I got an email about this from Amazon. I'm copying the info here in case someone else has one of these monitors. The rechargeable batteries in the handheld monitor might overheat and explode. It says to remove the battery and contact the company for a replacement battery and use the power cord/stand for the monitor in the mean time.
I got one as a shower gift and the battery wouldn't work out of the box. I returned it and went with another brand. Nice to know there was actually something wrong. I was half thinking I just didn't know what I was doing! Haha.
