The operating range is 330 metres/1000
feet outdoors and up to 50 metres/150 feet
indoors.

The operating range of the baby monitor
varies depending on the surroundings and
factors that cause interference. Wet and moist
materials cause so much interference that
the range loss is up to 100%. For interference
from dry materials, see table below

Press the nightlight on/off button on the baby
unit to switch on the nightlight.
• When the parent unit and baby unit are
linked, the ‘link’ light turns solid green. The
signal strength indicator and the message
‘LINKED’ appear on the display.
• If no connection is established within
10 seconds, the message ‘NOT LINKED’ on
the display alternates with ‘I AM LINKING’.
If still no connection is established after
30 seconds, the parent unit starts to beep
and only the message ‘NOT LINKED’ is
shown.
What to do if no link is established
•
The parent unit may be out of range of
the baby unit. Place the parent unit closer
to the baby unit, but not closer than
1 metre/3.5 feet.
•
The baby unit or the parent unit may
lose connection because it is too close to
another DECT appliance (e.g. a cordless
phone). Switch off this DECT appliance
or place the unit further away from this
appliance.
•
The baby unit may be switched off. Switch
on the baby unit.
