6 Features
6.1 Smart Eco mode
This baby monitor has Smart Eco modes as a
standard feature. This mode is always active and
automatically reduces the DECT signal from the
baby unit to the parent unit to save energy and
reduce radio transmission.
6.2 Baby unit
6.2.1 Nightlight
The nightlight produces a soft glow that comforts
your baby.
1
Press the nightlight button on top of the baby
unit to switch the nightlight on or off.
• When the parent unit and baby unit are
linked, the ‘link’ light turns solid green.
• If no connection is established, the ‘link’ light
continues to flash red and the parent unit
beeps.
What to do if no link is established
•
If the parent unit is out of range, place
it closer to the baby unit.
•
If the baby unit or parent unit is too
close to another DECT appliance
(e.g. a cordless phone), switch off this
appliance or move the unit away from
this appliance.
•
If the baby unit is switched off,
switch it on.
5.2.1 Operating range
•
The operating range is up to
300 metres/985 feet outdoors and
up to 50 metres/150 feet indoors.
•
The operating range of the baby monitor
varies depending on the surroundings and
factors that cause signal attenuation. Wet
and moist materials cause so much signal
attenuation that the range loss is up to 100%.
For signal attenuation from dry materials, see
table below.
