2 Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
3 Use this product for its intended household use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by Philips Electronics North America Corporation.
4 Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
5 Products should not be used while you are in a bathtub, shower or pool. Immersion of the product in water could cause an electrical shock.
6 Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom are provided for ventilation, to protect it from overheating. These openings should not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on the bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.
7 This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the type plate of the adapters (A-14, B14). If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
8 Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.
9 Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
10 Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
II To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to a qualified service personnel when service or repair work is required. Opening or removing covers (except battery compartment covers) may expose you to dangerous voltage or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.

17 Never place the baby unit inside the baby's bed or playpen.
18 Never cover the baby monitor (with a towel, blanket, etc.).
If your product utilizes batteries, the following additional precautions should be observed:
I Use only the type and size of the battery(ies) specified in the user manual.
2 Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in fire. They may explode. Check with local regulations for possible special disposal instructions.
3 Exercise care in handling battery(ies) in order not to short out the battery(ies) with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. Overcharging, short circuiting, reverse charging, mutilation, or incineration of the cells and the batteries must be avoided to prevent one or more of the following occurrences: release of toxic materials, release of hydrogen and/or oxygen gas, rise in surface temperature.
4 Do not attempt to recharge the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product that are not intended to be charged. The battery(ies) may leak corrosive electrolyte or explode.
5 Do not attempt to rejuvenate the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product by heating them. Sudden release of the battery(ies) electrolyte may occur causing burns or irritation to eyes or skin.
6 If and when necessary, these cells or batteries must be replaced with identical new ones from the same manufacturer. If a cell or a battery to be replaced is connected with other cells or batteries in series, it is recommended that the other cells or batteries be replaced with new ones at the same time.
7 Reverse polarity installation of the cell or the battery(ies) in the end product must be avoided. Reverse insertion of battery(ies) can cause charging, and that may result in leakage or explosion.
8 Remove battery(ies) from this product if storing over 30 days because the battery(ies) could leak and damage the product.
9 Discard 'dead' battery(ies) as soon as possible since 'dead' batteries are more likely to leak in a product. If a cell or a battery has leaked or vented, it should be replaced immediately using protective gloves.
10 Do not store this product, or the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product, in high-temperature areas. Batteries that are stored in a freezer or refrigerator for the purpose of extending shelf life should be protected from condensation during storage and defrosting. Batteries should be stabilized at room temperature prior to use after cold storage.
If your product use rechargeable battery(ies), charge the battery(ies) only in accordance with the instructions and limitation specified in the user manual.
12 Risk of explosion if batteries are replaced by an incorrect type. For the parent unit, always use rechargeable batteries.

Notes:
- Operation time will be 8 hours based on the assumption that the baby unit will be transmitting 25% of the time and is in standby mode for the rest of the time (baby does not any make sound).
- When the parent unit batteries are charged for the first time, operating time will be less than 8 hours. The batteries will use their maximum capacity after at least four times charging and discharging.
- Charging will take longer than 16 hours when the parent unit is switched on during charging. To shorten the charging time, the parent unit should be switched off.
→ The parent unit is now ready for use!

Question
The technical specifications show an operating range of 300 meters / 900 feet outdoors. How come my baby monitor manages much less than that?
The link is lost every now and then, sound interruptions etc.
What happens during a power supply failure?
Is my DECT baby monitor secure from eavesdropping and interference?
Some buttons do not seem to work when I press them. What do I do wrong?
I place the parent unit in the charging base (B-15) but the unit doesn't function.
Operating time of the parent unit batteries is supposed to be at least 8 hours. How come the battery operating time of my parent unit is less?
Answer
The specified range is only valid outdoors in open air. Inside your house the workable range is limited by the amount and type of walls and/or ceilings in between. Inside the house the operating range will be up to 50 meters / 150 feet.
You are probably approaching the outer limits of the practical range. Try a different location or decrease the distance between the units slightly. Please note that it takes about 30 seconds each time before a new link between the units is established.
When batteries are installed in the both units, the units will automatically switch over to battery use in case of power supply failure.
The 60 (for NA FCC / IC) channels guarantee no interference from other equipment.
Except for the On/Off buttons (A-1, B-6), only press the buttons briefly.
When the batteries of the parent unit are low, you have to wait for up to 20 minutes after placing the unit in the charger before the unit starts functioning.
When the parent unit batteries are charged for the first time, operating time will be less than 8 hours. The batteries will use their maximum capacity after at least four times charging and discharging.
Maybe the volume setting is too high. When the volume is set to a high level, the unit consumes more power. Set the volume to a lower level (B-10).
Maybe the microphone sensitivity setting is too high. When the sensitivity is set to a high level, the units consume more power. Set the sensitivity to a lower level (B-10).
When the set maximum temperature is lower than the room temperature, the unit consumes more power because the display is continuously lit. This is also the case when the set minimum temperature is higher than the room temperature.
