Question
Answer
The baby unit may be out of range of the parent unit or there may be
too many walls and/or ceilings between the two units. Try a different
location or reduce the distance between the two units.
The non-rechargeable batteries of the baby unit or the rechargeable
battery pack of the parent unit may be low. In that case, replace the
batteries of the baby unit or recharge the battery pack of the parent
unit.
Why does the parent
unit pick up signals
from another baby
monitor?
The baby monitor operates on the same channel as another baby
monitor in the neighbourhood. Set both units to a different channel with
the channel selector.
Why doesn’t the baby
monitor manage the
specified range of 200
metres/600 feet?
The specified range of 200 metres/600 feet is only valid in open air.
Inside the house, the range is limited by the number and type of walls
and/or ceilings between the two units. Change the position of one or
both units to optimise the range.
What happens when
there is a mains
failure?
If you use the baby unit without non-rechargeable batteries, the
connection between the parent unit and the baby unit will be lost when
there is a mains failure. If there are batteries in the baby unit but the
rechargeable battery pack of the parent unit is empty, the connection
will also be lost. If there are non-reachargeable batteries in the baby unit
and the battery pack of the parent unit is charged, the connection will
not be lost.
Why does the
rechargeable battery
pack of the parent unit
not recharge?
The rechargeable battery pack has reached the end of its life. Replace
the battery pack of the parent unit.
The operating time of
the parent unit is
supposed to be at
least 10 hours. Why is
the operating time of
my parent unit
shorter?
When the rechargeable battery pack of the parent unit has been
charged for the first time, the operating time is less than 10 hours. The
rechargeable battery pack only reaches its full capacity after you have
charged and discharged it at least three times.
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 on the baby unit.
Why does the
charging light on the
parent unit
charger light up red
continuously even
when the battery pack
is fully charged?
The charging light always lights up red as soon as the parent unit is
placed in the plugged-in charger. It gradually dims when the batteries are
fully charged but remains on to indicate that the charger is connected to
the mains.
