OPERATION
(fig. 4)
‘Baby unit’
Make sure the mains power adapter is
connected correctly, or batteries are
installed.
Place the ‘baby unit’ near the baby’s bed,
making sure that the microphone is placed
in the best position for picking up baby’s
sounds.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure that the ‘baby unit’ is always out of
reach of the baby; never place the ‘baby unit’
inside baby’s bed or playpen!
Select the VOICE mode using the mode
switch
(fig. 1.4)
.
The red POWER LED lights up.
If sound is picked up by the built-in
microphone, the ‘baby unit’ starts
transmitting automatically. The transmission
stops when no sound is picked up any
more. During transmission the green
TRANSMIT LED lights up.
The ‘baby unit’ also has a button for manual
transmission (TALK
fig. 1.5
). This function
operates both during VOICE and OFF-mode.
For manual transmission:
Keep the TALK button pressed and speak
into the microphone.
Both the red POWER LED and green
TRANSMIT LED light up.
Spoken sound is transmitted until the TALK
button is released.
‘Parent unit’
Make sure that the mains power adapter is
connected correctly, or that batteries are
installed.
If mains power adapter is connected
correctly, the red adapter LED on the
standing base lights up.
If batteries are installed, the ‘parent unit’
only uses battery power in the event of a
mains failure, or when the unit is not placed
inside the standing base.
Place the ‘parent unit’ inside the standing
base, near to the parent’s location.
Switch the ‘parent unit’ to ON to an
acceptable sound level
(fig. 1.2)
.
The red POWER LED lights up.
If a sound signal is received from the ‘baby
unit’, it is heard via the built-in speaker.
Adjust the sound level as required.
The ‘parent unit’ checks the received sound
signal. If the quality is too poor, the signal is
blocked.
In this case:
Move the ‘parent unit’ closer to the ‘baby
unit’ to restore sound reception again.
The maximum operating distance is 150 m
in ideal conditions.
Notes
For baby monitoring make sure the ‘baby
unit’ is in VOICE mode!
Do not place ‘baby unit’ and ‘parent unit’ too
close to each other while operating.
Otherwise the units will start resonating
(high-pitch sound).
IMPORTANT!
Before using the Baby phone, check the sound
transmission. This checks whether a unit is
broken, or whether units are placed out of
range of each other. After this first check,
sound transmission should be checked on a
regular basis as follows:
Have an adult softly speak into the ‘baby unit’.
Sounds transmitted from the baby room
should be heard clearly via the ‘parent unit’ in
another room.
CHANNEL SELECTION
The Baby phone can use 2 different
channels for radio signal transmission. If
sound reception is very poor, or other radio
signals are being picked up, 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.
BELT-CLIP
When batteries are installed, the ‘parent unit’
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 ‘parent unit’
