Note: Using other rechargeable batteries or non-rechargeable batteries/primary cells can be dangerous and cause malfunctions or damage to the telephone. Do not short-circuit the batteries (danger). In particular, avoid inadvertent short-circuits during storage and transport e.g. bunch of keys, metal panels or similar objects, and make sure the batteries do not come into contact with greasy materials. For this reason, store the batteries only in an insulating package when they are not in the unit. Avoid also touching the contacts with greasy objects. Rechargeable batteries can become warm while recharging. This is a normal occurrence and is not dangerous. Charging the batteries initially / connecting the adapter - Before using the device for the first time, the batteries need to be charged. - To charge the batteries, plug the adapter into the AC/DC sockets on the parental and baby units. - Plug the adapter into an electrical socket. The batteries will then start to charge up and will take around 8 hours to fully charge (initially). Note: - The adapters supplied were developed specifically for this device. Do not use them for any other device. Never use another adapter for your Babycom 268. - Non-rechargeable batteries must not be charged up. - We recommend that you switch off the units before plugging in or unplugging the adapters. - If the units are not to be used for some time, unplug the adapters.

When you hear a click, the unit is switched on. Test transmission from baby unit - Use the sensitivity switch to set the preferred sensitivity level on the baby unit. - As soon as the baby unit sends a signal, the following display is shown: - If the baby unit is on standby, the following display is shown: Test reception on parental unit - Use the volume adjuster to set the preferred volume on the parental unit. The parental unit is ready to receive. - As soon as the parental unit receives a signal, the following display is shown: - If the parental unit is on standby, the following display is shown: Constantly changing Constantly changing Babycom 268 EN_080909:Babycom 143 10.09.09 11:32 Seite 52Babycom 268

Note: - If you hear any disturbance on the units due to interference (hissing, buzzing), change the CTCSS code on the parental and baby units. See "Setting the CTCSS code". - Test reception on the parental unit before use and whenever you reposition the baby unit. - Position the baby unit at least one meter away from the baby. - The maximum range between the parental and baby units is 300 meters. Settings Setting the volume Use the volume adjuster to set the preferred volume (up = increase volume / down = reduce volume). Setting the CTCSS code 65,000 CTCSS codes are available for a protected private sphere: The receiver (parental unit) is activated only when it receives a signal from its own transmitter (baby unit). It is therefore essential for the same CTSS code to be set on the parental and baby unit so that they can communicate. Changing the CTCSS code: - Make sure the units are switched on - Press the LINK key on the base of the unit (using a pointed object such as a pencil). The units automatically start to search for a new shared code. The following display is shown: Babycom 268 EN_080909:Babycom 143 10.09.09 11:32 Seite 53Babycom 268

Note: - There is no need to set CTCSS code before using the Babycom 268 for the first time: As soon as you switch the parental and baby units on, they automatically search for a shared code. - If you are using the adapters for power, connect them first, and then switch the units on before changing the CTCSS code. Setting the sensitivity (baby unit only) Set the preferred sensitivity level by sliding the black switch on the battery compartment of the baby unit: - Up: (HI) = high sensitivity (responds to noises within a range of 2-6 meters) - Down: (LO) = medium sensitivity (responds to noises within a range of 1-2 meters).
