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
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 on
the baby unit.
The parent unit may be switched on during charging. Switch off the
parent unit.
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.
