If the one of the adapters is damaged, always have it replaced by one of the original type in order to avoid a hazard.
Preparing for use
Your can use the baby monitor corded or battery operated.
Baby unit
You can use the baby unit corded or battery operated. Even if you are going to use the unit corded, we advise you to insert batteries. This guarantees automatic back-up in case of power supply failure.
Cord operation
1 Put the small plug in the baby unit.
2 Put the adapter in a wall socket. (Fig. 2)
Battery operation
The baby unit runs on four 1.5-volt R6 AA batteries (not included). We strongly advise you to use Philips LR6 PowerLife batteries.
Make sure your hands and the unit are dry when you insert the batteries.
1 Turn the battery compartment lid to the left (◀ OPEN) with the palm of your hand and remove it. (Fig. 3)
2 Insert four 1.5-volt AA batteries. (Fig. 4)
Make sure the + and - poles of the batteries point in the right direction.
3 Reattach the battery compartment lid by turning it to the right (▶ CLOSE) with the palm of your hand. (Fig. 5)
The baby unit is now ready for battery- operated use.
Note: When the batteries are running low, the battery-low light on the baby unit starts burning continuously.
Parent units
The parent units run on two rechargeable 1.2-volt AAA NiMh batteries (included).
Make sure your hands and the units are dry when you insert the batteries.
Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
Remove the batteries if you are not going to use the baby unit for a month or more.

4 Put the adapter in a wall socket.
5 Place the parent unit in the charger. (Fig. 9)
The power-on light goes on. (Fig. 10)
6 Leave the parent unit in the charger until the batteries are fully charged.
Charging takes at least 16 hours.
Charging will take longer than 16 hours when the parent unit is switched on during charging. To shorten the charging time, switch off the parent unit.
The power-on light stays on, even when the batteries are fully charged.
When the parent unit is fully charged, it has a cordless operation time of at least 8 hours.
Note: The operating time of 8 hours is 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 (when the baby does not make any sound).
Note: When the parent unit batteries are charged for the first time, the operating time will be less than 8 hours. The rechargeable batteries only reach their full capacity after you have charged and discharged them four times.
Note: When the parent unit is not in the charger, the batteries gradually discharge, even when the parent unit is switched off.
Note: When the batteries run low, the battery-low light on the parent unit starts to blink. Place the parent unit in the charger to recharge the batteries.

Features
Extra parent unit
This appliance comes with two parent units instead of one, so that your baby can be monitored by two persons at the same time.
Adjusting loudspeaker volume
1 Briefly press the volume + and – buttons on the baby unit until the desired loudspeaker volume for the baby unit has been reached. (Fig. 16)
2 Briefly press the volume + and – buttons on the parent unit until the desired loudspeaker volume for the parent unit has been reached. (Fig. 17)
Note: If you press the volume + and - buttons too long, the volume will not be adjusted.
Note: If the volume is set to a high level, the units consume more power.
Talk function
You can use the talk button on the parent unit to talk to your baby (e.g to comfort your baby).
1 Press and hold the talk button and talk clearly into the microphone. (Fig. 18)
2 Release the talk button when you have finished talking.
Note: When you press the talk button, you can no longer hear your baby.
Microphone sensitivity
With the sensitivity button on the parent unit you can set the sound that is picked up by the baby unit to the desired level. When the microphone sensitivity is at maximum level, the baby unit picks up all sounds (including your baby's breathing, when loud enough).
You can only change the microphone sensitivity if the connection between the baby unit and the parent unit has been established. This is the case when the connection lights on the parent unit and the baby unit burn green continuously.
1 Briefly press the sensitivity button on the parent unit. (Fig. 19)
The sound-level lights show the current sensitivity level for approximately 2 seconds.

- 1 light burns = minimum sensitivity level
- All 5 lights burn = maximum sensitivity level. At this level, the baby unit is in continuous transmission mode
Note: When the 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 unit consumes more power.
Silent baby monitoring
1 Briefly press the volume – button on the parent unit until the volume is switched off completely. (Fig. 20)
The volume is completely switched off when all sound-level lights are out.
As long as the baby unit does not detect a sound, all sound-level lights on the parent unit are out.
When the baby unit detects a sound, the sound-level lights on the parent unit go on.
Nightlight
1 Briefly press the nightlight button on the baby unit to switch on the nightlight.
2 Briefly press the nightlight button again to switch off the nightlight. (Fig. 21)
The nightlight gradually dims before it goes out completely.
3 Switch off the night light when operating the baby unit on batteries. This saves power.
Note: If you press the nightlight button too long, the nightlight will not go on or out.
Tip: Do not use the nightlight when you operate the baby unit on batteries. This saves power.

Frequently asked questions
This chapter lists the questions most frequently asked about the appliance. If you can't find the answer to your question, contact the Customer Care Centre in your country.
| Question | Answer |
| Why don't the connection lights burn at all? | There may be a connection problem. Check if the baby unit is connected to the mains or if the batteries are inserted properly and are not empty. Check if the batteries of the parent unit are properly inserted and still sufficiently charged. If the parent unit is in the charger, check if the charger is connected to the mains. Also check if the parent unit and the baby unit are switched on. |
| Why do the connection lights burn red while the parent unit beeps? | The baby unit and the parent unit may be out of range of each other. Reduce the distance between the units. |
| 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 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. Increase the volume of the parent unit. |
| The microphone sensitivity level may be set too low or may be switched off. Set the microphone sensitivity level on the parent unit to a higher level. | |
| 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 1 metre/3 feet). |
| The microphone sensitivity level may be set too high. Decrease the microphone sensitivity level on the parent unit. | |
| Why does the parent unit react to baby's crying slowly? | The microphone sensitivity level may be set too low or may be switched off. Increase the microphone sensitivity level on the parent unit. |
| Why does the battery-low light on the baby unit and/or parent unit burn? | The batteries are running low. Replace the batteries of the baby unit and/or recharge the batteries of the parent unit. |
| Why do the batteries of the baby unit run low quickly? | The microphone sensitivity level on the parent unit may be set too high, which causes the baby unit to transmit more often. Decrease the microphone sensitivity level 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 on the baby unit. |
| Why does the charging time of the parent unit exceed 16 hours? | The parent unit may be switched on during charging. Switch off the parent unit. |
| The specified operating range of the baby monitor is 300 metres/900 feet. Why does my baby monitor manage a much smaller distance than that? | The specified range is only valid outdoors in open air. Inside your house, the operating range is limited by the number type of walls and/or ceilings in between. Inside the house the operating range will be up to 50 metres/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 sufficiently charged, it will continue to operate during a power failure, both inside and outside the charger. If there are batteries in the baby unit, it will automatically switch to battery-operated use in case of 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. |
| Some buttons do not seem to work when I press them. What do I do wrong? | You should press all buttons (except the on/off buttons and the talk button) briefly. If you press them too long, they will not work. |
| The operating time of the parent unit is supposed to be at least 8 hours. Why is the operating time of my parent unit shorter? | When the parent unit batteries have been charged for the first time, the operating time will be less than 8 hours. The batteries only reach their full capacity after you have charged and discharged them 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 on the parent unit may be set too high, which causes the parent unit to consume a lot of energy. Decrease the microphone sensitivity level on the parent unit. |
