Question

Why don’t both the poweron light of the baby unit and the LINK light of the parent unit come on when I press the on/off buttons of the units?

Answer

Perhaps the battery pack of the parent unit are empty and the parent unit is not in the plugged-in charger. Insert the small appliance plug into the charger, put the adapter of the charger in a wall socket and place the parent unit in the charger. Then press the on/off button to establish connection with the baby unit.

Why does the LINK light on the parent unit light up red continuously and why is the message ‘Not Linked’ shown on the display?

Question

Why does the parent unit beep?

Answer

If the parent unit beeps while the LINK light lights up red continuously and the message ‘Not Linked’ is shown on the display, the connection with the baby unit is lost. Move the parent unit closer to the baby unit.

If the parent unit beeps and the battery symbol on the display is empty, the rechargeable battery pack of the parent unit is running low.

Recharge the battery pack.

If you have switched off the volume while the sound alert is on, the parent unit beeps whenever the fourth sound level light lights up because the baby unit has picked up a sound.

If you have set the room temperature range on the parent unit and the temperature alert is on, the parent unit beeps when the temperature drops below the set level or below 57°F or when the temperature rises above the set level or above 86°F.

The baby unit may be switched off. Switch on the baby unit.

The units may be too close to each other. Make sure the parent unit and the baby unit are at least 3 feet/1 meter away from each other.

Question Answer

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. The baby unit continues to send data to the parent unit and therefore uses more power.This causes the nonrechargeable batteries of the baby unit to 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 electrical power.

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

Why does the charging time of the parent unit exceed 8 hours?

The specified operating range of the baby monitor is 330 meters/1000 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?

The specified range is only valid outdoors in open air. Inside your house, the operating range is limited by the number and type of walls and/or ceilings in between. Inside the house, the operating range is up to 50 meters/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 continues to operate during a power failure, both inside and outside the charger. If there are batteries in the baby unit, it also continues to operate during a power failure.

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

Is my baby monitor secure from eavesdropping and interference?

The operating time of the parent unit is supposed to be at least 24 hours. Why is the operating time of my parent unit shorter?

When the parent unit has been charged for the first time, the operating time is less than 24 hours. The rechargeable battery pack only reaches its full capacity after you have charged and discharged it at least four times.

Why doesn’t the battery symbol appear on the display of the parent unit when I start to recharge the parent unit?

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 of the baby unit may be set too high, which causes the parent unit to consume a lot of energy. Decrease the microphone sensitivity level in the menu of the parent unit.

It may take a few minutes before the battery symbol appears on the display of the parent unit when you charge the parent for the first time or after a long period of disuse.
