for the Parent Unit. You must use only
rechargeable batteries in the Parent Unit.
DO NOT use alkaline batteries or you will
severely damage the unit.
16.3
Charge the batteries for 10 hours prior
to first use. Be sure to have the monitor in
the OFF position during this period. ONLY
use the AC Adapters included with your
monitor.
16.4
DO NOT use these adapters with any
other equipments.

16.7
DO NOT dispose batteries in fire. They
may explode. Check with local regulations
for possible special disposal instructions.
16.8
Exercise care in handling batteries
in order not to short out the batteries
with conducting materials such as rings,
bracelets and keys. Overcharging, short
circuiting, reverse charging, mutilation, or
incineration of batteries must be avoided
to prevent one or more of the following
occurrences: release of toxic materials,
release of hydrogen and/or oxygen gas
and rise in surface temperature.
16.9
DO NOT attempt to recharge batteries
provided with or identified for use with
this product that are not intended to be
charged. The batteries may leak corrosive
electrolyte or explode.
16.10
DO NOT attempt to rejuvenate the
batteries provided with or identified for
use with this product by heating them.
Sudden release of battery electrolyte may
occur, causing burns or irritation to eyes
or skin.
16.11
If and when necessary, the batteries
must be replaced with identical new ones
or equivalent (volts and size). If a battery
to be replaced is connected with other
batteries in series, replace the other
batteries at the same time as well. DO
NOT mix old and new batteries.
16.12
Reverse polarity installation of the
batteries in the end product must be
avoided. Reverse insertion of batteries
can cause charging, and that may result
in leakage or explosion.
16.13
Remove batteries from this product
if you store the product over 30 days
because the batteries could leak and
damage the product.
16.14
Discard ‘dead’ batteries as soon as
possible since ‘dead’ batteries are more

leaked or vented, it should be replaced
immediately using protective gloves.

batteries provided with or identified for
use with this product, in high-temperature
