- It is very important that you read the User Guide carefully as it contains detailed information you will need to get the most from your Oricom baby monitor. If you have any issues setting up or using your Oricom baby monitor please call our Customer Support team. Our dedicated local team are more likely to be able to help you than the retailer where you made your purchase.
- Your Oricom baby monitor is designed to be an aid and should not be used as a substitute for responsible and proper adult supervision of a child.
- The baby monitor has been designed to provide some added reassurance in the form of sound transmission for those times when you are not in the same room as your baby provided you always stay within hearing range of the baby monitor during use. Your baby monitor is not a medical device, nor a device to prevent cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) or "cot death", and you should not rely on it for your baby's wellbeing. It is important that you regularly check on your baby personally.
-
Make sure the baby unit, parent unit and mains adaptor cables are kept out of reach of your baby and other young children at all times, at least one metre away.
-
Never place the baby unit or parent unit inside your baby's cot, bed or playpen.
- Never cover the parent or baby units with clothes, towels or blankets or any other item. Never use or place your parent or baby unit in or near moisture or water (e.g. near bath or pool). Immersing in water could cause electric shock and even death.
- The installation location plays an important role in ensuring proper operation. Therefore, maintain a distance of at least one metre from other electronic equipment, such as microwave ovens or hi-fi devices, otherwise they could cause interference. During continual use the baby unit power adaptors may become warm to the touch. This is normal and should not be a concern.
Warning
Risk of suffocation!
Keep all packaging materials and protective foils out of reach of children.
Warning
Do not place the AC Adaptor cable in a high "wear and tear" location. Never use a frayed or compromised cord.
Battery safety
- Batteries represent a hazard to health and the environment!
- They contain toxic, ecologically hazardous heavy metals. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations, never in your household rubbish.
- Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, puncture, or shred cells or batteries. If a battery leaks, do not let the battery liquid touch skin or eyes. If this happens, immediately flush the affected areas with water, and seek medical assistance.
- Do not modify, remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, or immerse or expose it to water or other liquids. Batteries may explode if damaged.
- Use only the battery supplied with the product. Improper use, or use of unapproved batteries may present a risk of fire, explosion, or other hazard, and may invalidate any approval or warranty.
- If you believe the battery is damaged, remove product from the charger and stop using the product. Contact Oricom for assistance. Never use a damaged battery.
Disposal
Always dispose of your products at the end of their life in accordance with your local waste disposal requirements.
Packaging materials all cardboard and paper packaging should be recycled in accordance with your local council waste regulations.

6 GETTING STARTED
IMPORTANT
The parent unit is powered by a rechargeable Lithium Battery Pack. The amber Power LED lights up on the parent unit when it is in the charger to indicate power is being supplied to the unit. In the case of a low battery the amber Power LED will flash. The parent unit should be returned to the cradle to recharge. The amber light will always be lit when the parent unit is in the charging cradle.
Switching the Baby Unit ON/OFF
Position the baby unit in a good position for the monitoring task required and align the camera lens to the area to be monitored.
Slide the switch to ON, the Power LED lights up. The baby unit is now ready to operate.
To switch the unit off, slide the switch to OFF.
In-use time and battery charging
Depending on the usage the parent unit will work for up to 8 hours on a fully charged battery with the VOX feature turned ON.
When the battery charge becomes low on the parent unit the amber power LED will flash slowly. At this point you need to connect the parent unit to the charger.
When charging, the battery status indicator on the parent unit screen will change to the charging icon 📄.
To speed up the charging process, turn the parent unit off when charging if it is not being used.
You can continue to use your parent unit to monitor your baby even when the battery is low, provided it remains on the charger to recharge the battery.
NOTE:
• The parent unit can be kept on the charger even if it is fully charged. This will not affect the battery life.
- The parent unit can be used on or off the charger.
- When the parent unit is being used while on the charger.
• We recommend that you TURN OFF the parent unit when it is not in-use, to conserve battery power.
Battery Life
The rechargeable battery pack (supplied) can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, however they will eventually wear out and lose their ability to hold a full charge. When the in use time becomes noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to purchase a new battery pack.
