1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTENDED USE:

The Alecto DBX-62 is a wireless baby intercom to remotely listen to sounds coming from the baby room. Alecto DBX-63 is an add-on baby unit for use with the DBX-62. You can register up to 4 separate baby units, so you can listen to a maximum of 4 baby units with a single parent unit.

Attention:

Only use the baby intercom as an additional peace of mind, it can never serve as a replacement for an adult or human (baby) sitter.

This baby intercom has a range of 1000 meters in an open field and up to 150 meters indoors; this range depends on local conditions (concrete walls, other baby intercoms, wireless phones, etc.).

Before every use, always check whether the baby intercom is functioning correctly. In addition to checking the baby intercom's range and connection, it's recommended to check its connection by ear while in use.

The DBX-62/63 may not be used for anything else besides detecting sounds within your own private surroundings; any person located in the room that's being listened to must be informed about the baby intercom being used.

You are not required to have a license for the use of this baby intercom. The system can be freely applied in any domestic situation. However, an interference-free signal transmission cannot always be guaranteed.

6 EXPANSION

The DBX-62 is capable of registering up to 4 baby units. This way you can monitor 4 babies and because you can assign an individual name to each unit, you can directly determine which child is crying. Additionally, for each baby unit you can set the talk-back function, feeding timer, room temperature, lullabies and night light.

6.1 CODING SWITCH:

In the battery compartment you'll find a coding switch with 4 positions corresponding with baby units 1, 2, 3 and 4. Make sure to set an individual code for each baby unit.

6.2 REGISTERING:

Upon expanding, you must register (re-register) ALL baby units, also the baby units that were already registered.

Preparation:

Both the parent unit and baby unit must be switched off (parent unit: briefly press and hold the button until the display is completely blank, baby unit: slide the power switch to the OFF position), but the power supply (adaptor or batteries) must be connected).

1. press and hold the TALK button on the rear of the parent unit
2. now press and hold the button for approximately 3 seconds until the parent unit turns on and P/PAIRING appears in the display with the P flashing. Now release both buttons
3. press and hold the + button on the baby unit
4. now slide the power switch to the ON position, the red light will turn on, and release the + button
5. briefly press the button, the display of the parent unit will show 'PAIRING BABY X (*) OK and you'll hear 2 beep tones from the baby unit you just registered
6. repeat instructions 3, 4 and 5 for the other baby units
7. finally, turn the parent unit and all baby units off and back on
8. the registration is now complete

^* : X = 1-4, corresponding to the position of the coding switch

6.3 USING MULTIPLE BABY UNITS:

• To make the use of multiple baby units easier, you can assign real names to the baby units instead of 'baby-1', 'baby-2', etc. For this, see paragraph 5.4.

• When all babies are sleeping and the baby units are all set to sleep mode, the parent unit will first show the status of baby unit 1 (temperature, battery indication, night light or lullabies are switched in, etc.), after 15 seconds the status of baby unit 2, then unit 3 and finally unit 4. This cycle is repeated for as long as all babies are sleeping (or quiet).

• Unregistered baby units will be skipped.

• When a baby unit is registered, but not in communication with the parent unit (out of range, empty battery, switched off), the parent unit will emit a warning signal. Only after the cause for this out-of-range notification is cleared, will the parent unit switch over to the next baby unit.
• As soon as one of the babies starts crying, the parent unit will instantly indicate the sound and status of the baby unit where the crying is coming from. Don't forget that baby unit 1 always has the priority; this means that when all babies are crying, the parent unit will indicate the status of baby unit 1. The sequence is: baby-1, baby-2, baby-3, baby-4.

- When several babies are crying, the status of the first crying baby will be shown (see above sequence) in the display, but the display will indicate that another baby is crying.

Brian is crying, his status is indicated and you'll hear the sound

Angel is also crying,

You can now briefly press the button to switch priority and check the status and sounds of Angel (in the situation mentioned above).

- For each baby unit, you can turn the night light on or off, turn the lullabies on or off and activate the feeding timer (feeding intervals are the same for all baby units). For turning these functions on or off and talking back to the baby unit, the parent unit must be in communication with the concerned baby unit (the name of this baby unit must be shown in the display).

6.4 DEREGISTERING:

- Defective baby units or units no longer in use must be erased from the parent unit's memory to prevent the parent unit from constantly indicating an out-of-range error for that baby unit. You can do this by re-registering the baby units that are still in use. Only the baby unit you're no longer using should not be re-registered. It is not possible to deregister a specific baby unit at the parent unit.

7 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND TIPS

7.1 BATTERY CHECK:

The display of the parent unit will indicate the battery charge status of both the parent unit and the baby unit.

As soon as the battery of the parent unit or baby unit becomes exhausted, the symbol will flash in the display, the warning "WEAK BATTERY" will appear and the unit will emit beep tones.

You can turn these beep tones off by briefly pressing the ⏻button.

- When the baby unit is powered by the power adaptor, the display will always indicate full batteries, whether batteries are installed or not

• The POWER indicator on the baby unit shows the battery status. As long as this light remains lit, the batteries are OK. When this light starts flashing, please replace the batteries or connect the adaptor.
• The battery indication will scroll -→ while the batteries of the parent unit are being charged.

7.2 BATTERY LIFE:

With a fully charged battery pack (parent unit) or with full batteries (baby unit), the baby monitor can function for 12 to 20 hours.

The times mentioned above are references only and depend on settings and use (a higher volume, the night light being switched, how often and for how long the baby is crying, the quality of the batteries, etc.).

7.3 POWER SUPPLY:

Adaptors:

When using adaptors, only use the supplied adaptors. Connecting power adaptors other than the supplied adaptors can cause damage to the electronics of the baby intercom.

Batteries:

In the parent-unit, you may only install a RECHARGEABLE battery pack of the type Lithium-Polymer, voltage 3.7V, power 720mAh.

In the baby-unit, you can install any normal or rechargeable batteries of the type AAA or pencil cell. However, rechargeable batteries must be charged using a separate battery charger.

7.4 APRS (variable transmission power):

The DBX-62 is provided with the APRS transmission system. This Automatic Power Reduction System monitors the transmitting power at which the parent unit and baby unit exchange signals, ensuring a minimum in transmission power while maintaining a 100% reliable signal transfer.

This means that the baby unit will never transmit with more power than what is required for a good connection.

7.5 MAINTENANCE:

Only clean the baby monitor with a moist cloth; never use chemical cleaners. Before any cleaning, you must disconnect the adapters. Before cleaning, any connected power adaptors must be disconnected.

7.6 ENVIRONMENT:

The packaging of this baby video monitor can be discarded as waste paper. At the end of the product's life span, it must not be disposed of as normal domestic waste. You must bring it to a collection point for the recycling of electric and electronic equipment.

You must bring exhausted or defective batteries to your local t for small chemical waste or to dedicated battery collection points. Never discard batteries as normal domestic waste.
