What’s in the box
Install the battery
Inst all the b at ter y
You can power up the baby unit by connecting
it to AC power or to four AA alkaline batteries.
Even if the baby unit is connected to AC
power, we recommend you also install four AA
alkaline batteries. This guarantees continual
operation in case of a power outage.
Install four AA alkaline batteries (not supplied)
into the battery compartment, matching the
polarity markings (+ and -) inside the battery
compartment.
Make sure the ribbon attached inside the
battery compartment is put under the batteries
and the excess ribbon is tucked in properly.
Inst all th e bat ter y as show n below.
Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix
alkaline and standard (carbon-zinc) batteries.
