Why doesn’t the POWER
light on the baby unit turn
on when I switch on the
units?
Perhaps the baby unit is not connected to the power supply.
Connect the baby unit to power supply. The baby unit turns on.
Why doesn’t the POWER
/ LINK light on the parent

on the units?
Perhaps the battery of the parent unit is depleted and the parent unit is not connected to
power supply. Connect the parent unit to power supply and charge the parent unit battery.
The parent unit turns on and establishes connection with the baby unit.
Why does the baby
monitor not respond
normally?
Try the following (in the order listed) for common cure:
1. Make sure that both baby unit and parent unit are on. Disconnect the power from the
baby unit and the parent unit.
2. Remove the battery from the parent unit.
3. Connect the baby unit to the power supply again. The baby unit turns on.
4. Connect the parent unit to the power supply again. The parent unit turns on.
5. Wait for the parent unit to synchronize with the baby unit. Allow up to one minute for this
to take place.
6. Press
or to adjust the speaker volume on the parent unit.
Why does the baby
monitor produce a high-
pitched noise?
The units may be too close to each other. Make sure the parent unit and the baby unit at
least 6.5 feet / 2 meters away from each other.
Why don’t I hear a sound/
Why can’t I hear my baby
cry?
Make sure that both baby unit and parent unit are on. If you see the visual sound indicators
light up, but there is no sound, then you may have muted the volume or set it to a lower
level. Adjust the volume to a higher level.
If the visual sound indicators do not light up, and you cannot hear any sound, it is because
the baby sound is too low for the baby unit to detect. This is normal. Place the baby unit at
least 6.5 feet / 2 meters away from your baby.
Why does the parent unit
beep?
The parent unit beeps three times every 30 seconds when the baby unit is out of range. Move
the parent unit closer to the baby unit (but not less than 6.5 feet / 2 meters).
The parent unit beeps twice every 10 minutes and the
light flashes in red when the
battery is low. Connect the parent unit to the power supply and charge the battery for at
least 30 minutes.

least 30 minutes.
Why can’t I establish a
connection? Why is the
connection lost every now
and then? Why are there
sound interruptions?
The baby unit may be out of range. Move the parent unit closer to the baby unit (but not less

source d’humidité, par exemple, près d’une baignoire, cuve
à lessive, évier de cuisine, dans un sous-sol humide ni près
d’une piscine, dans un soussol humide ou une douche.
6. MISE EN GARDE: Utilisez uniquement les piles fournies. Il
existe un risque d’explosion si un autre type de batterie est
utilisé pour l’unité Parents. N’incinérez pas les piles. Celles-
ci risqueraient d’exploser. Jetez les piles usées selon les
renseignements suivant le sceau du RBRC
®

17. Les trous et ouvertures du boîtier, situés à l’arrière de
l’appareil ou sous celui-ci, servent à aérer l’appareil. Pour
l’empêcher de surchauffer, ne bloquez sous aucun prétexte
ces ouvertures et n’empêchez pas l’aération adéquate de
l’appareil en le plaçant sur un lit, divan, tapis ou toute autre
surface similaire. De même, ne le positionnez pas à proximité
ni au-dessus d’une source de chaleur ou d’un calorifère. De
plus, ne placez pas l’appareil dans un endroit avant de vous
assurer qu’il y ait une bonne circulation d’air.
18. N’enfoncez jamais d’objets à travers les ouvertures de

circuits qui peuvent dégénérer en incendies ou en risques
d’électrocution. Ne renversez jamais de liquide dans ce
produit.
19. Afin de réduire les risques d’électrocution, ne démontez
pas cet appareil, mais apportez-le dans un centre de service
autorisé. L’ouverture du boîtier ou le retrait de toutes pièces

d’installer votre moniteur vidéo ou audio à l’écart des
appareils électroniques tels que des routeurs sans fil, radios,
téléphones cellulaires, interphones, moniteurs, téléphones,
ordinateurs personnels, électroménagers et téléphones sans
fil.
Stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme
Les simulateurs cardiaques (ne s’applique qu’aux dispositifs
numériques sans fil) :
L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)’, une
firme de recherche indépendante, a mené une évaluation
pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre les téléphones sans fil
portatifs et les stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme.
Appuyée par l’Administration des aliments et drogues (FDA) des
États-Unis, la firme WTR recommande aux médecins:
Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques
• Vous devriez maintenir les dispositifs sans fil à au moins six
pouces du simulateur cardiaque.
• Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil directement sur
le stimulateur cardiaque, tel que dans une poche de chemise,
lorsque celui-ci est en marche.
L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas identifié de risque
pour les détenteurs de simulateurs cardiaques causés par les gens
qui utilisent dispositifs sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.
