Dim mode
The dim mode is to help you save the parent unit power. Your parent unit display will dim
automatically after 10 minutes of inactivity, in which there is neither key pressed nor alert
received from the baby unit.
Notes
While the screen is dimmed, any keypress or alert message will trigger the screen to return to the
preset brightness level. After 10 minutes of inactivity, it will dim again.
When you are not going to use the baby monitor for some time, remove the rechargeable battery from the
parent unit. Store the parent unit, the baby unit and the adapters in a cool and dry place.
