Wireless baby monitors create electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields. Electrical and magnetic fields in the baby's vicinity can be avoided completely by operating the baby device with a battery pack or batteries. During mains operation, place the AC adapter as far away from the baby as possible. Electromagnetic fields occur during wireless operation. Place the baby device at least 1 metre away from the baby. ● Never cover the baby device (e.g. with a towel, sheet, etc.) ● Use a damp cloth to clean the Babyfon

Switch on the parent device and select the same channel as on the baby device. Important information Please read these instructions carefully. This Babyfon is only intended as an aid. It is not a substitute for responsible, correct parental supervision and should therefore not be used as such. ● Never place the Babyfon and the connecting cable within the baby's reach; please observe a minimum distance of 1 metre. ● Never place the baby device in the baby's cot or playpen. ● Never use the Babyfon near water or in damp places. ● Avoid exposure to extreme heat or strong light. ● Never open the housings or AC adapters (danger of electric shock!). ● Make sure that the local mains voltage corresponds to the voltage specified on the AC adapter. ● Avoid touching the battery and charging contacts. Do not touch the contacts with metal objects.

Your Babyfon is now ready for use. Transmission begins automatically when the baby device is activated by a noise.

10. Using a radio, for example, you can test whether transmission is ensured at the

location you have chosen.

Using your Babyfon Set the volume on the parent device to the level required. If the baby device is activated by a noise in the baby's bedroom, transmission starts automatically and the power-on lamp of the parent device changes from green to red for the duration of the transmission.

Explanation of functions

Slide the battery compartment lid back on to the battery compartment and tighten the screw again. This ensures that the battery compartment cannot be opened by accident.

Make sure that both devices are switched on and that the same channel is selected. Set the response sensitivity of the microphone on the baby device to the level you require. To begin with, we recommend a middle position that can later be adjusted as required. When using standard 1.5V AAA battery packs, these must be removed from the battery compartment for charging and recharged using a standard battery pack charger. When using the Babyfon battery pack EAB 4, this can be charged using the charging function integrated in the parent device. When inserting the battery pack, make sure that the polarity is correct and that the charging contact has been made in the battery compartment (see B20 on parent device).

To re-attach the belt clip to the device, insert and slide upwards.

The charging time is approx. 15 hours. Digital pilot tone / preventing interference 250 m range In ideal conditions, the range of your Babyfon outdoors is approx. 250 metres. Obstacles such as walls, ceilings or large objects affect the range. The more obstacles there are between the baby and parent devices, the smaller the range becomes. Baby device Proceed as you did with the parent device. However, Babyfon battery packs cannot be used and charged in the baby device.

Besides the sounds made by the baby, the baby device also transmits an inaudible signal tone. The parent device only begins reception when this signal tone is received. This practically rules out the reception of external wireless baby monitors. In rare cases, however, interference from other wireless devices in the vicinity may occur. In the event of such interference or poor reception, switch both devices to the other channel. Battery alarm A signal tone and the flashing power-on lamp warn you as soon as the battery pack or batteries in the parent device are empty. You should then insert new batteries or recharge the battery pack. Using batteries or rechargeable battery packs Disposal of batteries / battery packs Consider the environment when disposing of the batteries or battery packs, which must not be thrown away with domestic rubbish. Do not use old and new batteries or different battery types simultaneously. Remove batteries from the device if it is not to be used for a long time. Parent device
