Question
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?
Why can't I establish a
connection? Why is the
connection lost every
now and then? Why are
there sound
interruptions?
What happens 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?
Why do I get
interference on the
parent unit?
Why does the parent
unit make a buzzing
sound?
Answer
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 between the parent unit and the baby unit.
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.
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.
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
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.
