Notes:
– The time needed to recharge the
battery and its operating time both
depend on how intensively the parent
unit is being used. The battery can
normally be recharged in about 5
hours, but it will take longer if the
device is switched on at the same time.
Similarly, the operating time of up to 18
hours will be reduced if you use the
talk-back function or choose a high
volume setting.
– Charging the battery for the very first
time takes about 10 hours.
– Subsequently recharging the depleted
battery takes about 5 hours.
– With a fully charged battery, you can
operate the parent unit for up to 18
hours.
4.5 Eco-Mode and
FULL-ECO-CONTROL
Description of function
This babyphone has an Eco-Mode function
that not only saves power but also
minimises the high-frequency radiation in
the nursery. In this mode, transmissions
between the parent unit and baby unit are
restricted.
The device automatically switches to
transmission mode as soon as your baby
makes a noise that exceeds your selected
sound threshold (VOX levels 1 - 4).
You can see when Eco-Mode has been
activated because the connection indicator
flashes green. You can see when Eco-
Mode has been deactivated because the
indicator shows a steady green light.
Activating Eco-Mode
At VOX levels 1, 2, 3 and 4, (see "6.8 Using
the VOX function to adjust the transmission
sensitivity" on page
40) Eco-Mode is
activated automatically as soon as the
device registers no sounds from your baby
for over 10 seconds. As soon as baby does
make a sound that exceeds your specified
noise threshold (VOX level 1-4), Eco-Mode
will automatically be deactivated and all the
sounds will be transmitted in the usual way.
Range check in Eco-Mode
The function FULL-ECO-CONTROL
guarantees that you are always connected
to your baby. Even when Eco-Mode is
activated, to ensure that the two devices
remain in contact, the baby unit checks
every 30 seconds that the parent unit is still
nearby (link check). If at any time you are out
of range, this is indicated on the parent unit
by changing the colour of the LED
to red
and beeping.
Note:
Check the range of your babyphone
before using Eco-Mode. Make sure that the
two units are always within range, so that
you can hear your baby.
Information displayed in Eco-Mode
Special features of Eco-Mode
Eco-Mode reduces the high-frequency
radiation from the baby unit to an absolute
minimum. This means that your baby is not
continually exposed to radiation that is
unnecessary during quiet sleep.
This also means that in Eco-Mode the
babyphone uses much less energy.
The nightlight, lullaby and talk-back
functions are temporarily deactivated in
Eco-Mode: while your baby is asleep these
functions would disturb him/her.
