Reer 50040 Manual

General safety instructions

Congratulations on the purchase of your new reer baby monitor. This intuitive unit's highly sensitive microphone transmits the sounds your baby makes clearly and reliably. The baby unit's soothing night light helps your child settle to sleep, and the unit then automatically switches to „ECO mode" as soon as your baby is quiet. In this ECO mode, the baby unit no longer emits any radiation. The baby unit starts to send again only when noises are received. Thanks to its optional battery operation and robust belt clip, the baby monitor is handy for use as a stationary or mobile unit. We are sure you will enjoy the quality of our product for many years to come.
Please take a few minutes to read through the safety instructions carefully. You will only be able to use the reer baby monitor with confidence if all of the points mentioned here have been checked.

• Check the unit for visible damage before each use. If you detect any damage, do not use the unit.
• Only use the supplied chargers and mains adapters. Make sure that the operating voltage of the power outlet matches that of the mains adapter. Check - especially when traveling abroad - that the local mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the units and/or mains adapters.
• Except for the battery compartment cover, never open the units or mains adapters, as there is a risk of electric shock. If a unit does not work correctly, please do NOT try to fix the problem yourself. Please contact your dealer with any problems.
• Keep the battery out of the reach of children. In order to avoid any risk of swallowing.
• Avoid bringing the battery and/or electrical connection contacts on the units into contact with metal objects.
• This product is not a toy! Do not allow children to play with the unit.

NOTE: This baby monitor was designed exclusively for monitoring your baby. It may neither be regarded as a substitute for parental supervision nor as a medical device.

Safety instructions regarding installation

• Always place the baby unit out of your child´s reach (minimum distance: 1 meter).
• Never place the baby monitor inside the crib, cot or playpen.
• The power lead must be secured out of the reach of children to avoid any risk of strangulation. Do not use extension cables.
• To ensure optimal transmission, the units must be kept upright at all times and placed in an elevated position.
• DO NOT place the receiver in the vicinity of radio transceivers or microwaves. Radiant emissions from these devices can significantly affect radio reception.
• Do not use the units near water or in humid places. Do not submerge the units in water. Do not rinse the units under running water.
• Do not cover the baby monitor with towels, clothes or blankets.
• Avoid extreme heat and direct sunlight.
• The socket used for connecting the mains adapter must be located close to the baby monitor and kept freely accessible at all times.
• Disconnection from the mains supply is only allowed if the mains adapter is disconnected from the power socket.

Scope of delivery

Description of babyphone

Before first use

1. Only the supplied adapter (5V DC/1000 mA) may be used.
   
   NOTE: Only use rechargeable NiMH AAA batteries! Never use non-rechargeable batteries in the baby monitor. Using unsuitable battery types poses an explosion hazard!
2. To switch on the devices, press and hold the on/off button for 2 seconds. The status LED on the baby and parent unit lights up green. The two devices automatically connect.
   
3. If the highly sensitive microphone on the baby unit detects a sound, the unit will begin transmitting to the parent unit. The LED light on the parent unit flashes green (rapidly) when the unit senses noise.
4. When your child is quiet and the baby unit does not receive any noise, the device automatically switches to standby mode (ECO mode). When ECO mode is switched on, the baby unit emits a little radiation in standby mode. The baby unit starts to send again only when noises are received.

TIP
You can attach the parent unit to your belt using the belt clip, or hang it on a wall with the appropriate fastening material.
NOTE: The parent unit can optionally be operated also with three AAA NiMH cells (not included).

Status LED Baby unit

The status LED above the on/off switch indicates the status of the baby unit.

Status LED parent unit

The status LED above the on/off switch shows the status of the parent unit.

Battery operation

Only use rechargeable NiMH AAA batteries! Switch the units off and disconnect the power lead before changing the batteries.
As soon as the batteries are too weak, the status LED in the switched on state begins to flash red. If the device is not connected to a power supply, the connection will worsen and eventually cut off automatically. Rechargeable batteries can be charged directly in the baby monitor. To do this, connect the device to the wall power supply using the supplied mains adapter. The batteries take approximately 10 hours to charge (with the device switched off).

Range control

This baby monitor is equipped with an optical and acoustic range control system. At regular intervals, check the baby unit and the parent unit for two-way communication (also in standby mode, if the baby unit is not receiving any noise). If the range is exceeded, the status LED on the parent unit begins to flash red and an alarm tone sounds at regular intervals.

ECO mode

As soon as you place the parent unit in a fixed location where you have already checked the reception, we recommend that you switch on ECO mode (quickly press the ON/OFF button 3 times). This will switch the unit to standby mode which involves lower power consumption and radiation emission (if your child is asleep). The baby monitor only transmits when it perceives noise. The range control is maintained in ECO mode.

PAGING function

Press the on/off switch briefly to activate the paging function of the baby unit. It triggers an acoustic signal from the parent unit. This makes it possible to find the parent unit if it has been misplaced.

Volume control/parent unit

To increase or decrease the receiver volume on the parent unit, press + (for louder) or - (for down).

Tips for extending the range

The reception range depends on the environment and other factors which may interfere with or block the transmission signal:

• large metallic objects such as fridges, mirrors, wardrobes, metal doors and reinforced concrete
• fixed structures (walls) or radio, electrical and electronic appliances such as TVs, PCs, mobile phones or dimmer switches

NOTE: We recommend keeping a minimum distance of one metre between the baby unit and interfering devices, or switching the latter off. In case of weak signal, we recommend moving the parent and/or baby unit to a different place in the room.

Cleaning and maintenance

Always disconnect the mains adapters from the wall power socket before cleaning the unit. Only use a slightly dampened cloth. Do not submerge the unit in water. Do not use chemical detergents.
Remove the batteries from the unit if it is not to be used for a long period of time. This product does not require any special maintenance. Repairs to the unit must be carried out by skilled personnel only.

Troubleshooting

The status LED does not light up

• Make sure that both units are switched on.
• Check the connection of the mains adapter to the wall power socket and the unit.
• Exchange the batteries and/or check the polarity.

The status LED flashes green

• The parent unit receives sounds. Turn up the volume on the parent unit to make sure that you hear the sounds from your baby.

The status LED flashes red

• Long flashing: Batteries are flat. Replace the batteries or connect the unit to the power supply.
• Short flashing: maximum range is exceeded. Reduce the distance between the baby and parent unit.

No sound transmission despite established connection

• The volume is set too low. Press the + button to increase the volume.

Loud whistling tone from the parent unit (feedback)

• The baby unit is too close to the parent unit. Increase the distance between the baby unit and the parent unit.

No connection between parent and baby unit/random noise/connection is lost

• Make sure that both units are switched on.
• The maximum range has been exceeded. Move the baby monitor to a different position and/or reduce the distance between the baby and parent unit.
• The baby/parent unit is close to interfering devices (e.g. microwave) or metal objects. Try to find the source of interference and move the units to a different position.
• The batteries are almost depleted. Replace the batteries or connect the units to the power supply.
