Intended use

The baby monitor serves to monitor a baby/child in a room. The camera transmits audio and video signals from its current location to the monitor. The monitor may only be installed indoors. Any other use is considered unintended use.

The use of this equipment does not substitute personal supervision, e.g. of a baby/child. Users are not relieved of their personal liability.
The devices are not intended for medical purposes. Warning and signal tones from respiratory or heartbeat monitoring equipment are not transmitted.
Unauthorized modification or reconstruction is not permitted. Under no circumstances open the devices or complete any repair work yourself. All rights to claims for damages beyond the scope of legal provisions are excluded.
The equipment only serves to support supervision of babies/children. Do not use the equipment for the illegal observation of other persons.

Medical equipment

Attention: Never use the devices in the vicinity of medical equipment. Effects on such equipment cannot be fully ruled out.

Rechargeable batteries

Attention: Only use a rechargeable battery of the correct type. Risk of explosion!

Attention: Pay attention to the correct polarity! Never throw the battery into a fire.

Power supply

Attention: Only use the charging cable supplied and do not obstruct access to the charging cable by furniture or other objects!

Attention: When using the equipment with the charging cable, pay attention that the plug and cable are in perfect condition. Kinked or worn cable represents the risk of a fatal accident.

Power failure

Pay attention that the camera and monitor are always sufficiently charged, otherwise the equipment cannot function in the case of a power failure.
