BELT CLIP & FOOTREST
The Belt Clip is convenient for portability. You can clip the Parent Unit
to your belt or waistband. The Belt Clip also easily converts to a footrest.
LOW BATTERY
With power on and unit operating on battery power, a green LED will be
lit on sound lights bar. When the LED turns to red, it indicates that the
battery is dying. You need to plug in the Parent Unit within 5 to 10 minutes
after red battery LED appears or battery power will fail. You will also have a
battery icon on your parent handheld that will notify you when battery life
is low by turning red.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM BATTERY LIFE
A Fully charged battery being used with both video and audio typically lasts
approximately 6 hours. During the last 5 minutes, the large flashing red battery
will start flashing. You need to plug in the Parent Unit within 5 to 10 minutes
after red battery starts to flash or battery power will fail.
Rechargeable batteries are prone to what is referred to as the "memory effect".
What this means is that if a battery is repeatedly only partially discharged
before recharging, the battery "forgets" that it has the capacity to further
discharge all the way down. To illustrate: If on a regular basis you fully charge
your battery and then use only 50% of its capacity before the next recharge,
eventually the batterywill become unaware of its extra 50% capacity which has
remained unused. The battery will remain functional, but only at 50% of its
original capacity.
The way to avoid the "memory effect" is to fully cycle (fully charge and then
fully discharge) the battery at least once every two to three months. Simply
leaving the device in the ON position and letting it run can discharge batteries
completely. This will help insure your battery remains healthy. Once discharged,
recharge the battery completely according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Baby Unit (Transmitter):
LOW BATTERY
With power on and unit operating on battery power, a green LED will be lit.
When the LED turns to red, it indicates that the battery is dying. You need to
plug in the Baby Unit within 5 to 10 minutes after red battery LED appears or
battery power will fail. You will also have a baby unit battery icon on your
parent handheld that will notify you when battery life is low by turning red.
PROPER POSITIONING
IMPORTANT:
When choosing locations to set up the Baby Unit and Parent Unit,
follow these guidelines:
• For best sound quality, place Baby Unit 3 feet (0.9 m) away from the baby.
• Adjust volume dial on Parent Unit to appropriate level to minimize feedback.
• During use of the monitor, sound quality deteriorates as you reach the limits of
the monitor's range. If this happens, you will need to move the Parent Unit in
closer proximity to the Baby Unit.
