Battery operation

The parent unit runs on two rechargeable 1.2V AAA NiMH batteries that are supplied with the

appliance.

Make sure your hands and the unit are dry when you insert the batteries.

1Slide the battery compartment lid downwards to remove it (Fig. 6).

2Insert the two rechargeable batteries (Fig. 7).

,Make sure the + and – poles of the batteries point in the right direction.

3Slide the battery compartment lid back onto the back of the parent unit until it locks into position (‘click’) (Fig. 8).

4Put the adapter in a wall outlet and place the parent unit in the charger (Fig. 9).

,The POWER light on the charger lights up.

5Leave the parent unit in the charger until the batteries are fully charged

,When charging for the first time or after a long period of disuse: turn off the parent unit and let it charge continuously for at least 10 hours.

,Charging normally takes 8 hours, but it takes longer when the parent unit is turned on while charging.To keep the charging time as short as possible, turn off the parent unit during charging.

,The POWER light on the charger stays on, even when the batteries are fully charged.

,When the batteries are fully charged, the parent unit can be used cordlessly for at least 24 hours.

Note:The operating time of 24 hours is based on the assumption that the baby unit transmits 25% of the time and is in standby mode for the rest of the time (when the baby does not make any sound).

Note:When the parent unit batteries are charged for the first time, the operating time is less than 24 hours.The batteries only reach their full capacity after you have charged and discharged them four times.

Note:When the batteries are running low, the battery check light ( T) flashes red. Place the parent unit in the charger.

Note:When the parent unit is not in the charger, the batteries gradually discharge, even when the parent unit is turned off.
