Q: Baby Monitor

A: This comes with a charger.

Q: I am very hearing impaired. Does this also vibrate?

A: Lin - Yes, the VTech DM221 has vibration alert. The parent unit will vibrate whenever the baby unit detects loud sounds. Thank you for your interest! ~VTech Support

Q: Could I use this model for toddler to call me when he wants me

A: Hey, yes you can. The non-parent end is a continuous microphone that the toddler could just speak into and you would hear them out the other end.

Q: Can I use this in a retirement home to talk through a window to my mother during the COVID-19 Pandemic?

A: I would say yes. I have this for my child but when I got a job sitting with an elderly lady I decided to take it with me so that if I was in the laundry room (which was in her garage) or wanted to walk outside and still hear her if she called for me. It was sooo much more convenient on the days that she just needed to know someone was there. She had Alzheimer’s and so sometimes would forget and it was better to be able to say “I am washing be there in 5” rather than her just screaming and being worried if anyone was even there or not. Assuming the range it reached I would say absolutely it would work thru a window. One monitor doesn’t have to have a button pressed it always transmits sound to the other and the parent one has a button on the side you press when talking as long as you are okay with that I say this would be perfect!

Q: What is the barrel plug size of the charger? I’m traveling so can’t measure. It looks like around 3.0mm OD, 2.0mm ID, 5.5mm long.

A: Hi - Here's the specific of the AC adapter of the VTech DM221 - AC100-240V;DC5V;800MA;SMPS;2000MM;WHITE;;LEVEL VI;1.35X3.5X7.9 L PLUG. Thank you, -VTech Support

Q: Hello.I just buy VTech DM221-2 Safe Sound Digital Audio Baby Monitor from ebay. Is brand new but i cant link the parents monitors with baby unit. A message appears on parents screen "not linked". I tried almost everything. Can you help please.

A: I had to have the parent monitor "on" to link them. They also have to be in range. In my small house, the "parent" monitor is a floor below and diagonal across the house from the "upstairs" monitor. There is also a metal beam running thru the house between floors, but they link up. You could put the monitor and "parent" close to each other to test them. That is what we did, and maybe that helped them "find" each other later on.

Q: Will it work between 2 Mobil homes wit aluminum siding

A: Hi - The operating range of the VTech DM221 varies and is dependent on the environmental conditions and the time of use. We recommend you place the unit in an open location for optimum range and better reception. Thank you, -VTech Support
