Care and Maintenance
1. The Baby Monitor is for indoor use only. Do not place the Baby Unit
under direct sunlight. Outdoor use may damage the Baby & Parents
Units.
2. Clean the outer surface of Baby & Parent Units with a cloth dampened
with water or mild cleaning solution LIGHTLY. Do not immerse any part
of the product in water.
3. Do not drop the product or physically damage it, otherwise electronic
components may be affected by such abuse.
Caution:
1. Always remember that you are using public airwaves when you use the
Baby Monitor. Sound and video may be broadcasted to other
receiving devices. Conversations, even from rooms near the Baby
Unit may be broadcasted as well. To protect your privacy, always turn
the Baby Unit off when not in use.
2. It is possible for the Parents Unit to pick up sounds or display
interference from other signal producing devices including other audio
or video monitors which broadcast in the 2.4GHz range. To minimize
this potential problem, 4 independent channels are available for your use.
3. If the Parents Unit experiences interference, simply switch both the
Baby & Parents Units to another channel. Selecting a channel is
usually a one-time adjustment. If interference persists on all channels,
please refer to the Troubleshooting Section.
Testing
It is very important to test the transmission of Baby Unit and reception of
Parents Unit before use or whenever you change the location of either
Parents / Baby Units.
1. Place Baby Unit in room where you intend to use it. Position it in the
most appropriate location for monitoring the baby (on top of a table,
dresser, or on the wall). Turn on the Baby Unit by switching the ON /
OFF switch to ON.
2. Direct the camera lens towards the area you want to see on the Parents
Unit screen. While testing, it may be helpful to place an object, such as
a doll or stuffed animal, in the area you want to monitor.

24
3. Place the Parents Unit in different locations you intend to use inside the
house. As with any audio equipment, feedback or a high pitched
sound may occur if the Parents & Baby Units are too close to each
other.
4. Set both units into the same channel.
To test video reception quality
5. Check the video reception on the Parents Unit screen. Make sure you
check the reception in all areas you intend to use both units.
6. To adjust Brightness, Contrast, or Color, please refer to the Operation
Section.
7. The Baby Unit will automatically switch to night vision mode when it is
placed in a completely darkened room. In night vision mode, the
picture will be black and white.
To test sound reception quality
8. Stay in the room with the Baby Unit, speak in both a whisper and a
normal conversation level from where the child is being monitored.
During sound testing, keep in mind the sound level of your child and test
accordingly.
9. Keep the Baby Unit far enough away from the Parents Unit to prevent
feedback noise. Place the Baby Unit in a different room than the
Parents Unit is sufficient.
Baby Unit Location & Set-up
You can position and adjust camera in different ways to provide the best
view of your baby. The Baby Unit can be easily mounted on wall, or simply
placed on a stable, flat surface, such as a dresser, table top or shelving unit.
IMPORTANT: Once you have selected a location for mounting, test the
reception of the Baby Monitor BEFORE installing any wall mount screws. If
interference or other problems occur, please refer to the Troubleshooting
Section.
WARNING:
In selecting a location to mount the Baby Unit, keep the following in mind:
- To prevent entanglement, only mount the Baby Unit at where its AC
adaptor cord is OUT OF CHILD'S REACH.

25
- To prevent entanglement and overheating, only mount the Baby Unit at
where the AC adaptor cord can reach a standard wall outlet. Unwrap
and fully extend the AC adaptor cord. NEVER use an extension cord.
- For best viewing, position the Baby Unit approximately 3' (1m) away from
the child.
- Mount the Baby Unit in a location where the camera lens is unobstructed.
Use the tilt and swivel adjustments to properly aim the camera.
- Allow adequate ventilation of the Baby Unit when mounted on a wall. DO
NOT mount it directly above heating vents, other heat generating sources
or in direct sunlight.
