TIPS AND WARNINGS
6.1 GENERAL:
•
Thoroughly read the user's manual and follow all indications.
•
Never place the baby unit or parent unit in wet or humid room or environment.
•
Ensure adequate heat dissipation; never cover the parent unit, the baby unit
and/or the power adapter(s) and never place them directly next to a heat
source.
•
Only use the supplied adapter(s); connecting a different type of adapter will
damage the electronics.
•
Make sure the adapter cables are free of any damage and ensure nobody can
trip or fall because of these cables.
•
Never dismantle the parent unit, the baby unit and/or the power adapter(s);
only qualified personnel is authorized to do so.
•
Never rotate the camera by hand; this might damage the engine. Only move
the camera using the control panel on the parent unit.
6.2 INSTALLATION:
•
Only connect or disconnect the power adapter to/from the baby unit or parent
unit when the power adapter is removed from the wall socket.
•
Never install the DVM-750 during thunder storms.
•
Never touch any non-isolated adapter cables, unless the adapters are
removed from the wall socket.
•
Make sure that there's sufficient cable length behind the baby unit for the baby
unit to be able to move freely.
6.3 RECEPTION INDICATOR/OUT-OF-RANGE NOTIFICATION:
•
At the top and in the middle of the display the strength is indicated of the
signal transmitted by the baby unit:
4 bars: excellent reception
3 bars: good reception
2 bars: average reception
1 bars: weak reception
•
Regardless of the signal strength, the video and audio are reproduced at the
same quality.
•
As soon as the parent unit loses the signal from the baby unit (out of range
or baby unit is switched off), the warning 'Link lost, trying to reconnect...' will
appear. If the connection is not re-established within 30 seconds, the warning
"Unable to connect, ensure the monitor is turned on and within range" will
appear.
•
The display will switch back on as soon as the parent unit is receiving the
signal again from the baby unit.
6.4 DELAY IN IMAGES AND SOUND:
•
The baby unit transmits the images and sounds to the parent unit in small
digital blocks. The parent unit converts these signals into recognizable images
and a clear sound. This is why there's a small delay in between the movement
and sounds of the baby and what can be seen/heard via the parent unit.
•
Also the sound and images on the parent unit are not exactly synchronised.
6.5 POWER SUPPLY:
•
Baby unit:
The baby unit is powered only by the power adaptor and is not provided with
an internal battery for mobile use.
•
Parent unit:
The parent unit is powered by a rechargeable 3.7V Lithium-Polymer battery
which can power the parent unit for 6 to 7 hours.
In the upper right part of the display the battery status is indicator:
battery full (battery colour is green)
battery 3/4 full (battery colour is green)
battery 1/2 full (battery colour is yellow)
battery 1/4 full (battery colour is red)
battery nearly empty (battery outline flashes in red) while alert tones
are emitted; the parent unit will switch off after approx. 30 minutes.
Please immediately connect the adaptor
battery is being charged
It takes approx. 6 hours to recharge an empty battery. Charging is faster when the
parent unit is switched off.
6.6 INTERFERENCE-FREE:
•
This baby display monitor is digitally coded. This means you will never receive
signals from other devices, nor can the signal from your baby unit(s) be
received by e.g. your neighbors.
•
In case the baby unit(s) or parent unit is placed in or in the close vicinity of
electromagnetic fields, the signal (images or sound) can be slightly affected. If
this happens, try a different location for the baby unit(s) or parent unit or move,
if possible, the source of the interference.
6.7 RANGE:
•
The baby display monitor has a range of up to 300 meters in an open field and
up to 50 meters indoors; this range depends on local circumstances.
When the units get out of range from each other, the image will first 'freeze' for
several seconds (no motion) followed by the 'Lost Link' notification (see also
paragraph 6.3) while the unit emits alert tones.
