Preparing for use

Baby unit

You can use the baby unit corded or on non-rechargeable batteries. Even if you are going to use the unit corded, we advise you to insert non-rechargeable batteries. This guarantees automatic back-up in case of power failure.

Corded operation

1 Put the large appliance plug in the baby unit and put the adapter in a wall outlet (Fig. 4).

Operation on non-rechargeable batteries

The baby unit runs on four 1.5V R6 AA batteries (not included). We advise you to use Philips LR6 PowerLife batteries or an equivalent type.

Do not use rechargeable batteries, as the baby unit does not have a charging function.

Place batteries in the baby unit if you do not want to use it corded or if you want to be sure of backup power in case of power failure. Replace the batteries when the baby unit indicates that the batteries are low (the empty battery symbol flashes on the display and the text 'Battery low' appears).

Unplug the baby unit and make sure your hands and the unit are dry when you insert the non-rechargeable batteries.

ECO mode

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.

Note: The operating range of the baby monitor when it is operated in the ECO mode is 850 feet/260 meters in open air. Depending on the surroundings and other factor that may cause interference, this range may be smaller.

1 Select 'ECO mode' with the + and - buttons (Fig. 32).
2 Press the OK button to confirm (Fig. 33).
3 If the ECO mode is off, the display shows 'On?'. Press the OK button to switch on the ECO mode. If the ECO mode is on, the display shows 'Off?'. Press the OK button to switch off the ECO mode.
If you have set the ECO mode to 'on', the parent unit switches off and on again. The ECO mode symbol appears on the display of the baby unit and the parent unit to indicate that both units now operate in ECO mode.

Note: The connection between parent and baby unit may be lost when the ECO mode is switched on. If this happens, the operating range may be too large for the ECO mode. In this case, either reduce the operating range or switch off the ECO mode.

Adjusting microphone sensitivity

Note: You can only adjust the microphone sensitivity in the menu of the parent unit.

You can set the microphone sensitivity of the baby unit to the desired level. You can only change the microphone sensitivity when a connection between the baby unit and the parent unit has been established, i.e. when the LINK light on the parent unit lights up green continuously.

2 Maximum sensitivity level

4 Press the OK button to confirm.

The message ‘Saved’ appears on the display.

Note: When the microphone sensitivity of the baby unit is set to a high level, it picks up more sounds and therefore transmits more often. As a result, the units consume more power and the operating time of the battery is shorter.

Sound alert on/off

Note: You can only switch the sound alert on and off in the menu of the parent unit.

This feature allows you to monitor your baby silently. It enables you to switch off the volume on your parent unit and still be alerted if your baby cries.

Frequently asked questions

This chapter lists the questions most frequently asked about the appliance. If you cannot find the answer to your question, visit our website www.philips.com/AVENT or call 1-800-54-AVENT (1-800-542-8368).

Question Answer

What is ECO mode?How does this mode help 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 environment-friendly.
Why don't both 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.
	Perhaps the non-rechargeable batteries of the baby unit are empty and the baby unit is not connected to a power outlet. Replace the non-rechargeable batteries or connect the baby unit to a power outlet. Then press the on/off button to establish connection with the parent unit.
	The baby unit and the parent unit may be out of range of each other. Move the parent unit closer to the baby unit, but not closer than 3.5 feet/1 meter.
	If the LINK light on the parent unit still does not start to flash, use the reset function to reset the units to their default settings.
Why does the LINK light on the parent unit light up red continuously and why is the message 'Searching' shown on the display?	The baby unit and the parent unit are out of range of each other. Move the parent unit closer to the baby unit.
	The baby unit may be switched off. Switch on the baby unit.
	The ECO mode is switched on, but the operating range is too large. Move the parent unit closer to the baby unit or switch off the ECO mode.
Why does the battery light on the baby unit flash red?	The non-rechargeable batteries of the baby unit are running low. Replace the non-rechargeable batteries or connect the baby unit to a power outlet (see chapter 'Preparing for use').
Why does the parent unit beep?	If the parent unit beeps while the LINK light lights up red continuously and the message 'Searching' is shown on the display, the connection with the baby unit is lost. Move the parent unit closer to the baby unit.

