Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless devices):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent
research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the
interference between portable wireless devices and
implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians
that:
Pacemaker patients
• Should keep wireless devices at least six inches from the
pacemaker.
• Should NOT place wireless devices directly over the
pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned
ON.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with
pacemakers from other persons using wireless devices.

Stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme
Les simulateurs cardiaques (ne s’applique qu’aux dispositifs
numériques sans fil) :
L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)’, une firme de
recherche indépendante, a mené une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des
interférences entre les téléphones sans fil portatifs et les stimulateurs
cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme. Appuyée par l’Administration
des aliments et drogues (FDA) des États-Unis, la firme WTR
recommande aux médecins:
Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques
• Vous devriez maintenir les dispositifs sans fil à au moins six pouces
du simulateur cardiaque.
• Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil directement sur
le stimulateur cardiaque, tel que dans une poche de chemise,
lorsque celui-ci est en marche.
L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas identifié de risque
pour les détenteurs de simulateurs cardiaques causés par les gens qui
utilisent dispositifs sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.

The baby unit has infrared LEDs that allow you to see your baby clearly at night or in a dark
room. When the baby unit being viewed detects low light levels, the infrared LEDs are
switched on automatically. The images from the baby unit are in black and white, and
appears on the screen.
Notes
• It is normal if you see a short white glare on your parent unit screen as the baby unit is adapting to
the dark environment.
• When the infrared LEDs are on, the images are in black and white. This is normal.
Tip
• Depending on the surroundings and other interfering factors, like lightings, objects, colors and
backgrounds, the display resolution may vary. Adjust the baby unit’s angle or place the baby unit at a
higher level to prevent glare and blurry display.

Below are the questions most frequently asked about the baby monitor. If you cannot find the answer to your
question, visit our website at www.vtechphones.com, or contact 1 [phone] for customer service.
Why does the
baby monitor
not respond
normally?
Try the following (in the order listed) for common cure:
1. Disconnect the power to the baby units and the parent unit.
2. Remove the batteries in the parent unit. Then, install the batteries again.
3. Wait a few seconds before connecting power back to the baby units and the parent unit.
4. Turn on the baby units and the parent unit.
5. Wait for the parent unit to synchronize with the baby units. Allow up to one minute
for this to take place.
Why don’t the
power-on light of the
baby unit and parent
unit go on when I switch
on the units?
Perhaps the parent unit is not connected to the power. Insert the appliance plug into
the parent unit and put the adapter in a wall socket. Then, press and hold to switch
on the parent unit and to establish connection with the baby unit.
Perhaps the baby unit is not connected to the power. Insert the appliance plug into the
baby unit and put the adapter in a wall socket. Then, slide the ON/OFF switch to ON
to switch on the baby unit and to establish connection with the parent unit.
Why doesn’t my parent
unit charge while
connected to AC power?
Make sure the power is not controlled by a wall switch.
Make sure the battery is correctly installed in your parent unit.
You may have used the battery for a long time. Replace a new battery.
Why is my screen in
black and white?
The screen is in black and white during night-time or in a dark room when the night
vision feature is activated. This is normal.
Why do I get glare or
blurry display on my
screen when viewing my
baby at night?
During night-time or in a dark room, the surroundings and other interfering factors,
like lightings, objects, colors and backgrounds may affect the image quality on your
parent unit screen. Adjust the baby unit’s angle or place the baby unit at a higher level
to prevent glare and blurry display.
Why does the baby
monitor produce a
high-pitched noise?
The parent unit and baby units may be too close to each other.
• Move the parent unit away from the baby units until the noise stops; OR
• Turn down the volume of your parent unit.
Why does the parent
unit beep?
The baby units may be out of range. Move the parent unit closer to the baby units (but
not less than 3 feet).
The parent unit may not have enough charge for the parent unit to perform normally.
Charge the battery in the parent unit for up to 11 hours.
The temperature of your baby’s room may be too high or too low.
Why does the parent
unit react too quickly to
other sounds?
The baby unit also picks up other sounds than those of your baby. Adjust the VOX
sensitivity level to a lower level or lower the parent unit speaker volume.
Why don’t I hear a
sound/Why can’t I hear
my baby cry?
The parent unit speaker volume may be too low or off. Press VOL+ to increase the
volume.
You may have set a low VOX sensitivity level. See Adjust the sound sensitivity of the
baby unit to set to a higher level.
Why can’t I establish a
connection? Why is the
connection lost every now
and then? Why are there
sound interruptions?
The baby units may be out of range. Move the parent unit closer to the baby units (but
not less than 3 feet).
Other electronic products and wireless products may cause interference with your
baby monitor. Try installing your baby monitor as far away from these devices as
possible.
If you power on only one baby unit, your parent unit may display , and the LINK
LED light flashes. Press to switch to the baby unit you have powered on.

Brightness
You can change the brightness of the parent unit screen.
LCD screen off timer
You can set a specific time to screen off your parent unit.
Temperature
You can choose to set the maximum/minimum temperature and turn on the
temperature alert tone so that the parent unit beeps whenever the room temperature

You can also choose to display the temperature in Fahrenheit (
o
F) or Celsius (

your parent unit.
Sound-activated screen
When the baby unit being viewed detects no sound, the parent unit screen stays
off to save power. Once a sound is detected, the parent unit screen turns on
automatically. It will then turn off again after 50 seconds of no sound detection.
VOX sensitivity
With this feature, you can choose to hear sounds from the baby unit all the time, or
to hear sounds that exceed a certain level. You can use the parent unit to adjust the
microphone sensitivity of your baby unit. The higher the sensitivity level, the more
sensitive the baby unit is in detecting sounds for transmitting to the parent unit.

You can select, play, or stop a lullaby.
Patrol mode
You can monitor your baby in PATROL mode.
