4. OPERATION
CHANNEL SELECTION
– The Babysitter can use 2 different channels
for radio signal transmission. If sound
reception is very poor, please try the other
transmission channel as follows:
• Move the channel selector on both units to
the other channel (fig. 1.1 and fig. 1.3) .
Note: Always make sure the channel switches
on both units are set to the same
position. This ensures optimum
reception.
ANTI-INTERFERENCE TECHNOLOGY
To reduce the reception of other signals, the
unit checks each received signal for a special
code. In this way annoying transmissions from
e.g. radio amateurs, cordless telephones or
other brands of babysitters are reduced to a
minimum.
TRANSMISSION CONTROL
If the receiver is switched on, it will check that
the transmitter is still within transmission
range. If the signal is blocked, or if the units
are placed out of range for more than 30
seconds the receiver starts beeping and the
green LED flashes. To stop the transmission
control signals, try one of the following
options:
• Move the receiver closer to the transmitter
to restore sound reception again.
– The maximum operating distance is 300 m.
in ideal conditions.
• Switch to the other transmission channel
(see chapter 'Channel Selection') .
• Check batteries in both transmitter and
receiver (in case batteries are low).
Signals from the transmitter may also be blocked
when the set is used in an environment with a
lot of radio frequency (RF) interfernce. If the
beeping cannot be stopped by using one of the
options mentioned above:
• Adjust the switch inside the receiver's battery
compartment.
Note: When you have switched off the
receiver's beeping manually you will no
longer know whether it receives signals or
not. Therefore put the switch back in its
original position when you are going to
use the set again.

RECHARGEABILITY
The receiver has a recharging function. If the
rechargeable batteries are empty they can be
recharged easily via the recharging base. To
recharge batteries:
• Make sure that the mains power adapter is
correctly connected to the recharging base.
– If the mains power adapter is connected
correctly, the red CHARGE LED on the
recharging base lights up.
• Place the receiver inside the recharging
base; batteries start to recharge.
– Totally empty batteries will take up 12-14
hours to fully recharge.
BELT-CLIP
With completely charged batteries, the
receiver can be used as a truly cordless
product. The unit can be carried in and around
the house, using the easy belt-clip. This clip
can easily be attached to and removed from
the receiver (fig. 5) .
