The “Out of Range” indicator function will alert you when the units are not communicating with each other. Out of range situations can be caused by distance or by physical interferences. The Out of Range Indicator function is automatically activated in Normal mode. It is automatically disabled in ECO mode. (See ECO mode Chapter on page 61) To avoid electrosmog resulting from the regular transmission of signals between the transmitter and receiver which is necessary to control the distance between them, it is recommended to use the monitor in ECO mode if possible.

5.3 - TEMPERATURE CONTROL

NOTE: When the ECO mode is set ON, a small ECO icon appears beside the antenna icon and:1. the signal strength bar is OFF

2. the Temperature display is OFF but the temperature alarm will remain working if selected

In Standby mode, when the ECO mode is ON, the radio frequency transmission of the Nursery and the Parent Units are completely OFF. In other words, there is no electromagnetic emission in standby mode. The radio transmission will turn back ON if one of the following event happens:1. The settings are adjusted via the parent unit screen 2. The VOX activates 3. The night light or the Pager are activated via the nursery unit

4. The temperature alarm goes ON. In this case, the

temperature will show again on the screen until the alarm stops. Please note that in ECO standby mode, the out of range warning tone alarm is disabled, but if the Radio Frequency transmission turns ON, because of one of the four events above, the out of range alarm will be triggered, if the parent and nursery units are not linked at that time. The monitor will automatically return to standby mode with zero electromagnetic emission in approximately 45 seconds after the end of the events above. Similarly, 45 seconds is needed after activating the ECO mode manually on the parent unit screen for the standby mode to be ON.

NOTE: By doing the re-connection procedure you will reset the monitoring system back to original presets.

LOSS OF CONNECTIVITY

In the case of loss of connectivity, the first step is to bring the Parent Unit and Nursery Unit closer together and make sure that both units are ON to restore the connection. If there is still no connection and no out of range warning after the above has been done, then and only then should the re-connection procedure below be done.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

• Ensure that you fully charge your batteries for 15 hours before their first use.

• To maintain maximum battery life it is recommended that you fully discharge your batteries periodically. Battery performance can be diminished by leaving the batteries constantly charging on the charging cradle. If your parent unit is not in use, please turn it off.

• Inadequate battery power can impair the performance of your monitor. If you are not happy with the performance of your Parent Unit/Monitor please replace the rechargeable batteries (2 x NiMH Rechargeable Batteries).

• Ensure that both units are switched ON.

• If there is no power to any unit check/replace the batteries, recharge the Parent Unit & check the AC Adaptors are working. Change electrical outlets if required.

• Check on the Parent Unit screen to see if the monitor is in MUTE mode instead of ON mode. Refer to step 5.5. and increase volume level.

• Bring the Parent Unit and Nursery Unit closer together. NURSERY UNIT POWER ON INDICATOR (GREEN LIGHT) DOES NOT LIGHT UP

• Check the connections or change to another electrical outlet.

• Push and hold the left ‘wing’ for 2 seconds to turn the Nursery Unit ON. WEAK RECEPTION
