Question
Why do the non-
rechargeable
batteries of the baby
unit run low quickly?
Why does the charging
time of the parent unit
exceed 4 hours?
The specified operating
range of the baby
monitor is 330
metres/1000 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?
Answer
The microphone sensitivity level of the baby unit may be set too high,
which causes the baby unit to transmit more often. Decrease the
microphone sensitivity level in the menu of the parent unit.
The volume on the baby unit may be set too high, which causes the
baby unit to consume a lot of energy. Decrease the volume of the baby
unit.
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. In this case the display is lit all
the time, which increases the power consumption of the baby unit. This
causes the non-rechargeable batteries of the baby unit to 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 and type of walls and/or
ceilings in between. Inside the house, the operating range is up to 50
metres/150 feet.
The ECO mode is switched on. When you operate the baby unit in
ECO mode, the operating range is 260 meters/800 feet in open air.
Inside your house, the operating range is limited by the number and
type of walls and/or ceilings in between. Move the parent unit closer to
the baby unit or switch off the ECO mode.
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.
You may have placed the parent unit next to a transmitter or other
DECT appliance, such as a DECT telephone or other 1.8GHz/1.9GHz
baby monitor. Move the parent unit away from the other appliances
until the connection is re-established.
If the parent unit is sufficiently charged, it continues to operate during a
power failure, both inside and outside the charger. If there are batteries
in the baby unit, it also continues to operate during a power failure.
