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.

14. Ne surchargez pas les prises de courant murales ni les rallonges électriques.
15. Ne placez pas cet appareil sur un chariot, meuble, trépied, support de montage ni table chancelants.
16. Les trous et ouvertures du boîtier, situés à l’arrière de l’appareil ou sous celui-ci, servent à aérer l’appareil. Pour l’empêcher de surchauffer,
ne bloquez sous aucun prétexte ces ouvertures et n’empêchez pas l’aération adéquate de l’appareil en le plaçant sur un lit, divan, tapis ou
toute autre surface similaire. De même, ne le positionnez pas à proximité ni au-dessus d’une source de chaleur ou d’un calorifère. De plus,
ne placez pas l’appareil dans un endroit avant de vous assurer qu’il y ait une bonne circulation d’air.
17. N’enfoncez jamais d’objets à travers les ouvertures de cet appareil, car ils pourraient entrer en contact avec des points de tension dangereux ou
causer des courts-circuits qui peuvent dégénérer en incendies ou en risques d’électrocution. Ne renversez jamais de liquide dans ce produit.
18. Afin de réduire les risques d’électrocution, ne démontez pas cet appareil, mais apportez-le dans un centre de service autorisé. L’ouverture du
boîtier ou le retrait de toutes pièces que contient cet appareil, à l’exception de l’accès autorisé à certaines portes ou ouvertures, risque de vous
exposer à des points de tension dangereux ou d’autres dangers. Un remontage incorrect peut par la suite présenter des risques d’électrocution.
19. Vous devriez tester la réception chaque fois que vous mettez l’appareil en fonction.
20. Examinez les composantes afin de vérifier si celles-ci ne sont pas endommagées.
21. Soyez avisé de la perte de la confidentialité lorsque vous utilisez les ondes publiques. Les conversations peuvent être entendues par

téléphones, ordinateurs personnels, électroménagers et téléphones sans fil.
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 video quality may vary. Adjust the baby unit’s angle or place the baby unit at a
higher level to prevent glare and blurry display.

FCC and IC regulations
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 POWER 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 3 hours.
If your parent unit is in Split mode, some of your baby units may detect sounds.
The temperature of your baby’s room may be too high or too low.
Why does the parent unit
beep/vibrate frequently
in Split mode?
You may have set the VOX sensitivity level to Highest when the sound alert (and vibration)
feature is turned on. The parent unit notifies you of all sounds including background noise
with beeps (and vibration). Adjust the VOX sensitivity to a lower level.
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. Press
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 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 No link to CAM #,
and the LINK LED light flashes. Press VIEW to switch to the baby unit you have powered on.
