Question
Why does a new rechargeable
battery pack has no full
operating time capacity after
the first charge?
My rechargeable battery pack
has very short duration, why?
The charging light (B-4) on
the parent unit charging base
(B-3) remains lit red, even
after the full charge duration.
Why?
When installed on the
charging base, the parent unit
cannot be switched on
immediately.
Parent unit reacts too slow/
late on baby's cry.
Parent unit reacts too quick
on other ambient sounds.
The link is lost every now and
then, sound interruptions etc.

Frequently asked questions

Answer
It takes about 3 times full recharge and discharges before the
rechargeable NiMH batteries have their full capacity available.
Leaving the rechargeable battery pack continuously connected
to a charging unit can shorten it's lifetime. If the product is not
used for some time, the charged battery pack slowly looses it's
load.This is normal; a short recharge will bring it back to it's
full capacity again.
The charging light (B-4) is always activated as soon as the
parent unit is installed. It gradually dims when the batteries are
fully charged but remains lit, indicating that the parent unit is
powered.
At this point your battery is probably completely empty.
After some 30 minutes of charging it will be possible to switch
the parent unit on, while installed on the charging unit.

You are probably approaching the outer boundaries of the
practical range.Try a different location or reduce the distance
slightly. Please note that it takes about 30 seconds each time
before a new link is established.
