lights will turn red and flash slowly.
With new batteries, your Baby unit will
give up to 14 hours continuous
performance with the night lights

every 30 seconds) to warn you that there is no communication
between the Units. If this happens, check that the mains
power is plugged in and switched on at the Baby Unit.
When the Baby unit is not being used
and is disconnected from the mains
power, you should ensure you remove
the batteries. This will prevent the
batteries discharging.
Also check that the units are within range of one another.
During continual use the Baby unit and Parent unit charger
power adapters may become warm to the touch. This is
normal and not something to be concerned about.
Battery low warning – Baby unit
