• Never cover the parent unit and the baby unit with
anything (e.g. a towel or blanket). Always make sure the
cooling vents of the baby unit are free.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
• If you place the parent unit next to a transmitter or
other DECT appliance (e.g. a DECT telephone or
wireless router for the internet), the connection with
the baby unit may be lost. Move the baby monitor
further away from the other wireless appliances until
the connection is restored.
• This baby monitor is intended as an aid. It is not a
substitute for responsible and proper adult supervision
and should not be used as such.
