Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the BÉABA ZEN PREMIUM video baby monitor. This manual provides essential information for optimal use and care of your product. Please read it carefully before use.
Important Safety Information
Warnings
To prevent strangulation hazards, ensure the adapter cable is always out of reach of children, placed at least 1 meter away from the infant. Avoid immersing units or the charger in water. Keep batteries away from excessive heat sources. Do not cover the baby monitor with towels or blankets. Do not touch plug contacts with sharp or metallic objects. The baby unit adapter may become warm during use, which is normal.
Precautions for Use
Use this device only as described in this manual. Position the baby unit for the best view of the baby in the crib, on a flat surface like a dresser or shelf. Avoid plugging other electrical devices into the same outlet as the baby monitor to reduce interference. Ensure the voltage on the adapters matches your mains voltage. Do not place the camera near devices operating on the 2.4 GHz frequency (Wi-Fi or Bluetooth). Turn off the parent unit when not in use and unplug the baby unit when not in use. This product should be installed by adults. Keep small components away from children during assembly.
Adult Supervision
The video baby monitor is intended to assist and provide peace of mind, not as a medical device or a substitute for adult supervision. Regular adult monitoring of the baby is strongly recommended. Never leave a child alone, even for short periods. Do not place the baby unit inside the crib or playpen. Do not allow children to play with the baby monitor.
Storage Precautions
Use and store the baby monitor in temperatures between 10°C and 35°C, away from direct sunlight. If the battery appears damaged, discontinue use and contact BEABA customer service. Never use a product with a damaged battery.
Equipment Replacement
Use only the provided battery for the parent unit and only manufacturer-supplied accessories. Use the same type of adapter if replacement is needed.
