OPERATING TIME / RANGE
Question
Why does my baby
monitor manage a much
smaller distance than
specified in this user
manual?
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?
VIDEO DISPLAY
Question
Why do I get interference
on the parent unit? Why
does the video display on
the parent unit flicker?
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�
Answer
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')�
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 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�
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�
Answer
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�
