HOW TO USE / CONNECTING THE UNITS
Question
Answer
Why doesn‘t the poweron light of the baby unit
turn on when I switch
it on?
Perhaps the adapter is not plugged in properly. Connect the baby unit
to the adapter and plug the adapter to the mains outlet. Then turn the
on/off slide of the baby unit upwards to the ON position to establish a
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 baby unit does not have a charging function, it only works when
connected to the mains.
Why can’t I establish a
connection?
Why is the connection
lost every now and then?
Why are there sound
interference?
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.
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.
If the signal is lost, the parent unit will make a beeping sound every
20 seconds.
The baby unit and parent unit might be too close to each other, keep
them at least 2.5 meters/ 8.2 feet away from each other to prevent
interference.
What happens during a
power failure?
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.
You can temporarily connect the baby unit to a power bank during mains
power failure. When mains power is restored, you can connect the baby
unit to the mains.
- 30 -
HOW TO USE / CONNECTING THE UNITS
Why can the charging
time of the parent unit
exceed 3 hours?
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.
Perhaps temperature has exceeded the charging tolerance that could
potentially cut off the charging circuit as a safety protection mechanism.
To resume charging, move the charging station away from any heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stove or other appliances
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Why do I need to keep
To avoid strangulation with the cord, always place the baby unit and its
the baby unit and its cord cord at least 1 meter / 3.5 feet away from the baby.
at least 1 meter/ 3.5 feet
away from my 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 of the parent unit is always on. You will
have continuous sound when the sensitivity level is set to ‚very high‘.
Otherwise, low sounds will be muted.
* 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. 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, soothing sound, 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
soothing sound menu is accessible.
* 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.

HOW TO USE / CONNECTING THE UNITS
The parent unit does not
respond, what should I
do?
You can reset the parent unit by simultaneously pressing the on/off
button and the navigation down button for about 1 second. The parent
unit will switch off. To turn the parent unit back on, press the on/off
button one more time. Specific user information stored in the memory
of the parent unit, such as time, user mode, brightness settings, volume,
soothing sound selection, zoom selection, and vibration settings, will be
retained.
INDICATIONS ON THE PARENT UNIT
Question
Answer
The battery LED on the
parent unit turns red.
What should I do?
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.
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’).

NOISE/SOUND
Question
Answer
Why does the parent
unit and/or baby unit
produce a high-pitched
noise?
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?"
How can I mute the
sound?
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.
Why don’t I hear a
sound? Why can’t I hear
my baby cry? Why do I
experience only partial
sound transmission but
not all?
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.
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.
Why does the parent unit The baby unit also picks up other sounds than those of your baby. Move

makes?
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.
Why does the parent unit Interference may occur when the parent unit is out of range of the baby
make a buzzing sound?
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.

available, select All lullabies.
How can I increase the
volume of the soothing
sound?
You can adjust the volume of the soothing sound on the parent unit, not
on the baby unit. Press the soothing sound button on the parent unit to
open the soothing sound 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 the table in chapter ‘Positioning the baby monitor’).
The operating time of the
parent unit is supposed
to be up to 12 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.
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 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
Answer
Why do I get interference
on the parent unit? Why
does the video display on
the parent unit flicker?
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).
Perhaps you have more than 2 sets of baby monitors and interference
may occur. Keep these 2 baby units away from each other, ideally in
separate rooms.
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.
- 34 -
VIDEO DISPLAY
Why isn’t there any
The parent unit may be in the Audio, Vox or Eco mode. Press the mode
image on the video
button on the right side of the parent unit to switch modes (see section
display while the link light 'Modes').
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 (see section
'Brightness').
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.
