USER MANUAL SBCSC366 PHILIPS

CONTENTS INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You have just purchased a truly cordless Baby phone (SBC SC366) that enables you to monitor your child from wherever you are in and around your house.

The Baby phone has been tested to meet all necessary regulations and standards, and features a rechargeable battery back-up that guarantees operation at all times.

Note: While the Baby phone is intended as an aid, it is not a replacement for real parent supervision and should not be used as such.

1.Connect one of the enclosed mains adapters to the ‘baby unit’ and the other to the ‘parent unit’ recharging base ((fig. 2).

2.Set the ‘baby unit’ to VOICE mode (fig. 1.7) and place it near the baby’s bed. 3.Place the ‘parent unit’ in the recharging base (fig. 2). 4.Switch the ‘parent unit’ to ON to an acceptable sound level (fig. 1.4). – Every time sound is detected from or near the baby, it is transmitted to the parent’s unit. 5.Adjust the sound level on the ‘parent unit’ as required.

3. POWER SUPPLY Mains power supply

Battery power supply (batteries not enclosed)

• Check that the mains voltage as indicated on the mains adapter corresponds to your local mains voltage. If it does not, consult your dealer or our service organisation.

• Connect a mains adapter to the ‘baby unit’ as indicated in fig. 2. • Place the ‘parent unit’ inside the recharging base and connect a mains adapter as indicated in fig. 2. – If the mains power adapter is connected correctly, the red CHARGE LED on the recharging base lights up.

‘Baby unit’ (batteries not enclosed)

• Install batteries inside ‘baby unit’ as indicated in fig. 3 for cordless ‘baby unit’ operation.

‘Parent unit’ (batteries enclosed)

– Rechargeable batteries are already installed inside the ‘parent unit’. • For maximum battery life make sure that the batteries inside the ‘parent unit’ are totally discharged and recharged on a regular basis.

– Both the ‘baby unit’ and ‘parent unit’ have a ‘battery low’ indication. If the batteries are low the unit beeps and the red POWER LED starts flashing. – To conserve batteries, connect the units to the mains by using the enclosed mains adapters. – If batteries are installed and the mains power adapters are connected, the units operate on mains power. In the event of a mains failure, the batteries will take over.

– Replace batteriesinside the ‘baby unit’ with original PHILIPS LR6 POWERLIFE batteries only. – Batteries inside the ‘parent unit’ are already installed. Replace these batteries with rechargeable NICAD (R6) batteries ONLY. DO NOT INSTALL ANY OTHER TYPE OF BATTERIES INSIDE THE ‘PARENT UNIT’!

4. OPERATION OPERATION (fig. 4)

‘Baby unit’ • Make sure the mains power adapter is connected correctly, or batteries are installed. • Place the ‘baby unit’ near the baby’s bed, making sure that the microphone is placed in the best position for picking up baby’s sounds.

Make sure that the ‘baby unit’ is always out of reach of the baby; never place the ‘baby unit’ inside baby’s bed or playpen! • Select the VOICE mode using the mode switch (fig. 1.7). – If sound is picked up by the built-in microphone, the ‘baby unit’ starts transmitting automatically. The transmission stops when no sound is picked up any more. During transmission the green TRANSMIT LED lights up. – The ‘baby unit’ also has a button for manual transmission (TALK fig. 1.8). This function operates both during VOICE and OFF-mode. For manual transmission: • Keep the TALK button pressed and speak into the microphone. – The green TRANSMIT LED light up. – Spoken sound is transmitted until the TALK button is released.

• Make sure that the mains power adapter is correctly connected to the recharging base, or that batteries are installed. – If batteries are installed, the ‘parent unit’ uses rechargeable battery power only in the event of a mains failure, or when the unit is not placed inside the standing base. • Place the ‘parent unit’ inside the recharging base, near to the parent’s location. – If the mains power adapter is connected correctly, the red CHARGE LED on the recharging base lights up. • Switch the ‘parent unit’ to ON to an acceptable sound level (fig. 1.4). – If a sound signal is received from the ‘baby unit’, it is heard via the built-in speaker. • Adjust the sound level as required. The ‘parent unit’ checks the received sound signal. If the quality is too poor, the signal is blocked. In this case: • Move the ‘parent unit’ closer to the ‘baby unit’ to restore sound reception again. – The maximum operating distance is 150 m in ideal conditions.

– For baby monitoring make sure the ‘baby unit’ is in VOICE mode! – Do not place ‘baby unit’ and ‘parent unit’ too close to each other while operating. Otherwise the units will start resonating (high-pitch sound).

Before using the Baby phone, check the sound transmission. This checks whether a unit is broken, or whether units are placed out of range of each other. After this first check, sound transmission should be checked on a regular basis as follows: Have an adult softly speak into the ‘baby unit’. Sounds transmitted from the baby room should be heard clearly via the ‘parent unit’ in another room. CHANNEL SELECTION – The Baby phone can use 2 different channels for radio signal transmission. If sound reception is very poor, or other radio signals are being picked up, please try the other transmission channel as follows: • Move the channel selector on both units to the other channel (fig. 1.2 and fig. 1.6).

Note: Always make sure the channel switches on both units are set to the same position.

This ensures optimum reception. VISUAL SOUND INDICATION The ‘parent unit’ has a sound level indicator, which visually alerts parents to their baby’s crying, but no sound is heard via the speaker. To operate the sound level indicator: • Make sure the ‘baby unit’ is operational in VOICE mode. • Switch the ‘parent unit’ to ON to the minimum sound level by adjusting the volume control (fig.1.4). – If a sound signal is received from the ‘baby unit’, the green sound LEVEL LEDs (fig. 1.5) light up. The louder the sound, the more LEDs light up. ROOM TEMPERTURE INDICATION The ‘baby unit’ has a built-in thermometer to check the temperature inside baby’s room. The temperature which is shown in green is the current room temperature.

The ‘parent unit’ has a recharging function. If the rechargeable batteries are empty they can be recharged easily via the recharging base. To recharge batteries:

• Make sure that the mains power adapter is correctly connected to the recharging base. – If the mains power adapter is connected correctly, the red CHARGE LED on the recharging base lights up. • Place the ‘parent unit’ inside the recharging base; batteries start to recharge. – Totally empty batteries will take up 12-14 hours to fully recharge. BELT-CLIP With completely charged batteries, the ‘parent unit’ can be used as a truly cordless product. The unit can be carried in and around the house, using the easy belt-clip. This clip can easily be attached to and removed from the ‘parent unit’ (fig. 5). TALK-BACK POSSIBILITY The ‘parent unit’ also has a talk-back possibility. Parents can talk to their children via the ‘parent unit’. This means the Baby phone has full intercom capabilities. To set up the talk-back facility: • Switch the receiver on the ‘baby unit’ to ON to an acceptable sound level using the volume control (fig. 1.9). • Keep the TALK button (fig. 1.3) pressed on the ‘parent unit’ and talk clearly into the microphone (fig. 1.1). – The signal is transmitted by the ‘parent unit’ and the received signal is heard on the ‘baby unit’ speaker. – Adjust the sound level as required.

– Talking back via the ‘parent-unit’ is only possible if the ‘parent-unit’ is not receiving a signal! – The ‘baby unit’ only receives a signal if it is not already transmitting sounds. – Switch the receiver on the ‘baby unit’ to OFF using the volume control (fig. 1.9) again after using talk-back possibility. This conserves power.
