If there are batteries in the baby unit, it also
continues to operate during a power failure.

18 hours. The rechargeable batteries only reach
their full capacity after you have charged and
discharged them at least four times.
• The volume of the parent unit may be too high,
which causes the parent unit to consume a lot of
energy. Decrease the volume of the parent unit
• The microphone sensitivity level of the baby
unit may be too high, which causes the parent
unit to consume a lot of energy. Decrease the
microphone sensitivity level in the menu of the
parent unit.
Whydoesittakesometimeforthebattery
status indicator to appear on the display when I
startchargingtheparentunitwhileitisoff?
• This is normal. The parent unit needs a few
seconds to wake up when you connect it to
the mains while it is switched off. When it is

that it is charging and it has to measure the
battery charge level before the battery status
indicator can be displayed.
Whydotherechargeablebatteriesoftheparent
unitrunlowquickly?
• The rechargeable batteries have reached the
end of their life. You have to replace them. To
replace the rechargeable batteries, see chapter
‘Ordering accessories’.
• The volume on the baby unit may be too high,
which causes the baby unit to consume a lot of
energy. Decrease the volume of the baby unit.
• You may have set a maximum temperature
range that is lower than the actual room
temperature or a minimum temperature range
that is higher than the actual room temperature.
The baby unit continues to send data to the
parent unit and therefore uses more power.This
causes the non-rechargeable batteries of the

• Perhaps you switched on the nightlight. If you
want to use the nightlight, we advise you to run
the baby unit on mains power.
Whydoesthechargingtimeoftheparentunit

• The parent unit may be switched on during
charging. Switch off the parent unit during
charging.

open air. Inside your house, the operating range
is limited by the number and type of walls and/
or ceilings in between. Inside the house, the
operating range is up to 50 metres/150 feet.
Whyistheconnectionlosteverynowandthen?
Whyaretheresoundinterruptions?
• The baby unit and the parent unit are probably
close to the outer limits of the operating
range. Try a different location or decrease the
distance between the units. Please note that
it takes about 30 seconds each time before a
connection between the units is established.
• You may have placed the unit next to a
transmitter or other DECT appliance, such as
a DECT telephone or other 1.8GHz/1.9GHz
baby monitor. Move the unit away from the
other appliances until the connection is re-
established.
