4 Preparing for use
4.1 Baby unit
You can use the baby unit from the mains or on
non-rechargeable batteries. Even if you are going
to use the unit from the mains, we advise you
to insert the non-rechargeable batteries. This
guarantees automatic back-up in case of mains
failure.
4.1.1 Mains operation
1
Put the large appliance plug in the baby unit
and put the adapter in a wall socket (Fig. 2).
4.1.2 Operation on non-rechargeable
batteries
The baby unit runs on four 1.5V R6 AA batteries
(not included). We strongly advise you to use
Philips LR6 PowerLife batteries.
Do not use rechargeable batteries, as the baby
unit does not have a charging function.
Place batteries in the baby unit if you do not want
to use it from the mains or if you want to be sure
of backup power in case of mains failure. Replace
the batteries when the baby unit indicates that
the batteries are low (the empty battery symbol
flashes on the display and the text ‘Battery low’
appears).
B Warning:
Unplug the baby unit and make sure your hands
and the unit are dry when you insert the non-
rechargeable batteries.
1
Remove the lid of the compartment for non-
rechargeable batteries. (Fig. 3)
2
Insert four non-rechargeable batteries (Fig. 4).
D Note:
Make sure the + and - poles point in the right
direction.
3
Reattach the lid. (Fig. 5)
D Note:
When the batteries are low, the battery light on
the baby unit flashes red.
