HOW TO USE / CONNECTING THE UNITS
Question
Why does the power-on light of the baby unit not go on when I switch on the unit?
Answer
Perhaps the baby unit is not connected to the mains. Connect the baby unit to the mains. Then set the on/off switch of the baby unit upwards to the ON position to establish connection with the parent unit.
Why doesn't the parent unit charge when I plug it in?
Perhaps the adapter is not plugged in properly. Make sure the adapter is plugged into the wall socket properly.
Why doesn’t the baby unit charge when I plug it in?
The parent unit may already be fully charged. The battery status light will be green when the battery is fully charged and the device is connected to the mains power.
The baby unit does not have a charging function. The baby unit only works when it is connected to the mains.
24
English
HOW TO USE / CONNECTING THE UNITS
Why can’t I establish a connection?
Why is the connection lost every now and then?
Why are there sound interruptions?
The baby unit and the parent unit are probably close to the outer limits of the operating range or there is interference from other 2.4 GHz wireless devices. Try a different location, decrease the distance between the units or switch off other 2.4 GHz wireless devices (laptops, mobile phones, microwaves, etc) . It can take up to 10 seconds before the connection between the units is reestablished.
What happens during a power failure?
If the signal is lost, then the parent unit will make a beeping sound (3 quick beeps every 20 seconds).
The baby and parent unit might be too close to each other, keep them at least 1.5 meters/ 5 feet away from each other to prevent interference.
As the parent unit works on a rechargeable battery, the parent unit continues to work if the battery is sufficiently charged. However, the baby unit stops working because it has no rechargeable battery and only works on a mains power. The parent unit will give a beeping sound to indicate that the link with the baby unit is lost.
When mains power is restored, the connection between the parent unit and the baby unit will automatically be established.
The parent unit may be switched on during charging. Switch off the parent unit during charging to reduce the charging time. When the display of the parent unit is constantly on, charging of the parent unit will take more time.
Why can the charging time of the parent unit exceed 3 hours?
Why do I need to keep the baby unit and its cord at least 1 meter/ 3.5
feet away from my baby?
To avoid strangulation with the cord and for optimal sound detection, always place the baby unit and its cord at least 1 meter / 3.5 feet away from the baby.
What is the difference between the various user modes on the parent unit: Video,
Audio, VOX and ECO?
See below list for an explanation on the available modes on your baby monitor.
* Video mode: the screen and sound of the parent unit are always on.
* Audio mode: only audio will be activated. The display of the parent unit switches off when AUDIO mode is activated. The link light shows that the parent unit is still on and connected to the baby unit. SCD630 only: the sound level lights above the screen will light up green when sound from the baby unit is heard. All normal correspondence with the baby unit is possible via the talk back, lullaby, menu and sensitivity buttons.
* VOX mode: The display and sound of the parent unit switch off if there is no sound detected for 20 seconds (or not enough sound above the sensitivity setting). Both display and sound will be activated immediately when your baby cries and the sensitivity threshold is passed. When the sound drops below the sound threshold, the video will remain active for 20 seconds. When one of the control buttons is pressed (brightness or volume), the device shall display video for roughly 5 seconds. Also the lullaby menu is accessible.
English
25
HOW TO USE / CONNECTING THE UNITS
* ECO mode: The display and sound of the parent unit switch off when no sound is detected for 20 seconds. Eco Mode reduces power consumption during quiet times while keeping you connected to your baby. In ECO mode the ECO LED light is green and the device will operate on a different connection modus. In ECO mode the parent unit uses the 2 seconds ping mechanism to check the connection with the baby unit instead of a continuous radio frequency connection. Therefore the Baby Unit will also consume less energy in ECO mode.
Where can I turn on the nightlight?
How can I reset the parent unit?
Press the nightlight on/off button on the baby unit to switch on the nightlight feature. It is not possible to control the nightlight from the parent unit. The nightlight does not turn off automatically, press the nightlight on/off button again on the baby unit to switch it off.
You can reset the Parent Unit by simultaneously press the "power on/off button" and the round "navigation down button" at the front of the parent unit for about 1 second. The parent unit will restart and connection will be re-established. Specific user information stored in the memory of the parent unit such as user mode, brightness settings, volume, lullaby selection, zoom selection and vibration settings will not be lost.
INDICATIONS ON THE PARENT UNIT
Question
The battery LED on the parent unit turns red.
What should I do?
Answer
The battery power is low. If you do not connect the parent unit to the mains power when the battery LED has turned red and starts to make a beeping sound, the unit will stop working after approximately 60 minutes.
Why does the parent unit beep?
Switch to lower brightness and/or volume to save battery consumption and connect the parent unit to the mains with the power adapter. (see chapter
‘Preparing for use’).
Your baby monitor beeps in a certain way to tell you what the problem is.
What does the battery
LED colour (green, orange, red) or no burning LED mean for the status of my battery?
1 beep: parent unit is switched off.
1 beep, every 20 seconds for the first 3 minutes, after that, every minute: parent unit is low in battery.
2 quick beeps every 20 seconds: temperature of the baby room is outside the range that is defined by the user, temperature icon is shown on parent unit's screen (for model SCD630 only).
