If you choose to operate the receiver on batteries, you can still operate the camera with the AC adapter. For long periods of non-use, we suggest removing the batteries and unplugging the AC adapters. For AC Power Insert an AC adapter into the jack marked 9V DC on each unit and plug the adapter into an electrical outlet. When using an AC adapter, we suggest you also keep batteries in at all times as the units will automatically convert from AC to battery power during a power outage. However, if you do not keep batteries in the units, the monitor will operate on just AC power. IMPORTANT: You can only use rechargeable batteries in the receiver. You can use either rechargeable or alkaline batteries in the camera. For Battery Power The camera requires six AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries for battery operation. Rechargeable batteries can be used in the camera, however, batteries will NOT be recharged in the camera when using the AC adapter. If you are using rechargeable batteries, they will have to be removed and recharged by an external charger. The receiver requires five AA rechargeable batteries for battery operation. These batteries WILL be recharged in the receiver when using the AC adapter. DO NOT use alkaline batteries in the receiver. Remove the battery covers with a screwdriver. Insert six AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries
(not included) into the camera and five AA rechargeable batteries (included) in the receiver matching positive (+) to positive (+) and negative (-) to negative (-). Replace the battery covers. Remember, if you use rechargeable batteries in the camera, you will need to recharge them with an external charger. 5 Charge the rechargeable batteries in the receiver for at least eight hours before using it on battery power for the first time. This can be done while operating the receiver on AC power or when the receiver is turned off. Charge the batteries by plugging the AC adapter directly into the receiver. The battery life is approximately six to eight hours in the camera and receiver. Replace the batteries in the camera when the Power Indicator Light turns orange.
