Link check:

Should the connection between the parent unit and the baby unit be broken, the antenna symbol ( ① ) in the display will flash and a beep tone will sound continuously.

The reason for this could be because the parent unit is out of range from the baby unit or because the power of the baby monitor has run down.

9. Others

General:

The baby monitor should only be used as an aid and never as a replacement for an adult or babysitter.

Check the function ability of the baby monitor each time before use. In addition to checking the range and connection control of the DBX-20, it is recommended to regularly check the connection during usage.

The DBX-20 should not be used for anything else than for detecting sounds from within your own private premises; anyone else within the listening perimeter of the baby monitor should be informed.

A licence is not required in order to use a wireless baby monitor. The system can be used as needed from within the home. There is no guarantee however, that the signal will always have an interference-free signal.

If the baby monitor and parent unit are not being used, it is advisable to turn them off using the on/off button.

Range:

The connection range of the baby monitor is up to 300 meters in an open field and 50 meters in a house.

System Expansion:

The technology behind the DBX-20 makes it possible for more baby monitors (baby unit and parent unit) to be used next to each other in order to monitor multiple baby rooms simultaneously and still have an interference-free signal; each parent unit and baby unit is equipped with a unique code. This code prevents the DBX-20 from picking up sounds from other baby monitors in the area, or that other baby monitors pick up the sounds coming from your baby monitor.

It is not possible to expand your DBX-20 with additional single baby units or single parent units.

Maintenance:

Clean the baby monitor with a damp cloth; never use chemical cleaners. Before cleaning any attached power adapters should be disconnected.
