GETTING STArTED
The parent unit is powered by a rechargeable Lithium
Battery Pack. The amber Power LED lights up on the parent
unit when it is in the charger to indicate power is being
supplied to the unit. In the case of a low battery the amber
Power LED will flash. The parent unit should be returned
to the cradle to recharge. The amber light will always be lit
when the parent unit is in the charging cradle.
!
IMPORTANT
Switching the Baby Unit ON/OFF
Position the baby unit in a good position for the monitoring
task required and align the camera lens to the area to be
monitored.
Slide the switch to ON, the Power LED lights up. The baby
unit is now ready to operate.
To switch the unit off, slide the switch to OFF.
In-use time and battery charging
Depending on the usage the parent unit will work for up to 8
hours on a fully charged battery with the VOX feature turned
ON.
When the battery charge becomes low on the parent unit the
amber power LED will flash slowly. At this point you need to
connect the parent unit to the charger.
When charging, the battery status indicator on the parent unit
screen will change to the charging icon
.
To speed up the charging process, turn the parent unit off
when charging if it is not being used.
You can continue to use your parent unit to monitor your
baby even when the battery is low, provided it remains on the
charger to recharge the battery.
NOTE:
•
Th
e parent unit can be kept on the charger even if it is fully
charged. This will not affect the battery life.
• The parent unit can be used on or off the charger.
• When the parent unit is being used while on the charger.
• We recommend that you TURN OFF the parent unit when it is
n
ot in-use, to conserve battery power.
Battery Life
The rechargeable battery pack (supplied) can be charged and
discharged hundreds of times, however they will eventually
wear out and lose their ability to hold a full charge. When the
in use time becomes noticeably shorter than normal, it is time
to purchase a new battery pack.
