between the baby unit and the parent unit. You can set an alert on the parent unit to notify you that

the connection has been lost.
to activate the alert on the parent unit:
1 Slide the lid of the compartment for the rechargeable pack downwards to remove it (Fig. 5).
2 Remove the rechargeable battery pack from the compartment (1) and remove the plug from
the socket (2) (Fig. 13).

the baby unit to the desired level: low, mid or high. When the microphone sensitivity is set to ‘high’,
the baby unit picks up all sounds.
Note: The sensitivity of the baby unit can only be changed when there is a connection between the baby
unit and the parent unit.

Note: When the microphone sensitivity of the baby unit is set to ‘high’, it picks up more sounds and
therefore transmits more often. As a result, the units consume more power.
