Question Why dont both the power-on light of the baby unit and the LINK light of the parent unit come on when I press the on/off buttons of the units? Answer Perhaps the rechargeable battery pack of the parent unit is empty and the parent unit is not connected to a power outlet. Insert the small appliance plug into the parent unit and put the adapter in a power outlet. Then press the on/off button to establish connection with the baby unit. Perhaps the non-rechargeable batteries of the baby unit are empty and the baby unit is not connected to an electrical outlet.Replace the non-rechargeable batteries or connect the baby unit to an electrical outlet. Then press the on/off button to establish connection with the parent unit.

Answer The baby unit and the parent unit may be out of range of each other. Move the parent unit closer to the baby unit, but not closer than 3.5feet/1 meter. If the LINK light on the parent unit still does not start to flash, use the reset function to reset the units to their default settings.

Question

Why does the LINK light on the parent unit flash red?
The baby unit and the parent unit are out of range of each other. Move the parent unit closer to the baby unit. The baby unit may be switched off. Switch on the baby unit.
Why does the battery light Thenon-rechargeable batteries of the baby unit are running low. on the baby unit flash red? Replace the non-rechargeable batteriesor connect the baby unit to a power outlet (see chapter Preparing for use). Why does the parent unit beep? If the parent unit beepswhile the LINK light flashes red, the connection with the baby unit is lost. Move the parent unit closer to the baby unit. If the parent unit beeps and the batterylight flashes red,the rechargeable battery pack of the parent unit is running low. Recharge the battery pack. The baby unit may be switched off. Switch on the baby unit. Why does the appliance produce a high-pitched noise? The units may be too close to each other. Make sure the parent unit and the baby unit are at least 3.5feet/1 meter away fromeach other. The volume of the parent unit may be set too high. Decrease the volume of the parent unit. Why dont I hear a sound/ Why cant I hear mybaby cry? The volume of the parent unit may be set too low or may be switched off. Increase the volume of the parent unit.

English 17

Question Why do the nonrechargeable batteries of the baby unit run low quickly? Answer The microphone sensitivity levelof the baby unit may be set too high, which causes the baby unit to transmit more often. Decrease the microphone sensitivity level with the SENSITIVITY button on the parent unit. The volume on the baby unit may be set too high, which causes the baby unit to consume a lot of energy. Decrease the volume of the baby unit. Perhaps you have switched onthe nightlight. If you want to use the nightlight, we advise you to run the baby unit on electrical power. Why does the charging time of the parent unit exceed8 hours? Thespecified operating range of the baby monitor is 1000 feet/330 meters. Why does my baby monitor manage a much smaller distance than that? Why is the connectionlost every now and then? Why are there sound interruptions? What happens during a powerfailure? The parent unit may be switched on during charging. Switch off the parent unit during charging. The specified range is only valid outdoors in open air. Inside your house, the operating range is limited by the number and type of walls and/or ceilings in between. Inside the house, the operating range is up to 50meters/150feet.
The baby unit and the parent unit are probably close tothe outer limits of the operating range. Try a different location or decrease the distance between the units. Please note that it takes about 30 seconds each time before a connection between the units is established. If the parent unit is sufficiently charged, itcontinues to operate during a power failure, both connected to and disconnected from the adapter.
