Notes
– Both the ‘baby unit’ and ‘parent unit’ have a
‘battery low’ indication. If the batteries are
low the unit beeps and the red POWER LED
starts flashing.
– To conserve batteries, connect the units to
the mains by using the enclosed mains
adapters.
– If batteries are installed and the mains
power adapters are connected, the units
operate on mains power. In the event of a
mains failure, the batteries will take over.
IMPORTANT
– Replace batteriesinside the ‘baby unit’ with
original PHILIPS LR6 POWERLIFE batteries
only.
– Batteries inside the ‘parent unit’ are already
installed. Replace these batteries with
rechargeable NICAD (R6) batteries ONLY.
DO NOT INSTALL ANY OTHER TYPE OF
BATTERIES INSIDE THE ‘PARENT UNIT’!

4. OPERATION
OPERATION
(fig. 4)
‘Baby unit’
• Make sure the mains power adapter is
connected correctly, or batteries are
installed.
• Place the ‘baby unit’ near the baby’s bed,
making sure that the microphone is placed
in the best position for picking up baby’s
sounds.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure that the ‘baby unit’ is always out of
reach of the baby; never place the ‘baby unit’
inside baby’s bed or playpen!
• Select the VOICE mode using the mode
switch
(fig. 1.7)
.
– If sound is picked up by the built-in
microphone, the ‘baby unit’ starts
transmitting automatically. The transmission
stops when no sound is picked up any
more. During transmission the green
TRANSMIT LED lights up.
– The ‘baby unit’ also has a button for manual
transmission (TALK
fig. 1.8
). This function
operates both during VOICE and OFF-mode.
For manual transmission:
• Keep the TALK button pressed and speak
into the microphone.
– The green TRANSMIT LED light up.
– Spoken sound is transmitted until the TALK
button is released.
‘Parent unit’
• Make sure that the mains power adapter is
correctly connected to the recharging base,
or that batteries are installed.
– If batteries are installed, the ‘parent unit’
uses rechargeable battery power only in the
event of a mains failure, or when the unit is
not placed inside the standing base.
• Place the ‘parent unit’ inside the recharging
base, near to the parent’s location.
– If the mains power adapter is connected
correctly, the red CHARGE LED on the
recharging base lights up.
• Switch the ‘parent unit’ to ON to an
acceptable sound level
(fig. 1.4)
.
– If a sound signal is received from the ‘baby
unit’, it is heard via the built-in speaker.
• Adjust the sound level as required.
The ‘parent unit’ checks the received sound
signal. If the quality is too poor, the signal is
blocked.
In this case:
• Move the ‘parent unit’ closer to the ‘baby
unit’ to restore sound reception again.
– The maximum operating distance is 150 m
in ideal conditions.
Notes
– For baby monitoring make sure the ‘baby
unit’ is in VOICE mode!
– Do not place ‘baby unit’ and ‘parent unit’ too
close to each other while operating.
Otherwise the units will start resonating
(high-pitch sound).
