INSTALLATION
BABY-UNIT:
Power:
- Connect one of the supplied 6V power adaptors to the 6V DC input of the baby unit.
- Insert the adapter into a 230V wall socket.
Only use the supplied power adaptor with model number S005BNV0600060.
When used as a baby monitor:
Make sure the baby cannot reach the baby unit or wire. Place the baby unit at
least 2 meters away from the baby and you can bundle cables that are too long
with tape or cable ties available specifically for this purpose.
Wall-mounting:
Drill two holes next to each other in the wall, separated by a distance of
5.7cm and insert plugs and screws. The head of the screw should stick out of
the wall for several millimeters. Slide the foot of the baby unit over the
screws and then press the baby unit a little downwards.
Tips for placement:
- For use as a baby monitor: place the baby unit at least 2 meters away from your baby and make sure to safely tuck away the adapter cable.
- For optimal range, it is advisable to set up the baby unit as high as possible, free from large metal surfaces.
- The temperature protrudes from the rear of the baby unit. Make sure this sensor hangs freely, unexposed to direct sunlight, and avoids heat from e.g. light bulbs.
- The baby unit is not waterproof. When using outdoors, make sure to protect the baby unit against moisture and sand.
PARENT UNIT:
Power supply:
The parent unit can be powered directly by the included rechargeable battery
or via the supplied power adapter. As soon as you connect the power adapter,
it will charge the
battery allowing for mobile use of the parent unit.
Battery:
- Open the battery compartment by sliding off the battery cover at the rear of the unit.
- Connect the battery plug in the battery compartment according to the figure and install the battery.
- Slide the battery cover back onto the parent unit.
Never connect the plug or install the battery by force. Only install the supplied rechargeable NiMH battery (3.6V, 800mAh).
Power adapter:
- Connect the other 6V power adapter to the DC6V input on the side of the parent unit.
- Insert the adapter into a 230V wall socket.
Only use the supplied power adaptor with model number S005BNV0600060.
You can recharge the battery with the parent unit either switched on or off,
although charging the battery with the parent unit switched off will take less
time.
Charging:
The battery will be charged as soon as you connect the power adapter and
insert it into a 230V wall socket.
- For initial use, charge the battery for at least 15 hours, even if the indicator shows a fully charged battery.
- The charging circuit for the battery is managed electronically and there is no risk of overcharging, this allows you to leave the adapter connected at all times.
- In case you will not use the set for a longer period of time (>2 months), please make sure to disconnect the adapter from the wall socket and remove the battery from the parent unit. When starting to use the set again, make sure to properly charge the battery.
- Make sure nobody can trip or fall over the adapter cable. You can bundle cables that are too long with tape or cables ties available specifically for this purpose.

TIPS AND WARNINGS
GENERAL:
- Thoroughly read the user’s manual and follow all indications.
- Never place the baby unit or parent unit in a 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.
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-65 during thunderstorms.
- Never touch any non-isolated adapter cables, unless the adapters are removed from the wall socket.
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.
EAVESDROPPING/WIRETAPPING:
- Eavesdropping/wiretapping of the signals from this
baby video monitor is nearly impossible. Not only must
one be within range of the baby video monitor, one
also needs some very costly equipment.
MAINTENANCE:
- Only clean the baby monitor with a moist cloth; never use chemical cleaners. Before any cleaning, you must disconnect the adapters.
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 display will first ‘freeze’ for several seconds (no motion), followed by .
DELAY IN IMAGES AND SOUND:
- The baby unit transmits the images and sound to the parent unit in digital blocks. The parent unit converts these signals back to a recognizable image and a comprehensible sound. Therefore, there is a small delay between the moment of movement and making sounds and the display and sounds of the parent unit.
- Besides that, the sounds and images on the parent unit are not exactly simultaneous.
ENVIRONMENT AND DISCARDING:
- The packaging of this baby video monitor can be discarded as waste paper. However, we advise you to save this packaging so you can adequately protect the devices for transportation.
- ****Faulty or exhausted batteries or battery packs should be taken to your local depot for small chemical waste or to dedicated battery collection points. Never dispose of batteries or battery packs as normal household waste.
- In case the baby video monitor is being replaced, please return it to your supplier; they will guarantee environment-friendly processing.
PROBLEMS:
-
no image, no sound:
– are the parent unit and baby unit switched off? (battery charged, battery full?)
– is the parent unit within range of the baby unit?
– is the baby unit switched off because no sound is being detected?
– maybe the display of the parent unit is turned off with the LCD ON/OFF button?
– is the volume at the parent unit set to 0 (off)? -
If the above is all in order, remove the adapters from the wall sockets, take the rechargeable battery out of the parent unit, wait at least one minute and then reconnect everything. Now, switch the parent unit and baby unit back on.
-
If you still receive no images or sound, please contact the customer service of Alecto via the internet www.alecto. nl
