This is an AC powered audio baby monitor. Connect the baby monitor to a non-switched electric outlet to power on.

NOTES

• Use only the power adapters supplied with this product.
• Connect the power adapters in a vertical or floor mount position only. The adapters' prongs are not designed to hold the weight of baby monitor, so do not connect them to any ceiling, under-thetable, or cabinet outlets. Otherwise, the adapters may not properly connect to the outlets.
• Make sure the parent unit, the baby unit and the power adapter cords are out of reach of children.
