Using a handset as a room monitor

Using a handset as a room monitor
If the room monitor is activated, the phone number saved in the system is called as
soon as a set noise level is reached. You can save an internal or external number in
your handset as the destination number. All of the handset keys are deactivated
except for the display keys.
The room monitor call to an external number is cancelled after approximately 90
seconds. The room monitor call to an internal number (handset) stops after approx.
3 minutes (depending on the base station). When the room monitor is activated, all
keys are locked except the end call key. The handset's speaker is muted.
When room monitor mode is activated, incoming calls to the handset are indicated
without a ringtone and are only shown on the display. The display and keypad are
not illuminated and advisory tones are also turned off.
If you accept an incoming call, the room monitor is suspended for the duration of
the call, but the function remains activated.
If you deactivate then reactivate the handset, the room monitor remains activated.
Caution!
u
Always check the operation of the room monitor before use. For example,
test its sensitivity. Check the connection if you are diverting the room
monitor to an external number.
u
Activating the function significantly reduces the operating time of your
handset. If necessary, place the handset in the charger. This ensures that the
battery does not run down.
u
Ideally the handset should be positioned 1 to 2 metres away from the baby.
The microphone must be pointed towards the baby.
u
The connection that the room monitor is diverted to must not be blocked by
an activated answering machine.
