1 General safety information

With the Baby Care 2 Babyphone you have purchased a quality AUDIOLINE product. Please read these operating instructions carefully in order to learn about all the options. If you should have any questions, please contact our Service Department on the Hotline number 0180 5 00 13 88. Under no circumstances open the unit yourself and do not try to carry out your own repairs. For any claims under the warranty, please refer to your dealer.

Intended use

The unit is designed for transmitting speech signals such as noises made by children. Warning or signal tones from breathing or heartbeat monitors CANNOT be transmitted.

NOTE: The use of this unit CANNOT replace the personal supervision of a child or other person requiring care. No liability that falls outside the statutory regulations can be accepted.

Safety Information

• The unit is not suitable for medicinal applications.
• Maintain a safe distance of at least one metre when using the unit.
• Use only high-quality batteries.
• For safety reasons, use only the original power supplies provided. The unit may set on fire if unsuitable power supplies are used.
• When using a power supply, make sure that the cable and plug are in perfect condition. Kinked or chafed cables can cause a short-circuit. Note: Fire hazard.

• Ensure that all components are adequately ventilated during operation. Do not place pillows or towels on the units.

• Do not use the units in areas where there is a risk of explosion.

• The units are designed for use in protected rooms with a temperature range of 10 °C to 30 °C. The units must not be installed in damp rooms such as a bathroom or laundry room. Avoid proximity to sources of heat such as radiators and do not expose the unit to direct sunlight.
• If the useful life of the complete equipment has expired, please dispose of it carefully in accordance with the statutory requirements and in a manner friendly to the environment.
• The maximum range is up to 300 metres outdoors and up to 50 metres indoors.

- General safety information -

Rechargeable standard batteries/ordinary batteries

• Use only high-quality batteries for the baby unit as a backup in the case of supply failure or in battery mode.
- For the parent unit, use only standard rechargeable batteries, Type AA 1.2V 1300mAh.
• Always change all standard rechargeable batteries/ordinary batteries at the same time.
- Do not throw standard rechargeable batteries/ordinary batteries into the fire or immerse in water.
- If you are not using the units over an extended period, please remove the standard rechargeable batteries/ordinary batteries. Long-term storage with the standard rechargeable batteries/ordinary batteries fitted can cause the batteries to leak.
- Do not dispose of old or defective standard rechargeable batteries/ordinary batteries with the normal household waste. You are legally obliged to return all batteries and rechargeable batteries to suitable collection points.

Position

Do not set up the units in the immediate vicinity of other electrical equipment such as microwaves or hi-fi systems, as this may result in mutual interference. The location has a decisive influence on trouble-free operation.

Place the units on a flat and non-slip surface. The feet do not normally leave any marks on the surface. However, due to the large number of varnishes and surfaces in use, it may not be possible to prevent marks occurring on the surface due to the feet of the unit.

Cleaning and care

The surface of the case can be cleaned with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Never use cleaning agents, particularly aggressive solvents. No attention is necessary apart from cleaning the case occasionally. The rubber feet of the Babyphone are not resistant to all cleaning agents. The manufacturer can therefore not accept any liability for possible damage to furniture or the like.
