Unit are connected, the Parent Unit emits a confirmation tone and will show the channel number which will be replaced by the temperature (normal screen) a few seconds later. Note: If step 4 is not followed within the duration, the Parent Unit will exit the connectivity mode and you will need to start this process again.

• Change to the following as some text regarding MUTE is duplicated:

• Ensure that both units are switched ON.

• Check that the sound has not been turned down on the Parent Unit. Increase the volume level on the Parent Unit, refer to step 4.1.
