What to do if no link is established
•
The parent unit may be out of range
of the baby unit. Place the parent unit
closer to the baby unit, but not closer
than 1 metre/3.5 feet.
•
The baby unit or the parent unit may
lose connection because it is too
close to another DECT appliance
(e.g. a cordless phone). Switch off this
DECT appliance or place the unit
further away from this appliance.
•
The baby unit may be switched off.
Switch on the baby unit.
4.2.1 Operating range
•
In both standard operating mode with Smart
Eco and in Eco Max mode, the operating
range is 330 metres/1000 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 interference. Wet and moist
materials cause so much interference that
the range loss is up to 100%. For interference
from dry materials, see table below

Note:
When you switch on the parent unit for
the first time or after a reset, you have to
select your preferred display language (see
‘Language’ in chapter ‘Menu of the parent
unit’).
• The ‘link’ light on the parent unit starts
flashing red and the message ‘I AM
LINKING’ appears on the display.
• When the parent unit and baby unit are
linked, the ‘link’ light turns solid green. The
signal strength indicator and the message
‘LINKED’ appear on the display.
• If no connection is established within
10 seconds, the message ‘NOT LINKED’ on
the display alternates with ‘I AM LINKING’.
If still no connection is established after
30 seconds, the parent unit starts to beep
and only the message ‘NOT LINKED’ is
shown.
