QuestionAnswer

Why does the charging time of the parent unit exceed 16 hours?

The specified operating range of the baby monitor is 300 metres/900 feet. Why does my baby monitor manage a much smaller distance than that?

Why is the connection lost every now and then? Why are there sound interruptions?

What happens during a power failure?

Is my baby monitor secure from eavesdropping and interference?

Some buttons do not seem to work when I press them. What do I do wrong?

The operating time of the parent unit is supposed to be at least 8 hours. Why is the operating time of my parent unit shorter?

You may have set a maximum room temperature that is lower than the actual room temperature or a minimum room temperature that is higher than the actual room temperature.This causes the display to be lit all the time, which results in higher power consumption and batteries that run low quickly.

Perhaps you have switched on the nightlight. If you want to use the nightlight, we advise you to run the baby unit on mains power.

The parent unit may be switched on during charging. Switch off the parent unit during charging.

The specified range is only valid outdoors in open air. Inside your house, the operating range is limited by the number type of walls and/or ceilings in between. Inside the house, the operating range will be up to 50 metres/150 feet.

The baby unit and the parent unit are probably close to the outer limits of the operating range.Try a different location or decrease the distance between the units. Please note that it takes about 30 seconds each time before a connection between the units is established.

If the parent unit is sufficiently charged, it will continue to operate during a power failure, both inside and outside the charger. If there are batteries in the baby unit, it will automatically switch to battery- operated use in case of power failure.

The DECT technology of this baby monitor guarantees no interference from other equipment and no eavesdropping.

You should press all buttons (except the on/off buttons and the TALK button) briefly. If you press them too long, they will not work.

When the parent unit batteries have been charged for the first time, the operating time will be less than 8 hours.The batteries only reach their full capacity after you have charged and discharged them at least four 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 on the parent unit may be set too high, which causes the parent unit to consume a lot of energy. Decrease the microphone sensitivity level on the parent unit.
