4. OPERATION
IMPORTANT!
Before using the Baby phone, check the sound
transmission. This checks whether a unit is
broken, or whether units are placed out of
range of each other. After this first check,
sound transmission should be checked on a
regular basis as follows:
Have an adult softly speak into the ‘baby unit’.
Sounds transmitted from the baby room
should be heard clearly via the ‘parent unit’ in
another room.
CHANNEL SELECTION
– The Baby phone can use 2 different
channels for radio signal transmission. If
sound reception is very poor, or other radio
signals are being picked up, please try the
other transmission channel as follows:
• Move the channel selector on both units to
the other channel
(fig. 1.2 and fig. 1.6)
.
Note: Always make sure the channel switches
on both units are set to the same position.
This ensures optimum reception.
VISUAL SOUND INDICATION
The ‘parent unit’ has a sound level indicator,
which visually alerts parents to their baby’s
crying, but no sound is heard via the speaker.
To operate the sound level indicator:
• Make sure the ‘baby unit’ is operational in
VOICE mode.
• Switch the ‘parent unit’ to ON to the
minimum sound level by adjusting the
volume control
(fig.1.4)
.
– If a sound signal is received from the ‘baby
unit’, the green sound LEVEL LEDs
(fig. 1.5)
light up. The louder the sound, the more
LEDs light up.
ROOM TEMPERTURE INDICATION
The ‘baby unit’ has a built-in thermometer to
check the temperature inside baby’s room.
The temperature which is shown in green is
the current room temperature.
RECHARGEABILITY
The ‘parent unit’ has a recharging function. If
the rechargeable batteries are empty they can
be recharged easily via the recharging base. To
recharge batteries:
• Make sure that the mains power adapter is
correctly connected to the recharging base.
– If the mains power adapter is connected
correctly, the red CHARGE LED on the
recharging base lights up.
• Place the ‘parent unit’ inside the recharging
base; batteries start to recharge.
– Totally empty batteries will take up 12-14
hours to fully recharge.
BELT-CLIP
With completely charged batteries, the
‘parent unit’ can be used as a truly cordless
product. The unit can be carried in and around
the house, using the easy belt-clip. This clip
can easily be attached to and removed from
the ‘parent unit’
(fig. 5)
.
TALK-BACK POSSIBILITY
The ‘parent unit’ also has a talk-back
possibility. Parents can talk to their children via
the ‘parent unit’. This means the Baby phone
has full intercom capabilities. To set up the
talk-back facility:
• Switch the receiver on the ‘baby unit’ to ON
to an acceptable sound level using the
volume control
(fig. 1.9)
.
• Keep the TALK button
(fig. 1.3)
pressed on
the ‘parent unit’ and talk clearly into the
microphone
(fig. 1.1)
.
– The signal is transmitted by the ‘parent unit’
and the received signal is heard on the ‘baby
unit’ speaker.
– Adjust the sound level as required.
Notes:
– Talking back via the ‘parent-unit’ is only
possible if the ‘parent-unit’ is not receiving a
signal!
– The ‘baby unit’ only receives a signal if it is
not already transmitting sounds.
– Switch the receiver on the ‘baby unit’ to
OFF using the volume control (fig. 1.9)
again after using talk-back possibility. This
conserves power.
