If your product utilizes batteries, the following additional precautions should be

1 Use only the type and size of batteries specied in the user manual.

2 Do not dispose of batteries in re. They may explode. Check with local regulations for possible

special disposal instructions.

3 Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short out the batteries with conducting

materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. Overcharging, short circuiting, reverse charging,

mutilation, or incineration of batteries must be avoided to prevent one or more of the following

occurrences: release of toxic materials, release of hydrogen and/or oxygen gas, rise in surface

4 Do not attempt to recharge batteries provided with or identied for use with this product that

are not intended to be charged. The batteries may leak corrosive electrolyte or explode.

5 Do not attempt to rejuvenate the batteries provided with or identied for use with this product

by heating them. Sudden release of battery electrolyte may occur, causing burns or irritation to

6 If and when necessary, the batteries must be replaced with identical new ones from the same

manufacturer. If a battery to be replaced is connected with other batteries in series, it is

recommended that the other batteries be replaced with new ones at the same time.

7 Reverse polarity installation of the batteries in the end product must be avoided. Reverse

insertion of batteries can cause charging, and that may result in leakage or explosion.

8 Remove batteries from this product if you store the product over 30 days because the batteries

could leak and damage the product.

in case of power failure.

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 ashes on the display and the text ‘Battery low’

Unplug the baby unit and make sure your hands and the unit are dry when you insert the

6 Press the MENU button again to exit the menu.

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).

mode. If the ECO mode is on, the display shows ‘Off?’. Press the OK button to switch off the

, 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.

ENGLISH 151 Select ‘Sensitivity’ with the + and - buttons. (Fig. 32)

Setting room temperature range

Note: You can only adjust the temperature range in the menu of the parent unit.

A baby will sleep comfortably in a room heated to a temperature between 61°F (16°C) and 68°F

(20°C). This is important, since a baby cannot regulate its body temperature as well as an adult. A

baby needs more time to adjust to temperature changes.

If you do not set a temperature range, the baby monitor alerts you when the temperature in your

baby’s room drops below 57°F (14°C) or rises above 86°F (30°C). In this case, the backlight of the

parent unit display goes on and ‘High’ or ‘Low’ appears on the display. To change the default

If the temperature alert is switched on, the parent unit beeps if the actual room temperature

exceeds the set maximum temperature or drops below the set minimum temperature. In addition,

the backlight of the parent unit display goes on and ‘High’ or ‘Low’ appears on the display. If no

minimum and maximum temperatures have been set, the temperature alert is given when the room

temperature drops below 57°F (14°C) or rises above 86°F (30°C).
