Using a handset as a room monitor
With this function, a previously stored internal or external number is called when a set
noise level in the room is reached (the baby cries). When you answer the call you hear
the noise in the baby's room. The room monitor remains activated on the handset even
after you hang up.
The handset should be between 1 and 2 metres away from the baby. The microphone
must be directed towards the baby.
When the room monitor is activated, incoming calls to the handset which is near the
baby are indicated without a ring tone, they are just shown on the display. The display
and the key pad are not illuminated.
When entering an external telephone number, make sure:
◆ The handset in the baby's room is not barred for outgoing calls.
◆ The number to which the alarm calls is sent is not blocked by an activated answering
machine.
W Always check the settings of the room monitor before you leave
home, e.g. sensitivity and phone line.
i
◆ If you redirect your room monitor to an external number, then you
should tell that number's owner.
◆ The room monitor's call to an external phone number stops after
about 90 seconds, to an internal number (handset) it stops after
about 180 seconds (depending on the base station).
◆ The room monitor function severely curtails the handset's operating
time. You can leave the handset in the baby's room in the charging
unit. This will avoid the battery going flat.
◆ The room monitor function can also be used in Walk and Talk mode.
