Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions 1. The technical specifications show an operating range of 1000 feet. Why does my monitor lose connection at a much shorter distance? The 1000-feet specified operating range is only valid outdoors in open air. Inside a home, the number and type of walls and ceilings between the baby and parent units limit the operating range. Indoors, the operating range is up to 150 feet. 2. The link between the baby and parent units is lost every now and then, and I'm experiencing sound interruptions. You may be approaching the outer limits of the operating range. Try a different location, or decrease the distance between the units (but not closer than 3 feet). Please note that it takes about 30 seconds to one minute before a new link is established. 3. What happens during a power outage? If batteries are installed in both the baby and parent units, they will automatically switch to battery power if the power goes out. 4. Is my DECT baby monitor secure from eavesdropping and interference? The 60 channels in the DECT spectrum and the monitor's secure channel search technology guarantee no interference from other appliances. 5. The technical specifications show that a fully charged parent unit has an operating time of up to 24 hours. Why is my parent unit out of battery power in much less time? When the parent unit batteries are charged for the first time, the operating time will be less than 24 hours. The batteries reach their full capacity after charging and draining at least 4 times. The parent unit's volume level may be too high. When the volume is set too high, the parent unit consumes more power. Decrease the volume level. The baby unit's microphone sensitivity level may be too high. When the microphone sensitivity level is high, it picks up more sounds and transmits them to the parent unit. The parent unit then consumes more power. Use the parent unit to adjust the baby unit's microphone sensitivity level. 21
