Use AC adapter on Nursery Unit whenever possible to
extend the battery life.
For Parents Unit, use AC adapter ONLY to
charge NiMh batteries. Only charge batteries when low battery
indicator is on. Do not overcharge. Only use rechargeable batteries
for the AC301-R model.
Warning:
Damages caused by misuse of the monitor are the customer
responsibility.
Replacing the rechargeable batteries (Model AC301-R only)
When the NiMh batteries in the Parents Unit will not charge or
only hold their charge for a short period of time, batteries need to
be replaced. Unscrew the battery compartment door on the Parents
Unit (if necessary). Remove old batteries. Insert new rechargeable
batteries. Screw in the battery compartment door. Plug the Parents Unit
into an electrical outlet.
Use only rechargeable batteries in the
Parents Unit. Allow new batteries to charge continuously for
15 hours.
