10 hours. Why is the operating time of my parent unit shorter?

Why does the charging light on the parent unit charger light up red continuously even when the battery pack is fully charged?

The baby unit may be out of range of the parent unit or there may be too many walls and/or ceilings between the two units.Try a different location or reduce the distance between the two units.

The non-rechargeable batteries of the baby unit or the rechargeable battery pack of the parent unit may be low. In that case, replace the batteries of the baby unit or recharge the battery pack of the parent unit.

The baby monitor operates on the same channel as another baby monitor in the neighbourhood. Set both units to a different channel with the channel selector.

The specified range of 200 metres/600 feet is only valid in open air. Inside the house, the range is limited by the number and type of walls and/or ceilings between the two units. Change the position of one or both units to optimise the range.

If you use the baby unit without non-rechargeable batteries, the connection between the parent unit and the baby unit will be lost when there is a mains failure. If there are batteries in the baby unit but the rechargeable battery pack of the parent unit is empty, the connection will also be lost. If there are non-reachargeable batteries in the baby unit and the battery pack of the parent unit is charged, the connection will not be lost.

The rechargeable battery pack has reached the end of its life. Replace the battery pack of the parent unit.

When the rechargeable battery pack of the parent unit has been charged for the first time, the operating time is less than 10 hours.The rechargeable battery pack only reaches its full capacity after you have charged and discharged it at least three times.

The volume of the parent unit may be set too high, which causes the parent unit to consume a lot of energy. Decrease the volume of the parent unit.

The microphone sensitivity level of the baby unit may be set too high, which causes the parent unit to consume a lot of energy. Decrease the microphone sensitivity level on the baby unit.

The charging light always lights up red as soon as the parent unit is placed in the plugged-in charger. It gradually dims when the batteries are fully charged but remains on to indicate that the charger is connected to the mains.
