Philips Avent DECT baby monitor SCD498 - Manual (Page 10)

 Briefly press the volume + and – buttons on the parent unit until the desired microphone
sensitivity level for the baby unit has been reached.
Note: If you press the SENSITIVITY button and/or the volume + and – buttons too long, the microphone
sensitivity is not adjusted.
one light on = minimum sensitivity level
all lights on = maximum sensitivity level
Note: When the microphone sensitivity of the baby unit is set to a high level, it picks up more sounds and
therefore transmits more often. As a result, the units consume more power.
talk function
You can use the TALK button on the parent unit to talk to your baby (e.g. to comfort your baby).
1 Press and hold the TALK button and talk clearly into the microphone (Fig. 19).
 Release the TALK button when you have finished talking.
Note: When you press the TALK button, you can no longer hear your baby.
Silent baby monitoring
1 Briefly press the volume down (–) button on the parent unit until the volume is switched off
completely (Fig. 0).
The volume is completely switched off when all sound level lights are out.
As long as the baby unit does not detect a sound, all sound level lights on the parent unit are
out (Fig. 1).
When the baby unit picks up a sound, one or more sound level lights on the parent unit
come on. The louder the sound, the more lights come on.
nightlight
1 Briefly press the nightlight button Q on the baby unit to switch on the nightlight. (Fig. )
 Press the nightlight button Q again briefly to switch off the nightlight.
The nightlight dims gradually before it goes out completely.
Note: If you press the nightlight button Q too long, the nightlight does not come on or go out.
Tip: Switch off the nightlight when you operate the baby unit on batteries. This saves power.
paging the parent unit
If you have misplaced the parent unit and its volume is switched off, you can use the PAGE button
on the baby unit to locate the parent unit.
1 Briefly press the PAGE button on the baby unit (Fig. 23).
The parent unit automatically resets to medium volume level and produces a paging alert
tone.
 To stop the paging alert tone, press the PAGE button again briefly or press any button on the
parent unit.
Note: If you press the PAGE button too long, the parent unit does not produce the paging alert tone.
Belt clip and neck strap
If the batteries of the parent unit are sufficiently charged, you can take the unit with you inside and
outside the house if you attach the unit to your belt or waistband with the belt clip or if you hang it
round your neck with the neck strap. This allows you to monitor your baby while you are moving
around.
