Help and troubleshooting If you have any problems setting up or using your baby monitor, see if these common questions can help. How long does the Parent unit battery last? A fully charged Parent unit will last about 6.5 hours with normal use. To speed up charging, charge the Parent unit when it’s switched off. You can also charge the Parent unit and use it at the same time, but it’ll charge slower and take longer to fully charge. How do I replace the battery? You should only use a Lithium 3.7V 2500mAh 9.
Help and troubleshooting My Parent/Baby unit isn’t working. What should I do? Check that: 1. power cables are plugged in and switched on at the wall socket 2. batteries are installed correctly and fully charged 3. the units are turned on 4. the Parent unit isn’t too far from the Baby unit(s) (large obstructions or other electrical devices might affect the signal between the Parent and Baby unit). Sometimes unplugging the power cables, waiting about 20 seconds, and then plugging them back in can help.
