The technical specifications show an operating range of 300 meters / 900 feet outdoors. How come my baby monitor manages much less than that?

The link is lost every now and then, sound interruptions etc.

What happens during a power supply failure?

Is my DECT baby monitor secure from eavesdropping and interference?

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

Operating time of the parent unit batteries is supposed to be at least 8 hours. How come the battery operating time of my parent unit is less?

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

You are probably approaching the outer limits of the practical range.Try a different location or decrease the distance slightly. Please note that it takes about 30 seconds each time before a new link between the units is established.

When batteries are installed in the both units, the units will automatically switch over to battery use in case of power supply failure.

The 60 (for NA FCC / IC) channels guarantee no interference from other equipment.

Except for the On/Off buttons and TALK button (A-1, B-5), only press the buttons briefly.

When the parent unit batteries are charged for the first time, operating time will be less than 8 hours.The batteries will use their maximum capacity after at least four times charging and discharging.

Maybe the volume setting is too high.When the volume is set to a high level, the unit consumes more power. Set the volume to a lower level (B-9).

Maybe the microphone sensitivity setting is too high.When the sensitivity is set to a high level, the units consumes more power. Set the sensitivity to a lower level (B-2).
