Philips SCD 589 Baby Monitor

The Philips SCD 589 baby monitor is packed with features. Some are extremely useful, like near zero interference due to its use of the 1.9 GHz frequency range which was recently reserved by the FCC for exclusive use by voice-only hardware. Some are not as practical but can still provide some wow factor like the ability to play a lullaby to the baby, a night-light and a intercom system so you can talk to the infant controlled all by the hand held unit. A draw back is the method on how to charge the battery for first time use. You have to charge and discharge 4 times over the span of days before first time use. This seems a bit excessive when you have a baby you want to listen for!
