Humidity
When there is a connection between the baby unit and the parent unit, the humidity level is shown
on the display of both units.
The optimal humidity level is between 40% and 60%. It is very important to maintain the correct
humidity level as it helps to protect your baby from irritation of the mucous membranes, dry and
itchy skin, chapped lips and a dry, sore throat. When the mucous membranes do not function
optimally, they cannot give your baby full protection from all kinds of germs. This increases the
chance of your baby catching a cold or the u, and reduces its resistance to infections from mold
and bacteria.
Note: The baby monitor only measures the humidity level. You cannot adjust the humidity level with the
baby monitor.
Out of range alert
When the parent unit is out of range of the baby unit, the parent unit beeps from time to time and
the message ‘Not linked’ appears on the display. The LINK light on the parent unit lights up red.
Note: The message ‘Not Linked’ also appears on the display of the parent unit when the baby unit is
switched off.

1 Select ‘Sensitivity’ with the + and - buttons.
2 Press the OK button to conrm.
3 Select the desired microphone sensitivity level for the baby unit with the + and - buttons.
h = minimum sensitivity level
i = maximum sensitivity level
4 Press the OK button to conrm.
The message ‘Saved’ appears on the display.
Note: When the microphone sensitivity of the baby unit is set to a high level, it picks up more sounds and
therefore transmits more often. As a result, the units consume more power.
Sound alert on/off
Note: You can only switch the sound alert on and off in the menu of the parent unit.
This feature allows you to monitor your baby silently. It enables you to switch off the volume on
your parent unit and still be alerted if your baby cries.
If the sound alert is switched on, the parent unit beeps as soon as the fourth sound level light lights
up while the volume is switched off. In addition, the backlight of the parent unit display goes on and
the sound alert symbol ( g) ashes on the display.
1 Select ‘Sound Alert’ with the + and - buttons.
2 Press the OK button to conrm.
3 If the alert is off, the display shows ‘On?’. Press the OK button to switch on the alert. If the

If you have set the sound alert to ‘on’, the sound alert symbol ( g) appears on the display
of the parent unit.
Setting room temperature range
Note: You can only adjust the temperature range in the menu of the parent unit.
A baby will sleep comfortably in a room heated to a temperature between 61°F (16°C) and 68°F
(20°C). 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 (14°C) or rises above 86°F (30°C). 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.
Note: The temperature of the baby’s room is shown on the display of both units when they are linked.

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 rechargeable battery pack of the parent unit is 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 outlet 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 a power outlet. Replace the

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.

ENGLISH 21
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 rechargeable 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 (14°C) or
when the temperature rises above the set level or above 86°F (30°C).
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 of 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.
ENGLISH22
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. In this case the display is lit
all the time, which increases the power consumption of the baby unit.
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 outlet electricity.
Why does the charging
time of the parent unit
exceed 4 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 1000 feet/330
meters. 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 150 feet/50 meters.
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 rechargeable battery pack of 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,
