Question
Why does the charging
time of the parent unit
exceed 16 hours?
The specified operating
range of the baby monitor
is 300 metres/900 feet.
Why does my baby
monitor manage a much
smaller distance than that?
Why is the
connection lost every
now and then? Why are
there sound interruptions?
What happens during a
power failure?
Is my baby monitor
secure from
eavesdropping and
interference?
Some buttons do not
seem to work when I
press them. What do I do
wrong?
The operating time of the
parent unit is supposed to
be at least 8 hours. Why
is the operating time of
my parent unit shorter?
Answer
You may have set a maximum room temperature that is lower than
the actual room temperature or a minimum room temperature that
is higher than the actual room temperature. This causes the display to
be lit all the time, which results in higher power consumption and
batteries that run low quickly.
Perhaps you have switched on the nightlight. If you want to use the
nightlight, we advise you to run the baby unit on mains power.
The parent unit may be switched on during charging. Switch off the
parent unit during charging.
The specified range is only valid outdoors in open air. Inside your
house, the operating range is limited by the number type of walls
and/or ceilings in between. Inside the house, the operating range will
be up to 50 metres/150 feet.
The baby unit and the parent unit are probably close to the outer
limits of the operating range. Try a different location or decrease the
distance between the units. Please note that it takes about 30
seconds each time before a connection between the units is
established.
If the parent unit is sufficiently charged, it will continue to operate
during a power failure, both inside and outside the charger. If there
are batteries in the baby unit, it will automatically switch to battery-
operated use in case of power failure.
The DECT technology of this baby monitor guarantees no
interference from other equipment and no eavesdropping.
You should press all buttons (except the on/off buttons and the TALK
button) briefly. If you press them too long, they will not work.
When the parent unit batteries have been charged for the first time,
the operating time will be less than 8 hours. The batteries only
reach their full capacity after you have charged and discharged
them at least four 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 on the parent unit may be set too
high, which causes the parent unit to consume a lot of energy.
Decrease the microphone sensitivity level on the parent unit.
