• The power supply indicator POWER 15:
– lights up green: the device is switched
on and the battery is fully charged;
– flashes green: the battery currently
being charged;
– lights up red and beeps at one minute
intervals: low battery warning. Within
about 15 – 20 minutes the parent unit
will switch off automatically. Please be
aware that this interval may be
reduced, depending on how you use
the device (for example, VOX level 5
uses more power than level 1).
•The display 16 with the 5 LEDs has three
functions. The LEDs are only visible when
in use.
– indicates the noise level in the nursery.
The more LEDs are lit, the louder the
noises;
– indicates the different levels when you
are adjusting the volume. The more
LEDs are lit, the louder the sound from
the loudspeaker;
– indicates the different levels when you
are adjusting the VOX sensitivity. The
more LEDs are flashing, the sooner the
device will react to sounds. If 5 LEDs
are lit the device will switch to
continuous transmission.
6.3 Using the VOX function to
adjust the transmission
sensitivity
Babies make a lot of different noises. These
can range from loud breathing through
babbling to calling or loud crying. The VOX
function can be set up in such a way that
only loud sounds such as crying or calling
are transmitted while quieter sounds are not
registered.
The VOX function sets up the transmission
sensitivity of the microphone. The higher the
VOX level the more sensitive the device is to
noises.
1. You activate the VOX function by briefly
pressing the VOX button 17.
The LEDs 16 indicate the sensitivity of
the current setting by flashing.
2. You can increase or decrease the
transmission sensitivity by pressing one
of the buttons VOL + 10 or VOL - 11. The
number of flashing LEDs 16 corresponds
to the selected level:
– VOX level 1 = extremely low sensitivity,
reacts only if baby screams really
loudly;
– VOX level 2 = low sensitivity, reacts if
baby screams loudly;
– VOX level 3 = normal sensitivity, reacts
if baby cries normally;
– VOX level 4 = high sensitivity, reacts
even to slight sounds;
– VOX level 5 = Eco-Mode is switched
off. The unit is set to transmit continu-
ously.
You can set up the volume at which the
parent unit should output the transmitted
sounds using the two buttons VOL + 10 and
VOL - 11 (see "6.4 Adjusting the volume
control" on page 29).
Note: After activating the VOX function, you
have about two seconds to alter the
transmission sensitivity. The device will then
automatically switch back to transmitting
sounds. You can see this has happened
because the LEDs 16 will no longer be
flashing, and the VOL + 10 and VOL - 11
buttons now only modify the volume.
Caution! In continuous transmission mode
at VOX level 5, all sounds are transmitted
continuously. When the baby is sleeping
peacefully, the volume is automatically
reduced to its lowest level after a few
seconds to minimise background noise. As
soon as the child begins to make a noise,
the volume automatically returns to its
previous setting.