3 quick beeps every 20 seconds: connection between parent and baby unit is lost, link icon is shown on the parent unit's screen and the link connection button is red.
When the parent unit is connected to the mains power the color of the battery light will show:
* Green: battery is full.
* Orange: battery is charging.
When the parent unit is not connected to the mains power the color of the battery light will show:
* Red: battery is almost empty (<10%)
* No burning LED: parent unit is not connected to the mains.

NOISE/SOUND
Question
Why does the parent unit and/or baby unit produce a high-pitched noise?
Answer
The parent unit and baby unit may be too close to each other. Make sure the parent unit and the baby unit are at least 2.5 meters / 8.2 feet away from each other.
The volume of the parent unit may be set too high. Decrease the volume of the parent unit.
For causes of a beeping sound from the parent unit, see the FAQ "Why does the parent unit beep?"
Mute the device by pressing the bottom part of the control button. When the volume bar on the screen is completely empty, the volume is muted.
How can I mute the sound?
Why don’t I hear a sound? Why can’t I hear my baby cry?
The volume of the parent unit may be set too low or may be switched off.
Press the top part on the control button to increase the volume level.
Perhaps the parent unit is muted, unmute the device by pressing the top part of the control button and adjust the volume.
Why does the parent unit react too quickly to other sounds than my baby makes?
The sensitivity is set too low, adjust the sensitivity in the parent unit's menu to a higher level.
The baby unit may be too far away from your baby. Make sure the baby unit is not further than 1.5 meters/ 5 feet away from your baby for optimal sound detection. Closer than 1 meter /3.5 feet increases strangulation hazard.
The baby unit also picks up other sounds than those of your baby. Move the baby unit closer to the baby (but observe the minimum distance of 1 meter/ 3.5 feet).
Why does the parent unit make a buzzing sound?
How long will the lullaby song be played by the baby unit?
How can I increase the volume of the lullaby?
The sensitivity level may be set too high. When your baby makes soft sounds, the sensitivity has to be higher. However, the louder your baby sounds, the lower the sensitivity level can be set. You can change the sensitivity of your baby monitor on the parent unit's menu.
Interference may occur when the parent unit is out of range of the baby unit. Interference may also occur if there are too many walls or ceilings between the parent unit and the baby unit or when other 2.4 GHz wireless devices are switched on (e.g. microwave, Wi-Fi router).
Put the parent unit in a different place, closer to the baby unit, or switch off other wireless devices.
If this answer does not help you, check the other FAQ on " Why does the parent unit and/or baby unit produce a high-pitched noise?"
Once you select a lullaby, it will be continuously repeated for approximately 15 minutes. In case you want to play all songs that are available, select the last option in the lullaby list.
You can adjust the volume of the lullaby on the parent unit, not on the baby unit. Press the lullaby button on the parent unit to open the lullaby menu and adjust the volume.

OPERATING TIME / RANGE
Question Answer
Why does my baby monitor manage a much smaller distance than specified in this user manual?
The specified operating range of 300 meters /985 feet is only valid outdoors in open air and in the line of sight. Depending on the surroundings and other disturbing factors, the operating range may be smaller (see also table in chapter on positioning of parent and baby unit).
Inside your house, the operating range is up to 50 meters/165 feet, which is also limited by the number and type of walls and/or ceilings between the parent unit and the baby unit.
The operating time of the parent unit is supposed to be up to 10 hours. Why is the operating time of my parent unit shorter?
The video brightness of the parent unit may be set too high, which causes the parent unit to consume a lot of energy. Decrease the brightness of the parent unit.
The parent unit consumes a lot of energy when the video display is switched on continuously. Activate the AUDIO, VOX or ECO mode in the parent unit's menu to increase the operating time (see chapter ‘Features’, sections 'AUDIO mode', ‘VOX mode' or ' ECO mode' ).
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.
As any other rechargeable electronic device, the battery capacity decreases after a long period of usage.
VIDEO DISPLAY
Question
Why do I get interference on the parent unit? Why does the video display on the parent unit flicker?
Answer
Interference may occur when the parent unit is out of range of the baby unit. Interference may also occur if there are too many walls or ceilings between the parent unit and the baby unit or when other 2.4 GHz wireless devices are switched on (e.g. microwave, Wi-Fi router).
Put the parent unit in a different place, closer to the baby unit, or switch off other wireless devices.
The rechargeable battery of the parent unit may need to be charged.
The parent unit may be in the AUDIO, VOX or ECO mode. Press the mode button on the right side of the parent unit to switch modes (see 'Modes').
Why isn’t there any image on the video display while the link light is green?
Why isn't the image on the video display clear?
The display brightness may be set too low. Increase the display brightness on the parent unit using the control button in the centre.
Perhaps the lens of the baby unit is dirty. Clean the lens with a dry cloth.
The baby unit may be too far away from your baby. Make sure the baby unit is not further than 1.5 meters / 5 feet away from your baby for optimal video quality. Closer than 1 meter / 3.5 feet increases strangulation hazard.
