The baby unit powers automatically when connected to a power source. The parent unit is pre-paired with the baby unit, so no additional setup is required. To charge, connect the USB-C cable to the parent unit and adapter. Always keep the baby unit connected to power.
Note: A USB-C cable is included for the parent unit. To power and charge the parent unit, a power adapter rated at least 1.0 A is recommended. For faster charging, a power adapter rated at 2.0 A or higher is recommended.
If you need to re-pair the baby unit and parent unit, see “I need to re-pair the baby unit and parent unit of my Philips Avent Video Baby Monitor.”
