1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTENDED USE:
The Alecto DBX-84 is a wireless baby
monitor that allows you to remotely
listen to sounds from the baby room.
Attention:
• Only use the baby monitor as an
aid and never as a replacement
for an adult and human (baby)
sitter.
• The baby monitor has a range of
up to 300 meters in an open field
and up to 50 meters indoors; this
range depends on local condi-
tions (concrete walls, other baby
monitors or wireless phones,
etc.).
• Before each use, check whether
the baby monitor is working prop-
erly. In addition to its own range
and connection check, during
ease use it’s recommended to
regularly listen and check wheth-
er the connection with the baby
monitor is still in order.
• The DBX-84 may not be used
for anything else other than for
detecting sounds within your own
private environment; any persons
present or that could be present
in the space you’re listening to
must be informed of the installed
baby monitor.
• When the DBX-84 is not in use,
always switch it off by pressing
the power push-button.

INSTRUCTIONS AND TIPS
5.1 USING MULTIPLE BABY
INTERCOMS:
The technology of the DBX-84 allows
for the simultaneous and strings-free
use of multiple complete baby inter-
com sets (baby-unit and parent-unit)
next to each other, to monitor mul-
tiple baby rooms at the same time;
each parent/baby-unit combination is
provided with its own unique code,
making it impossible to receive DBX-
84 signals from other baby intercoms
or for other baby intercoms to receive
the sound from your baby.
It is not possible to expand your
DBX-84 with individual baby-units or
parent-units.
5.2 BATTERY USAGE:
With fully charged NiMH batteries
with a capacity of 750mAh, you can
use the parent unit more than 24
hours without the power adaptor. This
time depends on the use (the setting
of the volume level, the condition of
the rechargeable batteries, etc.).
You may check the battery status in
the display of the parent unit:
: The battery is full.
: The battery is still full for 2/3.
: The battery is full for 1/3,
charging is advised.
: The battery is low; the parent
unit will switch of soon; connect the
adapter immediately to charge the
batteries.
As soon as the battery low indicator
illuminates, also a alert beep sounds
every 60 seconds, and [LOW BATT]
will flash on the display.
Connect the power adaptor to
recharge the battery. It takes approx-
imately 24 hours to fully recharge an
exhausted battery.
5.3 MAINTENANCE:
Only clean the baby monitor with a
moist cloth; never use chemical clean-
ers. Before any cleaning, you must
disconnect the adapters.
Before cleaning, any connected power
adaptors must be disconnected.
5.4 ENVIRONMENT:
The packaging of this baby
video monitor can be discarded
as waste paper. At the end of
the product’s life span, it must not be
disposed of as normal domestic
waste. You must bring it to a collec-
tion point for the recycling of electric
and electronic equipment.
You must bring exhausted or defec-
tive batteries to your local depot for
small chemical waste or to dedicated
battery collection points. Never dis-
card batteries as normal domestic
waste.
