GETTING THE UNITS READY FOR USE
Baby unit
Connect the AC power adapter (A-9) to an AC mains socket, and then connect the cord to the DC
power supply socket (A-5) of the Baby unit.
If you want to use batteries, remove the battery compartment cover (A-7) using a screwdriver. Insert
four 1.5V, AA batteries (not included; we recommend non-chargeable Philips Alkaline batteries), noting
the + and - configuration inside the battery compartment. Put the cover back in place and tighten screw.
The Baby unit operates cordlessly for up to 30 hours on fresh batteries. The red POWER light (A-2)
flashes when battery power is low. If this happens install new batteries.
Note: To switch off the Baby unit completely push the POWER button (A-4) .
Small Parent unit
The small Parent unit uses a rechargeable battery pack. This is already installed, but first it must be
charged for at least 14 hours as follows before using the unit outside the charging base:
• Connect the AC power adapter (B-11) to an AC mains socket, and then connect the cord to the DC
power supply socket (B-10) of the charging base (B-6).
• Place the small Parent unit inside the charging base. The red charging light (B-13) lights.
The small Parent unit can be operated now but you should leave it in the charging base until the
batteries are fully charged (at least 14 hours). When the batteries are fully charged, take the small Parent
unit out of the charging base and use cordlessly for up to 12 hours.
When the red POWER light (B-2) on the small Parent unit flashes, the battery power is low. Place the
small Parent unit inside the charging base to recharge the batteries.
Big Parent unit
Connect the AC power adapter (C-9) to an AC mains socket, and then connect the cord to the DC
power supply socket (C-8) of the big parent unit.
If you want to use batteries, remove the battery compartment cover (C-6) using a screwdriver. Insert
four 1.5V, AA batteries (not included; we recommend non-chargeable Philips Alkaline batteries), noting
the + and - configuration inside the battery compartment. Put the cover back in place and tighten screw.
The big Parent unit operates cordlessly for up to 30 hours on fresh batteries. The red POWER light (C-1)
flashes when battery power is low. If this happens install new batteries.
