You can power up the parent unit by connecting
it to AC power or to the rechargeable battery
provided. Even if the parent unit is connected
to AC power, we recommend you also
install the battery. This guarantees continual
operation in case of a power outage.
Install the battery as shown below.
Slide and lift to open the battery compartment
cover.
Plug the battery connector securely into
the socket.

Install the battery
Replace the battery
To replace the battery, pull the battery out of
the battery compartment and unplug the battery
connector from the socket, then follow the steps
above to install the battery.
The operating time for using the
rechargeable battery is short. If you want
to monitor your baby for a long time, we
recommend you connect the parent unit
to AC power.
If the parent unit will not be used for a long
time, disconnect and remove the battery to
prevent possible leakage.
Use only the battery supplied with this
product.
Use only the parent unit power adapter or
the baby unit power adapter supplied with
this product.
The parent unit power adapter and
baby unit power adapter are intended
to be correctly oriented in a vertical or
floor mount position. The prongs are not
designed to hold the plug in place if it is
plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or
cabinet outlet.
Make sure the parent unit, the baby unit
and the power adapter cord are out of
reach of children.

Charge the parent unit battery
Once you have installed the parent unit and
its battery, press and hold to turn it on. The
battery icon indicates the battery status (see
the table below). The parent unit battery is fully
charged after 12 hours of continuous charging.
The standby time varies depending on the
sensitivity level you set, your actual use and
the age of the battery.
When the parent unit is operating in battery
mode and the battery is low, you need to
charge the parent unit without interruption for at
least 30 minutes to give the parent unit enough
charge to use for a short time. When operating
in low battery condition, the parent unit displays
. The light on the parent unit flashes and
the parent unit plays short beeps to alert you.
The following table summarizes the battery
charge indicators and actions to take.

is turned on. To shorten the charging time,
turn the parent unit off while charging.
You may test the baby monitor before initial

Positioning the baby monitor
Place the parent unit within the operating range
of the baby unit. We recommend the parent
unit is at least 3 feet away from the baby unit
to avoid audio feedback. If you still experience
audio feedback, move the parent unit and the
baby unit farther apart.
For better image quality, do not place the
baby unit too far away from your baby.
For desktop usage and/or wall mounting the
baby unit, you can refer to Installation guide.
Operating range
The operating range of the baby monitor is up
to 1,000 feet outdoors or 150 feet indoors. The
actual operating range may vary depending
on the environmental conditions and other
interferences such as walls, doors and other
obstructions.
