8. Useful information about the baby monitor
• If you operate the parent unit with the battery, this minimises electrosmog from elec-
trical and magnetic alternating fields.
• You can increase the range of the baby monitor by positioning the camera as high up
as possible near a door or window and by ensuring that the battery is not too weak.
• Other radio waves may possibly interfere with the transmission of the baby moni-
tor. Therefore, do not position the baby monitor near devices such as microwaves,
WLAN, etc.
• The following other factors can interfere with the baby monitor’s transmission or
shorten its range: furniture, walls, houses, trees, environmental factors (such as
fog, rain).
9. Maintenance and cleaning
The service life of the camera and the parent unit depend on careful handling.
IMPORTANT
• Remove the battery from the parent unit if the video baby monitor is not in use for
an extended period.
• You will get the maximum capacity from your battery if you run down the battery at
least once every six months. To do this, disconnect the parent unit from the mains
and run the battery down through normal use. Then fully charge the battery up again.
• The maximum battery capacity can only be reached after it has been charged sev-
eral times and is dependent on many factors (battery state, ambient temperature,
means and frequency of charging, etc.).
• Protect the camera and the parent unit from knocks, damp, dust, chemicals, drastic
changes in temperature, electromagnetic fields and nearby sources of heat (ovens,
heaters).
• Clean the camera/parent unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any abrasive clean-
ing products.
