How do I charge the battery of my VTech DM221-2 parent unit?

[Bo]

Charging the parent unit battery for your VTech DM221-2 Digital Audio Monitor is straightforward. First, make sure you have the rechargeable battery installed in the parent unit. The parent unit is designed to work with both battery and AC power, so using both simultaneously ensures continuous monitoring. If you need to replace the battery, disconnect the old battery from its socket and remove it. Install the new battery, following the same connection steps. Next, connect the parent unit to a power outlet using the power adapter that came with your monitor. Avoid using outlets controlled by a switch. When you plug in the parent unit and the battery is installed, the device should power on automatically, and the battery icon will show the charging status. For the initial charge or after a power outage, allow approximately 11 hours of continuous charging for a full charge. Charging may take longer if the parent unit is on. To speed up charging, turn the parent unit off while it charges. Remember that the standby time will vary depending on your usage, sensitivity settings, and the age of the battery. Following these steps will keep your VTech DM221-2 parent unit ready for use.
