• SAFETY INFORMATION IMPORTANT! This monitor is restricted for indoor use only! The Tomy Baby Monitor is designed to help you monitor your child and is not a substitute for adult supervision. This product is not a toy. Always keep electrically operated items and their cables out of reach of babies and younger children. Under no circumstances should you place any part of your monitor in or on a cot. Ensure all wiring is positioned safely so that children cannot become entangled and that no trip hazard is created. Under no circumstances should the adaptors supplied with this monitor be used with any other equipment. No other adaptors than those supplied should be used with your monitor. Be careful not to position the adaptor where a child is likely to use it as a step. Putting weight on the adaptor while it is plugged in could damage the unit or cause injury to your child. It is normal for chargers to become hot during use – take care when handling, allow heat to disperse. DO NOT COVER. Disconnect charger if the product will not be used for several days. To prevent a shock hazard, please disconnect from power supply before cleaning. The rechargeable battery within the Parent Unit should be recycled. Do not dispose in normal waste. Do not attempt to dismantle any part of this product.

• BATTERY SAFETY Removal and replacement of batteries should be carried out by an adult or under adult supervision. Take special care to ensure batteries are inserted correctly, observing (+) and (-) polarity marks on battery and product. Do not short-circuit the contacts in the battery compartment or the battery terminals. Remove exhausted batteries from product. Do not mix old (used) and new batteries or batteries of different types, e.g. rechargeable and alkaline or batteries of different makes/brands. Dispose of exhausted batteries safely, and never dispose of batteries in a fire. Remove batteries from product after use or if storing for long periods. Only use batteries of the same or equivalent type to those recommended. Removal and recharging of rechargeable batteries should be carried out by an adult or under adult supervision. Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Help the environment by disposing of your product and packaging responsibly.

• FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. Does my Parent Unit need to be switched on or off whilst charging? A. Your Parent Unit will charge whilst switched on or off, however charging the unit whilst switched on will allow you to monitor your child whilst charging. Q. I have measured the temperature of my baby’s room using another device and I get a different reading than that of my monitor- why? A. The temperature measuring device within your Tomy monitor is designed to give you an indication of the baby’s room temperature to within a small tolerance of + 1°C or - 1°C. Other devices will also have a similar tolerance. Q. Can my monitor coexist with WI-FI and other 2.4GHz devices? A. The Tomy Digital Video Plus TDV450 operates on 2.4GHz, the same frequency used for wireless networking and short range communication devices such as WI-FI, Bluetooth, some Cordless Phones and Video Senders etc. To limit the interference caused by other devices operating at this frequency, the Tomy Digital Video Plus TDV450 utilises Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology, designed to coexist with such devices by continually searching and finding available channels within this set frequency band. To ensure the maximum number of available channels we recommend switching off any unused or unnecessary devices that may operate on this frequency. Importantly Analogue 2.4GHz devices as used with some Video Senders and alike are designed to flood the band width, significantly restricting the number of channels available for such digital devices. In this instance it will be necessary to switch off the analogue device to ensure unaffected monitoring.

Q. Can I use my monitor abroad? You can use your monitor in the country it was purchased and anywhere in the EU. Although 2.4GHz is a world wide band and your monitor may function correctly in other countries, its operating frequency may affect (or be affected by) other devices and could be illegal. Tomy cannot accept any liability for use outside of the country in which you purchased your monitor or the EU.
