Setting room temperature range
A baby will sleep comfortably in a room heated to a temperature between
61°F and 68°F. This is important, since a baby cannot regulate its body
temperature as well as an adult. A baby needs more time to adjust to
temperature changes.
If you do not set a temperature range, the baby monitor alerts you when
the temperature in your baby’s room drops below 57°F or rises above
86°F. In this case, the backlight of the parent unit display goes on and
‘High’ or ‘Low’ appears on the display. To change the default minimum and
maximum temperature, follow the instructions below.

Question Answer
Why don’t 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?
Perhaps the battery pack of the parent unit are empty and the parent
unit is not in the plugged-in charger. Insert the small appliance plug into
the charger, put the adapter of the charger in a wall socket and place
the parent unit in the charger. 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.
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 feet/1
meter.
If the LINK light on the parent unit still does not start to ash, use the
reset function to reset the units to their default settings.
Why does the LINK light on
the parent unit light up red
continuously and why is the
message ‘Not Linked’ shown
on the display?
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
on the baby unit ash red?
The non-rechargeable batteries of the baby unit are running low. Replace
the non-rechargeable batteries or connect the baby unit to an electrical
outlet (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’).
ENGLISH 23
Question Answer
Why does the parent unit
beep?
If the parent unit beeps while the LINK light lights up red continuously
and the message ‘Not Linked’ is shown on the display, the connection
with the baby unit is lost. Move the parent unit closer to the baby unit.
If the parent unit beeps and the battery symbol on the display is
empty, the rechargeable battery pack of the parent unit is running low.
Recharge the battery pack.
If you have switched off the volume while the sound alert is on, the
parent unit beeps whenever the fourth sound level light lights up
because the baby unit has picked up a sound.
If you have set the room temperature range on the parent unit and the
temperature alert is on, the parent unit beeps when the temperature
drops below the set level or below 57°F or when the temperature rises
above the set level or above 86°F.
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 feet/1 meter away from each other.
The volume of the parent unit may be set too high. Decrease the volume
of the parent unit.
Why don’t I hear a sound/
Why can’t I hear my baby
cry?
The volume of the parent unit may be set too low or may be switched
off. Increase the volume of the parent unit.
The microphone sensitivity level of the baby unit may be set too low.
Set the microphone sensitivity level to a higher level in the menu of the
parent unit.
The baby unit and the parent unit may be out of range of each other.
Reduce the distance between the units.
Why does the parent unit
react too quickly to other
sounds?
The baby unit also picks up other sounds than those of your baby. Move
the baby unit closer to the baby (but observe the minimum distance of 3
feet/1 meter).
The microphone sensitivity level of the baby unit may be set too high.
Decrease the microphone sensitivity level in the menu of the parent unit.
Why does the parent unit
react slowly to the baby’s
crying?
The microphone sensitivity level of the baby unit may be set too low.
Increase the microphone sensitivity level in the menu of the parent unit.
Why do the non-
rechargeable batteries of the
baby unit run low quickly?
The microphone sensitivity level of the baby unit may be set too high,
which causes the baby unit to transmit more often. Decrease the
microphone sensitivity level in the menu of 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.
ENGLISH24
Question Answer
You may have set a maximum room temperature that is lower than the
actual room temperature or a minimum room temperature that is higher
than the actual room temperature. The baby unit continues to send data
to the parent unit and therefore uses more power.This causes the non-
rechargeable batteries of the baby unit to run low quickly.
Perhaps you have switched on the 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 exceed 8
hours?
The parent unit may be switched on during charging. Switch off the
parent unit during charging.
The specied operating
range of the baby monitor
is 330 meters/1000 feet.
Why does my baby monitor
manage a much smaller
distance than that?
The specied 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 50
meters/150 feet.
Why is the connection lost
every now and then?
Why are there sound
interruptions?
The baby unit and the parent unit are probably close to the 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.
What happens during a
power failure?
If the parent unit is sufciently charged, it continues to operate during a
power failure, both inside and outside the charger. If there are batteries in
the baby unit, it also continues to operate during a power failure.
Is my baby monitor secure
from eavesdropping and
interference?
The DECT technology of this baby monitor guarantees no interference
from other equipment and no eavesdropping.
The operating time of the
parent unit is supposed to
be at least 24 hours. Why
is the operating time of my
parent unit shorter?
When the parent unit has been charged for the rst time, the operating
time is less than 24 hours. The rechargeable battery pack only reaches its
full capacity after you have charged and discharged it at least four times.
The volume of the parent unit may be set too high, which causes the
parent unit to consume a lot of energy. Decrease the volume of the
parent unit
The microphone sensitivity level of the baby unit may be set too high,
which causes the parent unit to consume a lot of energy. Decrease the
microphone sensitivity level in the menu of the parent unit.
Why doesn’t the battery
symbol appear on the
display of the parent unit
when I start to recharge the
parent unit?
It may take a few minutes before the battery symbol appears on the
display of the parent unit when you charge the parent for the rst time
or after a long period of disuse.
