Parent unit icons (cont’d)
The baby unit has infrared LEDs that
allow you to see your baby clearly at
night or in a dark room. When the baby
unit being viewed detects low light
levels, the infrared LEDs are switched
on automatically. The images from the
baby unit are in black and white, and
appears on the screen.
Notes
• It is normal to see a short white glare on
your parent unit screen as the baby unit is
adapting to the dark environment.
• When the infrared LEDs are on, the
images are in black and white. This is
normal.
Tip
• Depending on the surroundings and
other interfering factors, like lighting,
objects, colors and backgrounds, the
display resolution may vary. Adjust the
baby unit’s angle or place the baby unit at
a higher elevation to prevent glare and a
blurry display.
Note
• The types of screws and anchors you need
depend on the composition of the wall.
Below are the questions most frequently asked about the baby monitor.
Why is the
baby monitor
not responding
normally?
Try the following (in the order listed) for common cure:
1. Disconnect the power to the baby units and the parent unit.
2. Wait a few seconds before connecting power back to the baby units and the parent unit.
3. Turn on the baby units and the parent unit.
4. Wait for the parent unit to synchronize with the baby units. Allow up to one minute
for this to take place.
Why doesn’t the
power-on light of the
baby unit and parent
unit go on when I switch
on the units?
Perhaps the parent unit is not connected to the power. Insert the appliance plug into
the parent unit and put the adapter in a wall socket. Then, press and hold POWER to
switch on the parent unit and to establish connection with the baby unit.
Perhaps the baby unit is not connected to the power. Insert the appliance plug into
the baby unit and put the adapter in a wall socket. The baby unit will switch on and
establish a connection with the parent unit.
Why doesn’t my parent
unit charge while
connected to AC power?
Make sure the power is not controlled by a wall switch.
You may have used the battery for a long time. See Warranty for repair/replacement.
Why is my screen in
black and white?
The screen is in black and white during night-time or in a dark room when the night
vision feature is activated. This is normal.
Why do I get glare or
a blurry display on my
screen when viewing at
night?
During night-time or in a dark room, the surroundings and other interfering factors,
like lighting, objects, colors and backgrounds may affect the image quality on your
parent unit screen. Adjust the baby unit’s angle or place the baby unit at a higher
elevation to prevent glare and a blurry display.
Why does the baby
monitor produce a
high-pitched noise?
The parent unit and baby units may be too close to each other.
• Move the parent unit away from the baby units until the noise stops; OR
• Turn down the volume of your parent unit.
Why does the parent
unit beep?
The baby units may be out of range. Move the parent unit closer to the baby units (but
not less than 3 feet).
The parent unit may not have enough power for the parent unit to perform normally.
Charge the battery in the parent unit until the battery icon becomes solid .
The temperature of your baby’s room may be too high or too low.
Why does the parent
unit react too quickly to
other sounds?
The baby unit also picks up other sounds than those of your baby. Adjust the VOX
sensitivity level to a lower level or decrease the parent unit speaker volume.
Why can’t I hear sounds/
my baby cry?
The parent unit speaker volume may be too low. See Adjust parent unit speaker
volume to increase the volume.
You may have set a low VOX sensitivity level. See Adjust the sound sensitivity of the
baby unit to set to a higher level.
Why can’t I establish a
connection? Why is the
connection lost every now
and then? Why are there
sound interruptions?
The baby units may be out of range. Move the parent unit closer to the baby units (but
not less than 3 feet).
Other electronic products and wireless products may cause interference with your
baby monitor. Try installing your baby monitor as far away from these devices as
possible.
If you power on only one baby unit, your parent unit may display , and the LINK
LED light will flash.

