EngliSh , , , , , , , , , , , , , 7 Make sure the baby unit and the cord are always out of reach of the baby (at least 1 metre/ feet away). Never place the baby unit inside the baby's bed or playpen. Never cover the baby monitor with a towel or blanket. Never immerse any part of the baby monitor in water or any other liquid. Never use the baby monitor in moist places or close to water. Except for the battery compartments, do not open the housing of the baby unit and parent unit in order to prevent electric shock. Only use the adapter supplied to connect the baby unit to the mains. Only use the charger supplied to charge the parent unit. The adapters contain a transformer. Do not cut off the adapters to replace them with other plugs, as this causes a hazardous situation. If the adapter of the baby unit is damaged, always have it replaced with one of the original type in order to avoid a hazard. If the charger or the adapter of the charger is damaged, always have the charger replaced with one of the original type in order to avoid a hazard. Always place non-rechargeable batteries of the correct type in the baby unit to avoid the risk of explosion. Always use rechargeable batteries of the correct type for the parent unit. Since continuous transmission is prohibited, you only hear your baby when it makes sounds. electromagnetic fields (eMF) This Philips Avent appliance complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). If handled properly and according to the instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on scientific evidence available today. Preparing for use Baby unit You can use the baby unit from the mains or on batteries. Even if you are going to use the unit from the mains, we advise you to insert batteries. This guarantees automatic back-up in case of mains failure. Mains operation 1 Put the small plug in the baby unit and put the adapter in a wall socket (Fig. ). Battery operation The baby unit runs on four 1.5V R6 AA batteries (not included). We strongly advise you to use Philips LR6 PowerLife batteries. Make sure your hands and the unit are dry when you insert the batteries. 1 Turn the battery compartment lid to the left (Á OPEN) with the palm of your hand. (Fig. ) Remove the lid. Insert four 1.5V R6 AA batteries (Fig. ). , Place two batteries on top of each other and make sure the + and ­ poles of the batteries point in the right direction. Note:When the batteries are running low, the battery check light (T) lights up red. Put the battery compartment lid back onto the unit and turn it to the right (CLOSE ª) with the palm of your hand to close it. (Fig. 5) 8 EngliSh Parent unit Battery operation The parent unit runs on two rechargeable 1.2V AAA NiMh batteries that are supplied with the appliance. Make sure your hands and the unit are dry when you insert the batteries. 1 Slide the battery compartment lid downwards to remove it (Fig. 6). Insert the two rechargeable batteries (Fig. 7). , Make sure the + and ­ poles of the batteries point in the right direction. Slide the battery compartment lid back onto the back of the parent unit until it locks into position (`click') (Fig. 8). Put the adapter in a wall socket and place the parent unit in the charger (Fig. 9). , The POWER light on the charger lights up. 5 Leave the parent unit in the charger until the batteries are fully charged , When charging for the first time or after a long period of disuse: switch off the parent unit and let it charge continuously for at least 10 hours. , Charging normally takes 8 hours, but it takes longer when the parent unit is switched on while charging. To keep the charging time as short as possible, switch off the parent unit during charging. , The POWER light on the charger stays on, even when the batteries are fully charged. , When the batteries are fully charged, the parent unit can be used cordlessly for at least hours. Note:The operating time of 24 hours is based on the assumption that the baby unit transmits 25% of the time and is in standby mode for the rest of the time (when the baby does not make any sound). Note:When the parent unit batteries are charged for the first time, the operating time is less than 24 hours. The batteries only reach their full capacity after you have charged and discharged them four times. Note:When the batteries are running low, the battery check light (T) flashes red. Place the parent unit in the charger. Note:When the parent unit is not in the charger, the batteries gradually discharge, even when the parent unit is switched off. Mains operation 1 Make sure you have inserted the rechargeable batteries in the parent unit Put the adapter of the charger in the wall socket and place the parent unit in the charger (Fig. 9). , The POWER light on the charger lights up. using the appliance 1 Place the parent unit and the baby unit in the same room to test the connection (Fig. 10). Make sure the baby unit is at least 1 metre/3 feet away from the parent unit. Press and hold the on/off button 3 on the baby unit for seconds. (Fig. 11) , The nightlight lights up briefly. , The ON light lights up. Press and hold the on/off button 3 on the parent unit for seconds.

The LINK light on the parent unit flashes green until connection has been established. This takes up to 0 seconds. The LINK light on the parent unit then lights up green continuously (Fig. 1). If no link is established after 30 seconds, the LINK light on the parent unit flashes red and the parent unit beeps from time to time. Place the baby unit at least 1 metre/ feet away from your baby (Fig. 1). 5 Position the parent unit within the operating range of the baby unit. Make sure it is at least 1 metre/ feet away from the baby unit (Fig. 15). For more information on the operating range, see section `Operating range' below.

Note: If the volume is set to a high level, the units consume more power. adjusting microphone sensitivity You can set the microphone sensitivity of the baby unit to the desired level. You can only change the microphone sensitivity when a connection between the baby unit and the parent unit has been established, i.e. when the LINK light on the parent unit lights up green continuously. 1 Briefly press the SENSITIVITY button on the parent unit (Fig. 18). , The sound level lights on the parent unit light up for approx. seconds to indicate the current sensitivity level. Briefly press the volume + and ­ buttons on the parent unit until the desired microphone sensitivity level for the baby unit has been reached. 10 EngliSh Note: If you press the SENSITIVITY button and/or the volume + and ­ buttons too long, the microphone sensitivity is not adjusted. - one light on = minimum sensitivity level - all lights on = maximum sensitivity level Note:When the microphone sensitivity of the baby unit is set to a high level, it picks up more sounds and therefore transmits more often. As a result, the units consume more power. talk function You can use the TALK button on the parent unit to talk to your baby (e.g. to comfort your baby). 1 Press and hold the TALK button and talk clearly into the microphone (Fig. 19). Release the TALK button when you have finished talking. Note:When you press the TALK button, you can no longer hear your baby.

The louder the sound, the more lights come on. nightlight 1 Briefly press the nightlight button Q on the baby unit to switch on the nightlight. (Fig. ) Press the nightlight button Q again briefly to switch off the nightlight. , The nightlight dims gradually before it goes out completely. Paging the parent unit If you have misplaced the parent unit and its volume is switched off, you can use the PAGE button on the baby unit to locate the parent unit. 1 Briefly press the PAGE button on the baby unit (Fig. 23). , The parent unit automatically resets to medium volume level and produces a paging alert tone. Note: If you press the PAGE button too long, the parent unit does not produce the paging alert tone. Belt clip and neck strap If the batteries of the parent unit are sufficiently charged, you can take the unit with you inside and outside the house if you attach the unit to your belt or waistband with the belt clip or if you hang it round your neck with the neck strap. This allows you to monitor your baby while you are moving around. Connecting the belt clip 1 Insert the small pin on the back of the belt clip into the opening on the back of the parent unit (1). Turn the belt clip to the left () until it locks into position (`click') (Fig. ). Note: If you press the nightlight button Q too long, the nightlight does not come on or go out.