Question Answer

	If the parent unit beeps and the battery symbol on the display is empty, the rechargeable battery pack of the parent unit is running low. Recharge the parent unit.
	If you have switched off the volume while the sound alert is on, the parent unit beeps whenever the fourth sound level light lights up because the baby unit has picked up a sound.
	If you have set the room temperature range on the parent unit and the temperature alert is on, the parent unit beeps when the temperature drops below the set level or 57°F (14°C) or when the temperature rises above the set level or above 86°F (30°C).
	The baby unit may be switched off. Switch on the baby unit.
Why does the appliance produce a high-pitched noise?	The units may be too close to each other. Make sure the parent unit and the baby unit are at least 3.5 feet/1 meter away from each other.
	The volume of the parent unit may be set too high. Decrease the volume of the parent unit.
Why don't I hear a sound/Why can't I hear my baby cry?	The volume of the parent unit may be set too low or may be switched off. Increase the volume of the parent unit.
	The microphone sensitivity level of the baby unit may be set too low. Set the microphone sensitivity level to a higher level in the menu of the parent unit.
	The baby unit and the parent unit may be out of range of each other. Reduce the distance between the units.
Why does the parent unit react too quickly to other sounds?	The baby unit also picks up other sounds than those of your baby. Move the baby unit closer to the baby (but observe the minimum distance of 3.5 feet/1 meter).
	The microphone sensitivity level of the baby unit may be set too high. Decrease the microphone sensitivity level in the menu of the parent unit.
Why does the parent unit react slowly to the baby's crying?	The microphone sensitivity level of the baby unit may be set too low. Increase the microphone sensitivity level in the menu of the parent unit.
Why do the non-rechargeable batteries of the baby unit run low quickly?	The microphone sensitivity level of the baby unit may be set too high, which causes the baby unit to transmit more often. Decrease the microphone sensitivity level in the menu of the parent unit.
	The volume on the baby unit may be set too high, which causes the baby unit to consume a lot of energy. Decrease the volume of the baby unit.

Question Answer

	You may have set a maximum room temperature that is lower than the actual room temperature or a minimum room temperature that is higher than the actual room temperature. The baby unit continues to send data to the parent unit and therefore uses more power. This causes the non-rechargeable batteries of the baby unit to run low quickly.
	Perhaps you have switched on the nightlight. If you want to use the nightlight, we advise you to run the baby unit on electrical power.
Why does the charging time of the parent unit exceed 8 hours?	The parent unit may be switched on during charging. Switch off the parent unit during charging.
The specified operating range of the baby monitor is 100 feet/330 meters. Why does my baby monitor manage a much smaller distance than that?	The specified range is only valid outdoors in open air. Inside your house, the operating range is limited by the number and type of walls and/or ceilings in between. Inside the house, the operating range is up to 150 feet/50 meters.
	The ECO mode is switched on. When you operate the baby unit in ECO mode, the operating range is 800 feet/260 meters in open air. Inside your house, the operating range is limited by the number and type of walls and/or ceilings in between. Move the parent unit closer to the baby unit or switch off the ECO mode.
Why is the connection lost every now and then? Why are there sound interruptions?	The baby unit and the parent unit are probably close to the outer limits of the operating range. Try a different location or decrease the distance between the units. Please note that it takes about 30 seconds each time before a connection between the units is established.
What happens during a power failure?	If the parent unit is sufficiently charged, it continues to operate during a power failure, both inside and outside the charger. If there are batteries in the baby unit, it also continues to operate during a power failure.
Is my baby monitor secure from eavesdropping and interference?	The DECT technology of this baby monitor guarantees no interference from other equipment and no eavesdropping.
The operating time of the parent unit is supposed to be at least 24 hours. Why is the operating time of my parent unit shorter?	When the parent unit has been charged for the first time, the operating time is less than 24 hours. The rechargeable battery pack only reaches its full capacity after you have charged and discharged it at least four times.
	The volume of the parent unit may be set too high, which causes the parent unit to consume a lot of energy. Decrease the volume of the parent unit

Question Answer

The microphone sensitivity level of the baby unit may be set too high, which causes the parent unit to consume a lot of energy. Decrease the microphone sensitivity level in the menu of the parent unit.

Why doesn't the battery symbol appear on the display of the parent unit when I start to recharge the parent unit?

It may take a few minutes before the battery symbol appears on the display of the parent unit when you charge the parent for the first time or after a long period of non-use.
