INSTALLATION
BABY UNIT:
Power:
1. Connect one of the
supplied 6V power
adaptors to the 6V
DC input of the baby
unit.
2. Insert the adapter into
a 230V wall socket.
Only use the supplied power adaptor with model number
S003IV0600060.
Wall-mounting:
Drill two holes next to each other in the
wall separated by a distance of 5.4cm
and insert plugs and screws. The head
of the screw should stick out of the wall
for several millimeters.
Slide the foot of the baby unit over the
screws and then press the baby unit a
little downwards.
Tips for placement:
• For use as a baby monitor:
place the baby unit at least
1-2 meters away from your
baby and make sure to safely
tuck away the adapter cable.
• For optimal range, it is advis-
able to set up the baby unit
as high as possible, free from large metal surfaces.
• The temperature protrudes from the rear of the baby unit.
Make sure this sensor hangs freely, unexposed to direct
sunlight and avoid heat from e.g. light bulbs.
• The baby unit is not waterproof. When using outdoors,
make sure to protect the baby unit against moisture and
sand.
PARENT UNIT:
Power supply:
The parent unit can be powered directly by the included re-
chargeable battery or via the supplied power adapter. As soon
as you connect the power adapter, it will charge the battery
allowing for mobile use of the parent unit.
Battery:
1. Open the battery com-
partment by sliding and
clicking off the battery
cover at the rear.
2. Connect the battery
plug in the battery
compartment according
to the figure below and
install the battery.
Only install
the supplied
rechargeable NiMH bat-
tery (3.6V, 900mAh).
Never connect the plug
or install the battery by
force.
3. Click the battery cover
back onto the parent
unit.
Power adapter:
1. Connect
the other
6V power
adapter to
the DC6V
input on the

(behind the
rubber cover
top)
2. Insert the adapter into a 230V wall socket.
Only use the supplied power adaptor with model number
S003IV0600060.
You can recharge the battery with the parent unit either
switched on or off, although charging the battery with the
parent unit switched off will take less time.
Charging:
The battery will be charged as soon as you connect the power
adapter and insert it into a 230V wall socket.
• For initial use, charge the battery for at least 15 hours,
even if the indicator shows a fully charged battery.
• The charging circuit for the battery is managed electroni-
cally and there is no risk of overcharging, this allows you
to leave the adapter connected at all times.
• In case you will not use the set for a longer period of time
(>2 months), please make sure to disconnect the adapter
from the wall socket and remove the battery from the par-
ent unit. When starting to use the set again, make sure to
properly charge the battery.
• Make sure nobody can trip or fall over the adapter cable.
You can bundle cables that are too long with tape or
cables ties available specifically for this purpose.
