Philips AVENT Digital Video Baby Monitor SCD600/00 SCD600/00 Manuel D’Utilisation

Question

Answer

Why do the non-

rechargeable batteries of 

the baby unit run low 

quickly?

Perhaps you have switched on the nightlights. If you want to use the 

nightlights, we advise you to use the baby unit on mains power.

Perhaps you are playing lullabies. The baby unit consumes a lot of 

energy when you play lullabies. If you play lullabies, we advise you to 

use the baby unit on mains power.

Why does the charging 

time of the parent unit 

exceed 3.5 hours?

The parent unit may be switched on during charging. Switch off the 

parent unit during charging.

The specified operating 

range of the baby 

monitor is 150 

metres/490 feet. Why 

does my baby monitor 

manage a much smaller 

distance than that?

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.

Why can’t I establish a 

connection? Why is the 

connection lost every 

now and then? Why are 

there sound 

interruptions?

The baby unit and the parent unit are probably close to the outer 

limits of the operating range or there is interference from other 

2.4GHz wireless devices. Try a different location, decrease the distance 

between the units or switch off other 2.4GHz wireless devices. Please 

note that it takes about 5 seconds each time before a connection 

between the units is established.

What happens during a 

power failure?

If the parent unit is sufficiently charged, it continues to operate during 

a power failure. If there are batteries in the baby unit, it also continues 

to operate during a power failure.

The operating time of 

the parent unit is 

supposed to be at least 6 

hours. Why is 

the operating time of my 

parent unit shorter?

When the parent unit has been charged for the first time, the 

operating time is shorter because the battery has not reached its full 

capacity yet. The rechargeable battery only reaches its full capacity 

after you have charged and discharged it at least four times. After 

this, the operating time is 6 hours if the automatic screen activation is 

not activated and 8 hours if the automatic screen activation mode is 

activated.
The parent unit consumes a lot of energy when the video display is 

switched on continuously. Activate the automatic screen activation 

mode to increase the operating time (see chapter ‘Features’, section 

‘Automatic screen activation’).
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

Why do I get 

interference on the 

parent unit?

Interference may occur when the parent unit is out of range of the 

baby unit. Interference may also occur if there are too many walls or 

ceilings between the parent unit and the baby unit or when other 

2.4GHz wireless devices are switched on (e.g. microwave, internet). 

Put the parent unit in a different place, closer to the baby unit, or 

switch off other wireless devices.
