10 Good to know about the baby monitor
š Battery operation of the baby monitor minimises electrosmog from electrical and magnetic alternating
fields.
š You can increase the range of the baby monitor by positioning the camera as high up as possible near
a door or window and ensuring that the batteries are not too weak.
š Other radio waves may interfere with the transmission of the baby monitor. Therefore, do not position
the baby monitor near devices such as microwaves, WLAN, etc.
š The following other factors can interfere with the baby monitor's transmission or shorten its range:
furniture, walls, houses, trees, environmental factors (such as fog and rain).
11 Storage and maintenance
The service life of the devices depends on careful use:
Important:
š Remove batteries when the device is not in use for a long period.
š You will get the maximum capacity from your battery if you run down the battery at least once
every 6 months. To do this, disconnect the device from the mains and run the battery down
through normal use. Then fully charge the battery up again.
š The maximum battery capacity can only be reached after it has been charged several times
and is dependent on many factors (battery state, ambient temperature, means and frequency of
charging, etc.).
š Protect the devices from knocks, damp, dust, chemicals, drastic changes in temperature, elec-
tromagnetic fields and nearby sources of heat (ovens, heaters).
š If dirty, wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth.
š Clean the device with a dry cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaning products.
