Question

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?
I place the parent unit in the
charging base (B-15) but the unit
doesn’t function.
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?

Answer

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
between the units 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 (A-1, B-6), only press the
buttons briefly.
When the batteries of the parent unit are low, you have to
wait for up to 20 minutes after placing the unit in the charger
before the unit starts functioning.
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-10).
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-10).
When the set maximum temperature is lower than the room
temperature, the unit consumes more power because the
display is continuously lit.This is also the case when the set
minimum temperature is higher than the room temperature.
