Why do the non-rechargeable batteries of the
baby unit run low quickly?
•
The microphone sensitivity level of the baby
unit may be set too high, which causes the
baby unit to transmit more often. Decrease the
microphone sensitivity level in the menu of the
parent unit.
• The volume on the baby unit may be set too
high, which causes the baby unit to consume a
lot of energy. Decrease the volume of the baby
unit.
• You may have set a maximum room
temperature that is lower than the actual room
temperature or a minimum room temperature
that is higher than the actual room temperature.
In this case the display is lit all the time, which
increases the power consumption of the baby
unit. This causes the non-rechargeable batteries
of the baby unit to run low quickly.
• Perhaps you have switched on the nightlight. If
you want to use the nightlight, we advise you to
run the baby unit on mains power.
Why does the charging time of the parent unit
exceed 4 hours?
• The parent unit may be switched on during
charging. Switch off the parent unit during
charging.
The specified operating range of the baby
monitor is 330 metres/1000 feet. Why does my
baby monitor manage a much smaller distance
than that?
• The specified range is only valid outdoors in
open air. Inside your house, the operating range
is limited by the number and type of walls and/
or ceilings in between. Inside the house, the
operating range is up to 50 metres/150 feet.
•
The ECO mode is switched on. When you
operate the baby unit in ECO mode, the
operating range is 260 meters/800 feet in open
air. Inside your house, the operating range is
limited by the number and type of walls and/or
ceilings in between. Move the parent unit closer
to the baby unit or switch off the ECO mode.
Why does the appliance produce a high-pitched
noise?
• The units may be too close to each other. Make
sure the parent unit and the baby unit are at
least 1 metre/3 feet away from each other.
• The volume of the parent unit may be set too
high. Decrease the volume of the parent unit.
Why don’t I hear a sound/Why can’t I hear
my baby cry?
• The volume of the parent unit may be set
too low or may be switched off. Increase the
volume of the parent unit.
• The microphone sensitivity level of the baby
unit may be set too low. Set the microphone
sensitivity level to a higher level in the menu of
the parent unit.
•
The baby unit and the parent unit may be out
of range of each other. Reduce the distance
between the units.
Why does the parent unit react too quickly to
other sounds?
•
The baby unit also picks up other sounds than
those of your baby. Move the baby unit closer
to the baby (but observe the minimum distance
of 1 metre/3 feet).
•
The microphone sensitivity level of the baby
unit may be set too high. Decrease the
microphone sensitivity level in the menu of the
parent unit.
Why does the parent unit react slowly to the
baby’s crying?
• The microphone sensitivity level of the
baby unit may be set too low. Increase the
microphone sensitivity level of in the menu of
the parent unit.
