    Product Description

    The VTech DM221 Digital Audio Monitor with DECT 6.0 digital technology provides crystal clear transmission, eliminating the annoying white noise you hear from analog monitors. The only sounds you hear are coming from your baby. Totally digital transmission eliminates background noise and prevents interference so you can rest assured the only sounds you—and only you—will hear are your baby's. Make sure the Baby Unit is turned on. Move the Parent Unit closer to the Baby Unit, but not closer than 1 meter / 3 feet. If you are using the Parent Unit in cordless mode, the battery may be low and requires recharging. A full charge takes 12 hours. Reset the system by disconnecting power from both units, waiting at least one minute, then reconnecting power. Allow time for the two units to link to each other. Nearby cordless phones or other electronic devices may be interfering with the baby monitor. Separate these devices as far apart as possible. When you turn the nightlight on, if no sound is detected for 15 minutes, the light will turn itself off.

    Tips on product's operations

    • Simply connecting power for both units and allow 1-min for the units to link to each other.
    • Crystal clear sound with DECT 6.0 digital technology. The best reception can be obtained by placing units away from cordless phones or other electronic devices, and make sure the parent unit is 3 feet (1 meter) away from the baby unit.
    • You can choose to hear sounds from the baby unit all the time, or to hear sounds that exceed a certain VOX level. And set the parent unit to alert you with sound or vibration.
    • The parent unit is operated with the rechargeable battery or by AC power. A fully charged battery can operate 9 to 16 hours depending on monitor's sensitivity settings. As it takes up to 11 hours for the battery to be fully charged, turn the parent unit off while charging can help shorten the charging time.
    • The parent unit is preset to plays an audio Safety Reminder when it is connected to a baby unit. You may turn it off by pressing MENU / REMINDER / SELECT / OFF after your initial set up.

    belt clip

    A set of five LED lights on the parent unit indicates the level of sound in your baby's room so you can visually monitor noise level with the receiver muted. In vibration mode, the parent unit alerts you with gentle vibrations when your baby is fussing.

    Talk from a parent unit to the baby unit (for DM221) and the other parent unit if you have two parent units (for DM221-2). You can use both of the parent unit at the same time to talk to the baby unit.

    The loop on the baby unit illuminates as a gentle light night. Both your parent unit and baby unit allow you to turn on or off the nightlight. If no sound is detected for 15 minutes, the light will turn itself off.

    Belt clip on the parent unit lets you hands-free and move freely around your home.

The battery life on the parent unit doesn't last even all night, and it runs low during a single use.

    MANY USES, VERY DEPENDABLE

    MANY USES, VERY DEPENDABLE
    First, this is a VTech product and i have found VTech products to be reliable and sturdy.I am bedbound and needed a way to alert my caregivers I needed their assistance for something. My apartment is not huge, but vif the caregiver was in the kitchen doing dishes, or elsewhere in the apartment surrounded by noise, I had trouble yelling loudly enough to get their attention . I saw this set and decided to try them out as a solution to the communicatioun issue with my caregivers. We set it up easily as soon as it arrived (in 2 days) . What a relief! I just press the "page" button on my end (a module plugged into an electrical outlet) and the receiver end (also plugged into an outlet) peeps loudly (at lower volume if you chose) . The caregiver button turns it off or can use the "talk" function on the side to ask what I need and bring it. Makes it a cinch to communicate now!I can think of many other situations in which this communication device would be useful. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
