on its surroundings. Thick walls or metal can reduce the
range.
The baby monitor has an Eco-Mode, in which the
transmitter (baby unit) automatically switches to standby as
soon as your baby is sleeping peacefully. Depending on the
sensitivity setting, it will not switch back on until your baby
begins making a noise or starts to cry.
If you want to be sure of hearing every single sound from
the nursery you can use the VOX button 3 to set the
transmission sensitivity to its maximum (=level 5). On this
setting the baby unit is continually switched on (see
"9.2 Using the VOX function to adjust the transmission
sensitivity" on page 42).
This baby monitor has an integrated Eco-Mode function
that not only saves energy, but also minimizes the high-
frequency radiation in the nursery to zero while the baby is
sleeping. This means that your baby is not continually
exposed to radiation that is unnecessary during quiet
sleep. It furthermore has a Full-Eco-Control System that
always ensures and permanently checks that parent unit
and baby unit are linked. In case of a lost connection
parents will be alarmed immediately.
5.1 Eco-Mode
The Eco-Mode is automatically activated in VOX Level 1-4 (see
"9.2 Using the VOX function to adjust the transmission
sensitivity" on page 42). Is the mode activated, the
transmissions between the parent unit and baby unit are
limited.
The device automatically switches back to
transmission mode as soon as your baby makes a noise that
exceeds your selected sound threshold (VOX levels 1 - 4).

6. Safety information
If you do not want to hear any sounds at all you can use the
Vol - button 4 to set the volume to mute. In this case only
the LEDs for sound indication 2 will show you if your baby
is making noise.
Activating Eco-Mode minimises the high-frequency
radiation in the children's room. In this mode the baby unit
merely sends a brief signal to the parent unit every
30 seconds to test the connection. If the parent unit is out
of range, the parents will be alerted by a beep.
You will find more information about Eco-Mode in "5. Eco-
Mode and Full-Eco-Control" on page 39.
You can see when the Eco-Mode has been activated
because the LED indicator 5 on the parent unit as well as
the LED 11 on the baby unit start flashing green. You can
see when Eco-Mode has been deactivated because both
LED indicators show a steady green light. VOX Level 5
indicates a constant link between parent unit and baby unit
without an Eco-Mode option.
5.2 Full-Eco-Control
The function FULL-ECO-CONTROL guarantees that you
are always connected to your baby. Even when the Eco-
Mode is activated a link check is performed to ensure that
both units are connected. If at any time the parent unit is
out of range or for some other reason the connection is
interrupted, the LED 5 on the parent unit will will light up
red and an alarm signal can be heard.
Note: Check the range of your baby monitor before using
Eco-Mode. Make sure that the two units are always within
range, so that you can hear your baby.
a room that could be overheard must be informed that
you are using the device.
• Please note that transmission will always depend on
the surroundings. Electronic devices, insulation, walls,
moisture or trees can seriously interfere with reception.
