Important safety notices

1. Your baby monitor is designed as just an aid. It isn't a substitute for responsible and proper adult supervision.
2. Make sure all cables and units are out of your baby's reach – at least one metre away.
3. Never cover either unit, put them in moist places or inside the cot, bed or playpen.
4. If you travel abroad, check the voltage on your unit's plugs match the local power output.
5. Only use the battery supplied for the Parent unit. If you need to replace it, contact our helpdesk.
6. Do not take the product apart. If you need repairs, get in touch with our helpdesk.
7. The Baby unit might get warm after it's been on for a while. Don't worry – this is normal, and it's perfectly safe.

Welcome

Thanks for buying this BT Baby Monitor.

You'll soon be able to relax knowing you can watch and listen to your baby's every breath, gurgle and wriggle.

But first things first. To get set up, just follow the steps over the page. Set-up only takes a few minutes.

Then, you can learn all about your monitor and how to use it from page 10.

Need some help? No problem – give us a call on 0808 100 6554*, or go to bt.com/producthelp. Once you've set things up, you can tap BT Help on your Parent unit to run through the set-up wizard again.

* Calls made from within the UK mainland are free. Mobile and international call costs may vary.

Getting set up

1 Place the Parent unit near a power socket in the room where you're going to be monitoring your baby most of the time. (Most people have their Parent unit on a bedside table).

2 Using one of your two micro USB cables, plug one end into the power plug.

When does near become too far?

The maximum range between your Parent and Baby units is about 300 metres outdoors and about 50 metres indoors. Thick walls and doors reduce the units' range and affect how they link to each other.

Tip

You can also charge your Parent unit using other micro USB cables. This can be handy when you're away from home with your baby.

Getting set up

3 Plug the other end into the Parent unit, then plug the power plug into the power socket and switch the power on.

4 Pull the battery tab out of the Parent unit.

Tip

When your Parent unit charges while switched off, it turns itself off when fully charged. This means the battery icon goes off, too.

Getting set up

5 Leave the Parent unit to charge for at least five hours.

You can tell it's fully charged when the green battery icon on the screen is solid green.

Simple line drawing of a two-down drawer setup with a monitor and a bag, no text or symbols present.

Important note about batteries

A fully charged Parent unit will last about 6.5 hours with normal use. To speed up charging, charge the Parent unit when it's switched off. You can also charge the Parent unit and use it at the same time, but it'll charge more slowly and take longer to fully charge. If the Parent unit battery is low with only about 30 minutes' charge left, you'll hear an alert tone. If this happens, put the Parent unit back on charge if you want to keep monitoring your baby.

Getting set up

6 After the Parent unit has charged for five hours you're ready to set up your Baby unit (camera). To get the best performance, place your Baby unit between one and two metres away from your baby. If you like, you can also attach the unit to a wall. See page 33 for how to do this. Make sure there's enough slack in the power cable so the Baby unit can pan freely.

Tip

Point the Baby unit's camera to the centre of the mattress or playpen. You can always adjust this later.

Important note

The Baby unit might get warm after it's been on for a while. Don't worry – this is normal, and it's perfectly safe.

Getting set up

7 Using your other micro USB cable, plug one end into the power plug and the other end into the Baby unit. Plug the power plug into the power socket and switch the power on.

8 Press and hold the power button for a second or two. The link light will flash green and the nightlight will light on and off.

Important note about connections

If the Parent and Baby unit lose the link or connection between them, the link light will flash and the screen will say the link is lost, and is trying to reconnect. If after 30 seconds there's still no link, you'll hear an alert tone from the Parent unit. First, check on your baby and then follow the steps from step 7 again to set up the link again.

Getting set up

9 Press the power button to switch on your Parent unit. The Parent and Baby unit will link automatically and the Baby unit's link light will turn solid green.

The first time you switch on your Parent unit, a set-up wizard asks you to set the time and then shows you all your baby monitor's features.

If you want, you can skip through the set-up wizard by tapping the screen or tapping Exit, when shown.

When you exit the set-up wizard, the Parent unit will show you the live view from the Baby unit and you're all set up!

Tip

If you ever want to watch the set-up wizard again, tap Menu and then BT Help, then Introduction.

Cry Alerts

How to know when your child is making a sound

Babies make all sorts of sounds, from gurgling and snuffling to chatting and crying. Cry alerts do exactly as they say. They won't alert you to every little snuffle, but only when your child is making a loud noise. A cry alert only sounds when the Parent unit is on mute.

1 In Menu, tap Get Alerts.

Cry Alerts

2 Tap the kind of alert you want.

Cry Alerts

During an alert, tap Dismiss to stop it or Settings to change it.

If the screen alert is set to off, press any button on the Parent unit to dismiss the alert.

Night vision

The Baby unit has a night vision mode that allows you to monitor your baby in dark rooms. The Baby unit has infra red LEDs that are invisible to your baby so they don't disturb or distract them.

The night vision mode will automatically turn on when the ambient light drops and the room becomes dark. The image will turn to a black and white image as shown below:

The night vision works best when the Baby unit is placed between 1 and 2 metres from your baby. Any further away and the image will not be as clear.

Help and troubleshooting

If you have any problems setting up or using your baby monitor, see if these common questions can help.

How long does the Parent unit battery last?

A fully charged Parent unit will last about 6.5 hours with normal use. To speed up charging, charge the Parent unit when it's switched off. You can also charge the Parent unit and use it at the same time, but it'll charge slower and take longer to fully charge.

How do I replace the battery?

You should only use a Lithium 3.7V 2500mAh 9.25Wh battery from our helpdesk. Call us on 0808 100 6554* when you need to replace it. When you get it, take off the battery compartment cover and pull the tab inside to get the old battery out. Then insert your new battery and put the cover back on.

How do I attach my Baby unit to a wall?

You get some screws and plugs with your baby monitor.

Here's what to do.

1. Make sure the wall can support the Baby unit.
2. Make sure the power plug can reach the power socket.
3. Check that you aren't drilling into any hidden wiring or plumbing. BT isn't responsible for any damage or injury caused while trying to wall mount your Baby unit.
4. Use a pencil to mark where you want your Baby unit.
5. Check the reception strength of the Baby unit and its camera angle before drilling two 5mm holes, 37mm apart.

My Parent/Baby unit isn't working. What should I do? Check that:

1. power cables are plugged in and switched on at the wall socket
2. batteries are installed correctly and fully charged
3. the units are turned on
4. the Parent unit isn't too far from the Baby unit(s) (large obstructions or other electrical devices might affect the signal between the Parent and Baby unit).

Sometimes unplugging the power cables, waiting about 20 seconds, and then plugging them back in can help. If you do this, you'll need to allow about a minute for Parent and Baby unit(s) to link.

My Parent/Baby unit is making a high-pitched noise. What should I do?

They might be too close together. Make sure they're at least 2–3 metres apart.

How do I reset my Parent unit?

In Menu, tap BT Help then tap Factory Reset.

How do I reset my Baby unit?

Within three seconds of the Baby unit starting, press and hold down the ⏻ and ⏻ buttons for about five seconds.

Why is my Parent unit beeping?

The Parent unit beeps when:

• your units aren't linking – see page 8.
• there's a problem with mains or battery power
• a crying alert is switched on – see page 25.