Mesures de sécurité importantes
La plaque signalétique appliquée est située au bas du socle
de l’unité du bébé.
Lorsque vous utilisez votre appareil, vous devriez toujours suivre
certaines mesures de précaution de base afin de réduire les
risques d’incendie, d’électrocution et de blessures corporelles,
dont ceux qui suivent :
1. Observez toutes les instructions et mises en garde inscrites
sur l’appareil.
2. L’installation par un adulte est requise.
3. MISE EN GARDE: N’installez pas l’unité du bébé à une
hauteur supérieure à 2 mètres.
4. Ce produit ne remplace pas la surveillance adulte du
nourrisson. La supervision du nourrisson est la responsabilité
du parent ou de la personne qui s’occupe de l’enfant. Ce
produit pourrait cesser de fonctionner et, par conséquent,
vous ne devriez pas présumer qu’il continuera de fonctionner
correctement pendant une période de temps donnée. De
plus, il ne s’agit pas d’un instrument médical et ne devrait pas
être utilisé comme tel. Ce produit est destiné à vous aider à
superviser votre bébé.
5. N’utilisez pas cet appareil près de l’eau ni de toute autre
source d’humidité, par exemple, près d’une baignoire,
cuve à lessive, évier de cuisine, dans un sous-sol humide
ni près d’une piscine, dans un soussol humide ou une
douche.
6. MISE EN GARDE: Utilisez uniquement les piles fournies. Il
existe un risque d’explosion si un autre type de batterie est
utilisé pour l’unité Parents. N’incinérez pas les piles. Celles-
ci risqueraient d’exploser. Jetez les piles usées selon les
renseignements suivant le sceau du RBRC.
7. N’utilisez que les adaptateurs inclus avec ce produit.
L’utilisation d’un adaptateur dont la polarité ou la tension
serait inadéquate risque d’endommager sérieusement le
produit et mettre votre sécurité en péril.

rallonges électriques.
15. Ne placez pas cet appareil sur un chariot, meuble, trépied,
support de montage ni table chancelants.
16. Les trous et ouvertures du boîtier, situés à l’arrière de
l’appareil ou sous celui-ci, servent à aérer l’appareil.
Pour l’empêcher de surchauffer, ne bloquez sous aucun
prétexte ces ouvertures et n’empêchez pas l’aération
adéquate de l’appareil en le plaçant sur un lit, divan,
tapis ou toute autre surface similaire. De même, ne le
positionnez pas à proximité ni au-dessus d’une source de
chaleur ou d’un calorifère. De plus, ne placez pas l’appareil
dans un endroit avant de vous assurer qu’il y ait une bonne
circulation d’air.
17. N’enfoncez jamais d’objets à travers les ouvertures de
cet appareil, car ils pourraient entrer en contact avec
des points de tension dangereux ou causer des courts-
circuits qui peuvent dégénérer en incendies ou en risques
d’électrocution. Ne renversez jamais de liquide dans ce
produit.
18. Afin de réduire les risques d’électrocution, ne démontez
pas cet appareil, mais apportez-le dans un centre de service
autorisé. L’ouverture du boîtier ou le retrait de toutes pièces

de façon périodique, éteindre l’écoute-bébé quand il n’est
pas en cours d’utilisation.
22. Les enfants devraient être supervisés afin de vous assurer
qu’ils ne jouent pas avec l’appareil.
23. Le produit n’est pas conçu pour être utilisé par des
personnes (incluant des enfants) aux capacités physiques,
sensorielles ou mentales réduites ou qui manquent
d’expérience et de connaissances, à moins qu’on leur
ait donné suffisamment de supervision ou d’instructions
relativement à l’utilisation de l’appareil par une personne
responsable de leur sécurité.

ordinateurs personnels, électroménagers et téléphones
sans fil.
Stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme
Les simulateurs cardiaques (ne s’applique qu’aux dispositifs
numériques sans fil) :
L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)’, une
firme de recherche indépendante, a mené une évaluation
pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre les téléphones sans
fil portatifs et les stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans
l’organisme. Appuyée par l’Administration des aliments et
drogues (FDA) des États-Unis, la firme WTR recommande aux
médecins:
Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques
• Vous devriez maintenir les dispositifs sans fil à au moins six
pouces du simulateur cardiaque.
• Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil directement
sur le stimulateur cardiaque, tel que dans une poche de
chemise, lorsque celui-ci est en marche.
L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas identifié de
risque pour les détenteurs de simulateurs cardiaques causés par
les gens qui utilisent dispositifs sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.
