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.

With the label

 THIS SIDE UP facing up, 

insert the small tabs of the battery into the 

slots inside the battery compartment. Make 

sure the metallic contact is correctly oriented 

as shown below. Push the battery into the 

battery compartment until it clicks securely 

into place. 

Align the battery compartment cover flat 

against the battery compartment, then slide 

it towards the center of the parent unit until it 

clicks into place

.

To replace the battery, press down on the large 

tab of the battery and pull it out of the battery 

compartment, then follow the steps above to 

install the battery.

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.
Use only the battery supplied with this 

product.

Use only the parent unit power adapter or 

the baby unit power adapter supplied with 

this product. 
The parent unit power adapter and baby 

unit power adapter are intended to be 

correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount 

position. The prongs are not designed to 

hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a 

ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.
Make sure the parent unit, the baby unit 

and the power adapter cord are out of reach 

of children.

age of the battery.

When the parent unit is operating in battery 

mode and the battery is low, you need to charge 

the parent unit without interruption for at least 

30 minutes to give the parent unit enough 

charge to use for a short time. When operating 

in low battery condition, the parent unit displays
