We just ended up plugging it in next to the bed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-632289 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 20:52:21 +0000 Periwinkle 632289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such a bummer, because it's a great monitor otherwise. Just wish it had a longer battery life! Trying it plugged in tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-630115 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:31:16 +0000 Mrs. Bee 630115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>all monitor batteries suck. we've had several. now our motorola only works if it's plugged in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-630061 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:12:15 +0000 sorrycharlie 630061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah I find it has a crappy battery life, and out of nowhere! it'll seem fully charged and then start beeping red at me. oy.</p> <p>I generally have it downstairs, battery during the day and plugged in over night. she only takes 40m naps, though, so it's not on for long amounts of time unplugged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-629995 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 08:46:29 +0000 Weagle 629995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BelugaBean: Same here. And the cords! All. Over. My. House! Drives me crazy, but he insists that's it's always good to have 1 or 10 extra coax cables on hand :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-629850 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 07:24:13 +0000 BelugaBean 629850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: DH is just like that (electrical engineer, computer nerd) but maybe he's just being cautious with everything. I just go with what he says because honestly, I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to technology most of the time. There have been times he's pressed something on the remote and I can't get the TV on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-629818 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:58:05 +0000 Weagle 629818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BelugaBean: FWIW, my electrical engineer, computer nerd DH would say you're right ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-629811 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:54:30 +0000 BelugaBean 629811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: I think he's mainly told me that about our phones and computers. He tells me that's why my phone dies a lot quicker than his does. I tell him it's because I use it a lot to take pictures of LO during the day or to send emails. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-629808 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:52:48 +0000 Weagle 629808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We charge it every night, but it's pretty low after a day of use. @BelugaBean: It depends on the type of battery. Lithium batteries don't have to be run down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-629778 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:19:15 +0000 BelugaBean 629778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours doesn't last that long so it just stays in all night. </p> <p>@CarrieLouWho: DH is all about technology and he always tells me that you're supposed to let a battery get as close to dying as possible before charging to help the battery last longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-629773 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:11:05 +0000 CarrieLouWho 629773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same, plugged in at night. Sometimes I'll leave it on and unplugged to wear the battery down (read that somewhere a million years ago that it helps battery life, but it's probably a wives tale :)) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-629660 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 00:26:32 +0000 pl0508 629660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same :( it stays plugged in at night </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-629635 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 00:09:04 +0000 PrincessBaby 629635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, it's totally annoying...I just leave it plugged in at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-629580 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 23:37:04 +0000 rrachael 629580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same! I leave it plugged in by my bed ... or wherever I am around the house :) ... and only unplug it when I'm walking around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-629528 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 22:47:03 +0000 Maysprout 629528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lasts about the same.<br /> We had a levana monitor before this and it lasted about an hour maybe off that battery so I was happy that the motorla lasted all night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-629501 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 22:24:24 +0000 wheres_c 629501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same. We leave it plugged in next to the bed too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-629491 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 22:20:53 +0000 skibobrown 629491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah. We leave the video monitor plugged in next to our bed, so it's not an issue. We only have it unplugged when we want to have it out around the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-629484 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 22:19:09 +0000 MamaMoose 629484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup only 1 night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-629474 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 22:14:50 +0000 mrsjyw 629474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same. Doesn't last long which is annoying </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-motorola-monitor-users-out-there#post-629426 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 21:51:30 +0000 Periwinkle 629426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long does your battery last? Ours seems to only last one night at a time (with the video screen turned off most of the time) and I'm not sure if that's normal or not? If I use it for bits and pieces of time, turning it on and off, it seems to last even less. </p> <p>Yours? </p>
