Frequently Asked Questions - AVENT Audio Monitors SCD585 PHILIPS

How to pair the parent unit and baby unit?

Place both units within 1 meter of each other. Press the PAIR button on the baby unit until the light flashes, then press and hold the PAIR button on the parent unit. The connection will establish automatically.

What is the maximum range of this monitor?

Indoors, the range can reach 50 meters, and up to 300 meters outdoors. Obstacles (walls, doors) reduce the range.

Can I use rechargeable batteries in the parent unit?

Yes, you can use rechargeable AA batteries (NiMH recommended). Charging time depends on battery type.

How to activate the night light remotely?

From the parent unit, press the NIGHT LIGHT button. The baby unit's night light will turn on with a soft glow.

What to do if the parent unit makes no sound?

Check that the units are turned on and paired. Make sure the volume on the parent unit is not set to minimum. If the problem persists, reset both units by turning them off and on again.

How to clean the units?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth (clean water) to clean the surfaces. Never immerse the devices in water and do not use chemical cleaners.

The monitor emits interference, what to do?

This monitor uses DECT technology to avoid interference. If interference persists, move the baby unit away from other electronic devices (WiFi, microwaves). You can also change the channel (if available).

How to adjust the sound level displayed by the LEDs?

The LEDs on the parent unit indicate the sound level detected by the baby unit. The more LEDs lit, the louder the sound. This adjustment is automatic; you can adjust sensitivity via the SENSITIVITY menu.

What does the flashing power LED mean?

A rapid flash indicates low battery or loss of connection between units. Recharge or replace the batteries, or move the units closer.

Can I add multiple baby units?

Yes, this monitor can handle up to 4 baby units (compatible models). You can monitor them from a single parent unit using the automatic scan function.

Preparing for use

IMPORTANT: Read the safety instructions carefully before you use the baby monitor and keep them for future reference.

Baby unit

We advise you to use the baby unit from the mains. To guarantee automatic power backup in case of mains failure, you can insert four 1.5V AA alkaline batteries (not included).

Do not use rechargeable batteries. The baby unit does not have a charging function and rechargeable batteries discharge slowly when they are not in use.

Parent unit

The parent unit runs on two rechargeable batteries that are supplied with the baby monitor. Charge the parent unit before you use it for the first time and when the batteries are low.

Please note that you have to charge the parent unit for the full 14 hours to have a cordless operating time of 25 hours.

Note: When you start using the baby monitor, it takes four charge and discharge cycles before the rechargeable batteries reach their full capacity.

Using the baby monitor

Positioning the baby monitor

Keep the baby unit out of the reach of the baby. Never place the baby unit inside the baby's bed or playpen.

• Because the cord of the baby unit presents a potential strangulation hazard, make sure that the baby unit and its cord are at least 1 metre/3.5 feet away from your baby.
• To prevent a high-pitched sound from one or both units, make sure the parent unit is at least 1 metre/3.5 feet away from the baby unit.

Linking parent unit and baby unit

1 Press and hold the ⏻ button on the baby unit for 2 seconds until the power-on light goes on.

2 Press and hold the ⏻ button on the parent unit for 2 seconds until the display lights up. The 'link' light on the parent unit starts flashing red and the message 'I AM LINKING' appears on the display.
When the parent unit and baby unit are linked, the 'link' light turns solid green. The signal strength indicator and the message 'LINKED' appear on the display.
If no connection is established, the message NOT LINKED is displayed and the parent unit starts to beep.

What to do if no link is established

• If the parent unit is out of range, place it closer to the baby unit, but not closer than 1 metre/3.5 feet.
• If the baby or parent unit is too close to another DECT appliance (e.g. a cordless phone), switch off this appliance or move the unit away from this appliance.
• If the baby unit is switched off, switch it on.

Operating range

- The operating range is 330 metres/1000 feet outdoors and up to 50 metres/150 feet indoors.

- The operating range of the baby monitor varies depending on the surroundings and factors that cause interference. Wet and moist materials cause so much interference that the range loss is up to 100%. For interference from dry materials, see table below

Dry materials Material thickness Loss of range

Wood, plaster, cardboard, glass (without metal, wires or lead)

< 30cm (12in) 0-10%

Brick, plywood < 30cm (12in) 5-35%

Reinforced concrete < 30cm (12in) 30-100%

Metal grilles or bars < 1cm (0.4in) 90-100%
