Note

•  This baby monitor is intended as an aid. It is not a substitute for proper adult supervision, and 

should not be used as such.

Test your baby monitor

You may test the baby monitor before initial use, and at regular times thereafter. 

 

Caution

•  For hearing protection, make sure the parent 

unit is more than 3 feet (1 meter) away from the 

baby unit. If you hear any high-pitched noise, 

move the parent unit further until the noise 

stops. You can also press   on the parent unit to 

lower or mute the noise.

1. Make sure your baby unit and parent unit 

are on.

2. Speak towards the microphone of the baby 

unit. You will hear the sound at the parent unit, 

and see the visual sound indicators light up. 

 

Note

•  When the 

POWER/LINK 

LED light flashes, move the parent unit closer to the baby unit (observe 

the minimum distance of 3 feet / 1 meter). You can also check if the baby unit is connected to a 

live power socket and switched on.

 

Tip

•  Increase the speaker volume of the parent unit if you cannot hear the sounds transmitted from the 

baby unit.

Positioning the baby monitor

 

Caution

•  Keep the baby unit out of the reach of your baby. Never place or mount the baby unit inside the 

baby’s crib or playpen.

1. Place the baby units more than 3 feet (1 meter) away from 

your baby.

2. Place the parent unit more than 3 feet (1 meter) away from the 

baby unit to avoid screeching noise.

 

Caution

• 

The default volume of your parent unit is level 3, and the maximum 
volume is level 5. If you experience high-pitched screeching noise from 
your baby monitor while positioning:

 

- Make sure your baby units and parent unit are more than  

3 feet (1 meter) apart, OR

 

- Turn down the volume of your parent unit.

Operating range

The operating range of the baby monitor is up to 
1000 feet (300 meters) outdoors or 160 feet (50 
meters) indoors. The actual operating range may vary 
depending on the environmental conditions and 
other interferences such as walls, doors and other 
obstructions.

Important safety instructions

Install the parent unit battery

The parent unit runs on rechargeable battery or AC power. To continuously monitor your 
baby, make sure you use both battery and AC power at the same time. With the battery 
alone, the parent unit can cordlessly run for a short time only.

NOTES

NOTE

•  Use only the battery supplied with this product.
•  If the parent unit will not be used for a long time, disconnect and remove the battery to prevent 

possible leakage.

Replace the battery

To replace the battery, press down on the battery compartment cover and pull it out, then 
follow the steps above to install the battery.

Connect the baby monitor

NOTES

NOTE

•  Use only the power adapters supplied with this product.
•  Make sure the baby monitor is not connected to a switch controlled electric outlet.
•  Connect the power adapters in a vertical or floor mount position only. The adapters’ prongs are not 

designed to hold the weight of baby monitor, so do not connect them to any ceiling, under-the-table, 
or cabinet outlets. Otherwise, the adapters may not properly connect to the outlets.

•  Make sure the parent unit, the baby unit and the power adapter cords are out of reach of children. 

Charge the parent unit battery

When you have connected and turned on the baby unit and all the parent units, they will 
enter pairing mode automatically. It takes around 10 minutes for the pairing process to 
complete. When the parent unit and baby unit are successfully paired, both their power 
LEDs are on steadily. The baby monitor is ready to use.

NOTES

NOTE

Notes

•  Before using the baby monitor for the first time, charge the parent unit battery for 12 hours.
•  It takes longer to charge the battery when the parent unit is turned on. To shorten the charging time, 

turn the parent unit off while charging.

•  The standby time varies depending on the sensitivity level you set, your actual use and the age of the 

battery.

•  The parent unit beeps twice every 10 minutes and the 

 light flashes in red when the battery is low. 

Charge the parent unit battery without interruption for at least 30 minutes.

• 

To keep the battery charged, connect it to AC power when not in use.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers

Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless devices):

Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent 

research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the 

interference between portable wireless devices and implanted 

cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug 

Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:

Pacemaker patients

•  Should keep wireless devices at least six inches from the 

pacemaker.

•  Should NOT place wireless devices directly over the 

pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.

WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with 

pacemakers from other persons using wireless devices.
