ENGLISH 25 Question Answer Why does the charging time of the parent unit exceed 8 hours? The specified operating range of the baby monitor is 330 meters/1000 feet. Why does my baby monitor manage a much smaller distance than that? Why is the connection lost every now and then? Why are there sound interruptions? What happens during a power failure? Is my baby monitor secure from eavesdropping and interference? The operating time of the parent unit is supposed to be at least 24 hours.Why is the operating time of my parent unit shorter? Why doesn't the battery symbol appear on the display of the parent unit when I start to recharge the parent unit? You may have set a maximum room temperature that is lower than the actual room temperature or a minimum room temperature that is higher than the actual room temperature.The baby unit continues to send data to the parent unit and therefore uses more power.This causes the nonrechargeable batteries of the baby unit to run low quickly. Perhaps you have switched on the nightlight. If you want to use the nightlight, we advise you to run the baby unit on electrical power. The parent unit may be switched on during charging. Switch off the parent unit during charging. The specified range is only valid outdoors in open air. Inside your house, the operating range is limited by the number and type of walls and/or ceilings in between. Inside the house, the operating range is up to 50 meters/150 feet. The baby unit and the parent unit are probably close to the outer limits of the operating range.Try a different location or decrease the distance between the units. Please note that it takes about 30 seconds each time before a connection between the units is established. If the parent unit is sufficiently charged, it continues to operate during a power failure, both inside and outside the charger. If there are batteries in the baby unit, it also continues to operate during a power failure. The DECT technology of this baby monitor guarantees no interference from other equipment and no eavesdropping. When the parent unit has been charged for the first time, the operating time is less than 24 hours.The rechargeable battery pack only reaches its full capacity after you have charged and discharged it at least four times. The volume of the parent unit may be set too high, which causes the parent unit to consume a lot of energy. Decrease the volume of the parent unit The microphone sensitivity level of the baby unit may be set too high, which causes the parent unit to consume a lot of energy. Decrease the microphone sensitivity level in the menu of the parent unit. It may take a few minutes before the battery symbol appears on the display of the parent unit when you charge the parent for the first time or after a long period of disuse.
