TIPS AND WARNINGS
6.1 GENERAL:
• Read the user manual carefully and follow all the instructions.
• Do no place or use either the baby unit or the parent unit in a wet or damp area or environment.
• Ensure good ventilation for the heat; never cover the parent unit, the baby unit (s) and /or the
power adapter(s) and never place it directly next to a heat source.
• Only use the included power adapter(s), using another type of adapter may damage the electro-
nics.
• Make sure the power cables are not damaged, and ensure the wires will not lead to stumbling or
falling over.
• Never take apart the parent unit, the baby unit(s) and/or the power adapter(s); this should only be
done by qualified personnel.
6.2 INSTALLATION:
• Only connect or disconnect the power adapter of the baby unit or the parent unit when the power
adapter is not connected to an electrical outlet.
• Do not install the DVM-50 during a thunderstorm.
• Do not touch an un-insulated adapter cord unless the adapter is disconnected from the electrical
outlet.
6.3
RECEIVE INDICATOR/OUT OF RANGE REPORT:
• The signal strength coming from the baby unit is shown on the top left side of the display on the
parent unit:
: very good reception
: good reception
: poor reception
• In every situation, the picture and sound will remain the same quality on the display.
• When the parent unit does not receive any signal from the baby unit (the baby unit is out of range
or turned off), the ‘Out of Range’ connection indicator ‘ ’ will show on the display. An alarm tone
will also sound every 5 seconds. .
• When the out of range problem is solved, the connection indicator will light up continuously again
and stop beeping.
6.4
DELAY IN THE PICTURE AND SOUND:
• The baby unit sends an image and sound signal to the parent unit using digital blocks. The parent
unit then turns the signal into a recognizable image and an audible sound. A slight delay is possible
given the time it takes for the parent unit to correspond the signals into an image and sounds and
play it back. The sound and the image on the parent unit will therefore not be exactly in sync with
the baby unit.
6.5
