What’s in the box Install the battery Install the baby unit battery You can power up the baby unit by connecting it to AC power or installing 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. Install the battery as shown below. NOTES Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline and standard (carbon-zinc) batteries. The operating time for using AA batteries is short, only for a few hours. If you want to monitor your baby for a long time, we recommend you connect your baby unit to AC power. If the baby unit will not be used for a long time, disconnect and remove the battery to prevent possible leakage.
