You can power up the parent unit by connecting 

it to AC power or to the rechargeable battery 

provided. Even if the parent unit is connected to  

AC power, we recommend you also install the 

battery. This guarantees continual operation in 

case of a power outage.
Install the battery as shown below.

NOTES

Make sure the label 

THIS SIDE UP is facing up while 

inserting the battery.

NOTES

The operating time for using the rechargeable 

battery is short. If you want to monitor your baby for 

a long time, we recommend you connect the parent 

unit to AC power.
If the parent unit will not be used for a long time, 

disconnect and remove the battery to prevent 

possible leakage.
