Operation with the plug-in charger

N.B. When using batteries the plug-in charger must not be connected under any
circumstances as this could cause the batteries to overheat and thereby damage
the device.
Please note: The radio frequencies used with your BABYFON ® BM 1000 S are legally
permissible only if the device is used on a mobile basis. As the law states that the device
is no longer considered to be mobile when it is connected to the plug-in charger during
operation, this is not permitted.
Continuous operation with the plug-in charger would be technically possible, but the
battery packs could be damaged by permanent charging.

Battery operation

N.B.: When using batteries the plug-in charger must not be connected under any
circumstances as this could cause the batteries to overheat and thereby damage
the device.
Instead of the batteries supplied you can also use AAA type batteries.
Advantages:
longer operating time than with battery packs;
greater range as batteries emit higher voltage than battery packs.
Disadvantages:
higher operating costs as they are not rechargeable;
unkind to the environment as they are not reusable.

Range of the devices

In view of the physical diffusion characteristics of radio waves, you will have to determine
the range of your BABYFON ® BM 1000 S in your surroundings by trial and error. In
optimal conditions, the range is up to 1,000 metres. However, the actual range depends
very much on local conditions, e.g. location of the transmitter, type of building or
atmospheric conditions. The range may also be reduced if you enclose the receiver in your
hands.
The spreading of radio waves can be physically influenced only to a slight degree, with
the result that there are places in the house or garden where radio contact does not take
place although the transmitter and the receiver are only a few metres apart (in a straight
line). Due to the numerous factors influencing FM products it is not possible to give a
"range guarantee". However, you should be able to move around freely with your
BABYFON ® BM 1000 S within the house/apartment. You can easily determine the range
in your surroundings by placing a radio in front of the BABYFON ® BM 1000 S
transmitter. When you can hear the transmission clearly, move around with the receiver in
the area where you have perfect functionality.

Troubleshooting

8.1

Reset function

You can reset the BABYFON ® BM 1000 S to the default setting if you have lost track of
the settings.
This allows subsequent function control (see chapter 4 "Setting up components / function
test" on page 5) and rules out malfunction. The following function steps are the same for
both devices and must be performed for both devices:
1. Switch off the device by pressing the On/Off button A4 for approx. 2 seconds.

2. Disconnect the AC adapter D, but leave the battery packs inside the device.
3. Press the "UP" A7, "MODE" A6 and "Talk" A2 buttons simultaneously
4. Switch the device back on while continuing to hold the buttons down.
5. As soon as all the values are displayed simultaneously in the display A5, release the
buttons.
6. Confirm the reset by pressing any button. The device switches itself off again. All
memories are now erased and reset to the default setting.

Battery packs are too weak
No transmission/ Channel and subcode are set differently on the
no sound two devices
Transmitter does not switch automatically to
transmission
Devices are outside the range
Transmitter is not by the baby or too far away
Batteries are empty
Low range
There is interference in the Unfavourable selection of channel and/or
transmission or external voices can security code
be heard
Loud beeping and whistling Feedback because the distance between the
devices is too small
Battery packs are no longer The AC adapter D is not connected to the
charged mains supply
The plug of the AC adapter D is not correctly
connected to device
The battery packs have reached the end of
their service life
The battery packs have been used for too long
in the AC adapter D and are now defective

sound
Solution
Remove the protective film from the display
Insert the battery packs according to the symbols on
the bottom of the battery pack compartment
Charge the battery packs (see 6.2 "Charging the bat-
tery packs")
Correct the setting (see 5.3 "Setting the channel and
subcode")
Increase the response sensitivity (see "Setting the
response sensitivity" under 5.5 "Transmitter (baby)")
Reduce the distance between the devices
Reduce the distance of the transmitter to the baby,
keeping the minimum distance of 1 metre
If you are using batteries, replace them
See 7 "Range of the devices"
Change to another channel or select another security
code (see 5.3 "Setting the channel and subcode")
Increase the distance between the devices or reduce
the volume on the receiver (see 5.6 "Receiver
(parents)")
Check the mains connection
