Mains operation

Operation on non-rechargeable batteries
The parent unit runs on four 1.5V R6 AA batteries (not included). We strongly advise you to use
Philips LR6 PowerLife batteries.
Do not use rechargeable batteries, as the parent unit does not have a charging function.
Unplug the parent unit and make sure your hands and the unit are dry when you insert the non-
rechargeable batteries.

2 Insert four non-rechargeable batteries.
Note: Make sure the + and - poles point in the right direction.

Note: If the batteries are completely empty, the parent unit automatically switches off and loses contact
with the baby unit.
