Preparing for use

IMPORTANT: Read the important safety information carefully before

you use the baby monitor and keep them for future reference.

Baby unit

We advise you to use the baby unit connected to the mains� To guarantee

automatic power backup in case of mains failure, you can insert four 1�5V

AA alkaline batteries (not included)�

Recharge the rechargeable batteries in a separate battery charger� The

baby unit does not have a charging function and rechargeable batteries

discharge slowly when they are not in use�

Parent unit

The parent unit runs on two rechargeable batteries that are supplied with

the baby monitor. Charge the parent unit before you use it for the rst

time and when the batteries are low�

Please note that for the SCD710/SCD711/SCD713, you have to

charge the parent unit for the full 10 hours to have a cordless

operating time of 18 hours. (For the SCD715: the charging time is

14hours and the operating time is 25 hours.

Note: When you start using the baby monitor, it takes 4 charge and

discharge cycles before the rechargeable batteries reach their full

capacity�

Using the baby monitor

Positioning the baby monitor

Keep the baby unit out of the reach of the baby. Never place

the baby unit inside the baby’s bed or playpen.

- Because the cord of the baby unit presents a potential strangulation

hazard, make sure that the baby unit and its cord are at least

1metre/3.5feet away from your baby.

- To prevent a high-pitched sound from one or both units, make sure

that the parent unit is at least 1 metre/3.5 feet away from the baby

unit�

surroundings and factors that cause interference� Wet and moist

materials cause so much interference that the range loss is up to

100%. For interference from dry materials, see the table below.
