6.7 Humidity

When there is a connection between the baby unit and the parent unit, the humidity level is shown on the display of both units. The optimal humidity level is between 40% and 60%. It is very important to maintain the correct humidity level as it helps to protect your baby from irritation of the mucous membranes, dry and itchy skin, chapped lips and a dry, sore throat. When the mucous membranes do not function optimally, they cannot give your baby full protection from all kinds of germs. This increases the chance of your baby catching a cold or the flu, and reduces its resistance to infections from mould and bacteria. The Philips AVENT Ultrasonic Humidifier can help you improve the air quality and maintain a comfortable humidity level in your baby’s room. Contact your local Philips Consumer Care Centre for stockists. D Note: The message ‘Not Linked’ also appears on the display of the parent unit when the baby unit is switched off. 7 Menu options All functions can be operated on the parent unit, but some functions can also be operated on the baby unit.

The LINK light on the parent unit flashes red.

7.2 ECO mode

D Note: You can only switch the ECO mode on and off in the menu of the parent unit. You can use the ECO mode to reduce the energy consumption of the appliance. Monitoring your baby from a small distance requires less transmission power and less electrical power than monitoring your baby from a large distance. When you monitor your baby from a small distance, you can activate the ECO mode. In the ECO mode, the appliance consumes less energy, but still ensures that you can always hear your baby clearly without any distracting noise. Using the baby monitor in the ECO mode helps you to preserve the environment.

• The ECO mode has been developed to enable you to reduce your energy consumption. Monitoring your baby from a small distance requires less power than monitoring your baby from a large distance. When you monitor your baby from a small distance, you can activate the ECO mode. By switching on the ECO mode, your baby monitor uses less energy and is therefore more enviornment-friendly. Why don’t the power-on light of the baby unit and the LINK light of the parent unit come on when I press the on/off buttons of the units?
• • Perhaps the rechargeable battery pack of the parent unit is empty and the parent unit is not in the plugged-in charger. Insert the small appliance plug into the charger, put the adapter of the charger in a wall socket and place the parent unit in the charger. Then press the on/ off button to establish connection with the baby unit.
