Preparing for use
IMPORTANT: Read the safety instructions carefully before you use
the baby monitor and keep them for future reference.
Baby unit
We advise you to use the baby unit connected to the mains. To guarantee
automatic power backup in case of mains failure, you can insert four 1.5V
AA alkaline batteries (not included).
Do not use rechargeable batteries. The baby unit does not have a
charging function and rechargeable batteries discharge slowly when they
are not in use.
Parent unit
The parent unit runs on two rechargeable batteries that are supplied with
the baby monitor. Charge the parent unit before you use it for the rst
time and when the batteries are low.
Please note that for the SCD710/SCD711/SCD713, you have to
charge the parent unit for the full 10 hours to have a cordless
operating time of 18 hours. (For the SCD715: the charging time is
14hours and the operating time is 25 hours.
Note: When you start using the baby monitor, it takes 4 charge and
discharge cycles before the rechargeable batteries reach their full
capacity.
Using the baby monitor
Positioning the baby monitor
Keep the baby unit out of the reach of the baby. Never place
the baby unit inside the baby’s bed or playpen.
- Because the cord of the baby unit presents a potential strangulation
hazard, make sure that the baby unit and its cord are at least
1metre/3.5feet away from your baby.
- To prevent a high-pitched sound from one or both units, make sure
that the parent unit is at least 1 metre/3.5 feet away from the baby
unit.
