WARNINGS AND SAFETY INFORMATION 1
Do not place the cord in a high "wear and tear" location.
Never use a frayed or compromised cord.
IMPORTANT
Please read this user guide thoroughly before use.
Never use or place your Parent or Baby units in or near
moisture or water (e.g. near bath or pool). Immersing in
water can cause electric shock and even death.
Your ORICOM Baby Monitor is designed to be an aid and
should not be used as a substitute for responsible and
proper adult supervision of a child.
The Baby Monitor has been designed to provide some
added reassurance in the form of sound transmission
for those times when you are not in the same room as
your baby provided you always stay within hearing range
of the baby monitor during use. Your Baby Monitor is
not a medical device, nor a device to prevent cases of
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SID'S) or "cot death",
and you should not rely on it for your baby's wellbeing. It is
important that you regularly check on your baby personally.
Power requirements
This product requires an electrical supply of 220-240 volts,
single phase alternating current.
CAUTION
Use only the mains power adaptors supplied with this
equipment. Incorrect adaptor polarity or voltage can
seriously damage the unit and/or cause physical harm
and even death. The adaptors may become warm during
use, please take care when handling.
AC Adaptor (Baby unit / Parent unit)
!
Make sure the Baby unit, Parent unit and mains adaptor

connecting to the power supply. Do not use any voltage
converter with the monitor.
Never cover the Parent or baby units with clothes, towels
or blankets or any other item.

from the Charger pod when switched on. Note that the
Parent Unit cannot be used without batteries, even if it
is placed in the charger.
• The Baby Unit should be placed about 1 metre
to 1.5 metres away from the baby’s cot on a flat
surface. Never place the Baby Unit inside the cot,
bed or playpen. Make sure the unit, cords and mains
adaptor are out of reach of the baby and other
young children. Never place either Unit on antique
or polished surfaces (as slippage or scuffing may
occur). The unit may cause harm if it falls onto baby
or other young children.
For the Baby Unit
1 In event of a power failure, your Baby Monitor can switch
to battery power. It is therefore recommended that you
insert non-rechargeable batteries in the Baby Unit.

rooms.
To prevent feedback, do not take the Parent unit into the
nursery/baby's room.
Do not press the Talk button when the Baby unit and
Parent unit are positioned in the same room. Feedback will
be generated if the talk button is pressed when the Baby
unit and Parent unit are within 3 metres of each other.

pressing and sliding it down.
Insert 4 alkaline batteries of the
type AA (not provided) as marked
on the unit and close the cover
