Question Answer
Why don’t the power-on
light of the baby unit and
the parent unit go on
when I switch on the
units?
Perhaps the rechargeable battery of the parent unit is empty and the
parent unit is not connected to the power outlet. Insert the
appliance plug into the parent unit and put the adapter in a wall
outlet. Then move the volume wheel in the ‘ON’ direction to switch
on the parent unit and to establish connection with the baby unit.
Perhaps the baby unit is not connected to the power outlet and the
non-rechargeable batteries in the baby unit are empty or there are no
non-rechargeable batteries in the baby unit at all. Put full non-
rechargeable batteries in the baby unit or connect the baby unit to
the power outlet. Then set the on/off switch to ‘ON’ to switch on the
baby unit and to establish connection with the parent unit.
Why does the LINK light
on the parent unit ash
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/
power-on light on the
parent unit ash green?
The rechargeable battery of the parent unit is running low. Recharge
the battery (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’).
Why does the parent
unit beep?
If the parent unit beeps while the LINK light lights up red continuously,
the connection with the baby unit is lost. Move the parent unit closer
to the baby unit.
The baby unit may be switched off. Switch on the baby unit.

ENGLISH 17
Question Answer
Why does the video
monitor 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 1 metre/3 feet 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. Turn the volume wheel to a higher volume level.
Perhaps you have switched on the automatic screen activation. If the
automatic screen activation is activated, the video display only
switches on when the baby unit picks up a sound. As long as no sound
is detected, the video display is off to save power.
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 1 metre/3 feet).
Why do the non-
rechargeable batteries of
the baby unit run low
quickly?
Perhaps you have switched on the nightlights. If you want to use the
nightlights, we advise you to use the baby unit corded.
Perhaps you are playing lullabies. The baby unit consumes a lot of
energy when you play lullabies. If you play lullabies, we advise you to
use the baby unit corded.
Why does the charging
time of the parent unit
exceed 3.5 hours?
The parent unit may be switched on during charging. Switch off the
parent unit during charging.
The specied operating
range of the baby
monitor is 150
metres/490 feet. Why
does my baby monitor
manage a much smaller
distance than that?
The specied 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 between the parent unit and the baby unit.
Why can’t I establish a
connection? 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 or there is interference from other
2.4GHz wireless devices. Try a different location, decrease the distance
between the units or switch off other 2.4GHz wireless devices. Please
note that it takes about 5 seconds each time before a connection
between the units is established.
What happens during a
power failure?
If the parent unit is sufciently charged, it continues to operate during
a power failure. If there are batteries in the baby unit, it also continues
to operate during a power failure.

Question Answer
The operating time of
the parent unit is
supposed to be at least 6
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 shorter because the battery has not reached its full
capacity yet. The rechargeable battery only reaches its full capacity
after you have charged and discharged it at least four times. After
this, the operating time is 6 hours if the automatic screen activation is
not activated and 8 hours if the automatic screen activation mode is
activated.
The parent unit consumes a lot of energy when the video display is
switched on continuously. Activate the automatic screen activation
mode to increase the operating time (see chapter ‘Features’, section
‘Automatic screen activation’).
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
Why do I get
interference on the
parent unit?
Interference may occur when the parent unit is out of range of the
baby unit. Interference may also occur if there are too many walls or
ceilings between the parent unit and the baby unit or when other
2.4GHz wireless devices are switched on (e.g. microwave, internet).
Put the parent unit in a different place, closer to the baby unit, or
switch off other wireless devices.
Why does the parent
unit make a buzzing
sound?
Interference may occur when the parent unit is out of range of the
baby unit. Interference may also occur if there are too many walls or
ceilings between the parent unit and the baby unit or when other
2.4GHz wireless devices are switched on (e.g. microwave, internet).
Put the parent unit in a different place, closer to the baby unit, or
switch off other wireless devices.
The rechargeable battery of the parent unit may need to be charged.
Why does the video
display icker?
Interference may occur when the parent unit is out of range of the
baby unit. Interference may also occur if there are too many walls or
ceilings between the parent unit and the baby unit or when other
2.4GHz wireless devices are switched on (e.g. microwave, internet).

brightness (see chapter ‘Features’).
Why doesn’t the parent
unit work in the
automatic screen
activation mode?
The distance between the baby and the baby unit may be too large.
Make sure that the baby unit is placed 1 to 1.5 metres/3 to 5
feet away from the baby.
