Baby monitor
This feature allows you to listen in on a room
where another handset is located, allowing
you to easily monitor from different areas of
the house or place. The monitored handset
(placed in a baby’s room, for example) will
automatically call the monitoring handset,
base unit, or the phone number stored when it
detects sound.
Important:
R You should perform a test run of the baby
monitor procedure to ensure that the baby
monitor feature is set correctly. For
example, test its sensitivity. Check the
connection if you are diverting the baby
monitor to an outside line.
R This feature should not be used as a
substitute for a medical or caregiver’s
supervision. It is the caregiver’s
responsibility to stay close enough to
handle any eventuality.
Note:
R If the unit is connected to a PBX system,
you cannot set the baby monitor.
R During the monitoring mode, battery
consumption is faster than usual. We
recommend leaving the monitored handset
on the base unit or charger.
R The monitored handset never rings while it
is being monitoring. If the base unit is
placed near the monitored handset, we
recommend turning off the base unit ringer
volume (page 47, 48).
Setting the baby monitor
Perform the setting operation with the handset
to be monitored (for example, the handset
placed in a baby’s room).

To monitor from an outside line
If you enable this feature, the unit will call a
pre-programmed phone number when the
handset detects sound. After you answer the
call, you can listen in on the room where the
handset is located.
This feature is only available for landline.

area code and format of the edited number.
The next time someone calls from the same
area code, caller information is customized by
the unit as follows:
– When the call is being received, the CallerID number is displayed in the same format
as the edited number.
– After the call has ended, the caller’s phone number is displayed in the same format as
the edited number, when reviewed from the
caller list.

the unit to ignore the area code of callers in
your area, so that you can call these local
numbers using caller information without
dialing the area code.
To activate this feature, you must edit an entry
in the caller list, then call that number. After
that, phone numbers from that caller’s area
code are edited automatically.
