Adjusting the devices for operation

Note: Before adjusting the devices to suit your requirements it is often advisable to
perform a reset. This resets all settings to the default setting, ensuring that you have a
safe basis to begin making your setting adjustments.
New devices already have the default settings.

2 seconds.
2. Disconnect the AC adapter D and remove all the battery packs.
3. Press the "UP" and "OK" buttons simultaneously and reconnect the AC adapter D.
Continue to hold the buttons down.

appeared completely (approx. 5 seconds) you can release the buttons.
5. After the display has appeared in full (approx. 15 seconds), press the "DOWN"
selection button and the word "BABYFON" appears on the display.
6. Press the "OK" button. All memories are now erased and reset to the default setting.

Setting the channel and the personal security code

N.B.: The transmitter and receiver can only communicate if the channel and security
code are identical on both devices.
By combining 4 channels with a personal security code you have numerous possibilities to
prevent interference.
Setting the channel
You have a choice of 4 channels. Each channel is allocated a particular frequency in the
radio frequency range. If there is too much interference on the selected channel, select
another one, making sure that you select the same channel for both devices.
1. Switch on the devices. To do so, press the mode button (MODE) A4 / B4 for approx.
2 seconds.
The display C lights up briefly and the symbols appear.
.
2. Press the mode button (MODE) A4 / B4 once. The channel indicator C3 "CH" begins
.
to flash.
.
3. Set the required channel (0 - 4) using the selection buttons (DOWN/UP) A3 / B3.
4. Confirm the setting by pressing the confirmation button (OK) A2 / B2. At the same
time you exit the setting mode and skip to the setting of the personal security code.
Setting the personal security code
You have the option of giving your BABYFON ® BM 850 a personal security code in the
form of a name of your choice. This enables you to protect yourself against the reception
of external radio transmissions on the same channel. If you can hear external radio
signals or interference on the set channel, select another security code in order to
prevent this, making sure that you select the same code for both devices.
