standard feature. This mode is always active and
automatically reduces the DECT signal from the
baby unit to the parent unit to save energy and
reduce radio transmission.

unit to turn the nightlight on or off.
• If no connection is established, the ‘link’ light
continues to ash red and the parent unit beeps.
What to do if no link is established
• If the parent unit is out of range, place it
closer to the baby unit.
• If the baby unit or parent unit is too close
to another DECT appliance (e.g. a cordless
phone), turn off this appliance or move the
unit away from this appliance.
• If the baby unit is turned off, turn it on.
7.2.1 Operating range
• The operating range is up to 300 meters/985 feet
outdoors and up to 50 meters/150 feet indoors.
• The operating range of the baby monitor
varies depending on the surroundings and
factors that cause signal attenuation.
Wet and moist materials cause so much signal
attenuation that the range loss is up to 100%.
For signal attenuation from dry materials, see
table below.
