millimeters.
Slide the foot of the baby unit over the screws
and then press the baby unit a little down-
wards.
Tips for placement:
• For use as a baby monitor: place the baby unit at least 2 meters
away from your baby and make sure to safely tuck away the adap-
ter cable.

possible, free from large metal surfaces.
