2.2 Baby unit battery installation
You can power up the baby unit by connecting it to AC power and installing four AA alkaline batteries. Even if the baby unit is connected to
AC power, you must also install four AA alkaline batteries for the baby unit to operate. This can also guarantee continual operation in case of a power outage..
Install four AA alkaline batteries (not supplied) into the battery compartment, matching the polarity markings ( + and -) inside the battery compartment.
Make sure the ribbon attached inside the battery compartment is put under the batteries and the excess ribbon is tucked in properly. Then replace the battery compartment cover.
Gently pull the ribbon and lift up to remove the batteries
•
•
•
•
Notes
Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline and standard
(carbon-zinc) batteries.
The operating time for using AA batteries is short, only for a few hours. If you want to monitor your baby for a long time, we recommend you connect your baby unit to AC power.
If the baby unit will not be used for a long time, disconnect and remove the bat tery to prevent possible leakage.
You can use rechargeable AA batteries for the baby unit, but the baby unit cannot charge rechargeable batteries.

2.4 Baby unit installation options
The baby unit is ready for tabletop use. Use the provided wall mount if you want to mount it on a wall. Make sure to test the reception and the baby unit position before completing the wall mounting installation (see
Test your video and audio monitor before use on 23).
2.4.1 Tabletop to wall mount installation
Option 1: Use this method to fix the wall mount securely on the wall.
1.
Place the wall mount on a wall and then use a pencil to mark the top two holes as shown. Then remove the wall mount and drill two holes in the wall. Check for reception strength and camera angle before drilling the holes.
2.
If you drill the holes into a stud, go to step 3.
-Or-
If you drill the holes into an object other than a stud, insert the wall anchors into the holes and tap gently on the ends with a hammer until the wall anchors are flush with the wall.
7
3.
Align the wall mount and screws with the holes in the wall as shown.
Make sure to attach the screw in the middle hole first so that the wall mount position is fixed. Then attach the other screw in the top hole.
4.
Place the baby unit on the wall mount and tighten the screw into the threaded socket at the bottom to secure the baby unit.

If you have difficulty with your video and audio monitor, please try the suggestions below.
•
My video and audio monitor does not work at all.
Make sure the baby units, parent unit and the batteries are installed and charged correctly (pages 5 to 15). For optimum daily performance, charge the parent unit when it is not in use.
Make sure the power adapters are securely plugged into the outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
Make sure the adapter cords are plugged firmly into the baby units and parent unit.
Make sure the baby units and the parent unit are turned on.
The parent unit may be too far away from the baby units. Move the parent unit closer to the baby units (but not less than 1 metre).
Unplug the electrical power to the baby units and parent unit. Wait for approximately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Turn on the baby units and the parent unit. Allow up to one minute for the baby units and the parent unit to synchronise.
Install the correct type of batteries in the baby units and follow the proper polarity orientation between the battery and metallic contacts inside the battery compartment.
Charge the battery in the parent unit for up to 12 hours.
If the parent unit battery is completely depleted, it may take up to
30 minutes to charge the parent unit before it can be used for a short time (page 15).
Remove the battery and then install it again. If that still does not work, it may be necessary to purchase new batteries.
Large obstructions may impact the reception. Try to relocate the baby units, away from large obstructions such as walls and doors.
Other electronic products may cause interference with your video and audio monitor. Try installing your video and audio monitor as far away from these electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios, cellular telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal computers, kitchen appliances and cordless telephones.

8. CArE AND MAINTENANCE
INSTrUCTIONS
Operating range
This baby unit and parent unit can communicate over only a certain distance - which can vary with the locations of the baby unit, the parent unit, the weather, and the layout of your home.
When the parent unit is out of range, the parent unit displays Waiting for linking...
To improve reception, move closer to the baby unit (but not less than
1 metre).
Maintenance
Taking care of your video and audio monitor
Your video and audio monitor contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment
Place the baby unit and parent unit down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your video and audio monitor if you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water
Your video and audio monitor can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the parent unit and/or baby unit outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the video and audio monitor near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electrical appliances during storms.
39
Cleaning your video and audio monitor
Your video and audio monitor has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or mild soap. Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in water. If the baby units and/or parent unit should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG
THE POWER CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the units out by the unplugged cords.
