14.0 FCC STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Label Compliance Statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Note: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference
caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such
modifications could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
13.0 CARE AND MAINTENANCE

moisture can form inside the units, which may damage electronic circuitry.
Do not attempt to open the case. Non-expert handling of the device may damage the system
and will void the guarantee.
Avoid dropping the units or any shocks.
Operate this product using only the power adapters supplied.
Do not overload electrical outlets/extension cords as this can result in fire or electric shocks.
WARNING:
Do remember that you are using public airwaves when you use the system and that
sound and video may be broadcast to other 2.4 GHz receiving devices.
Images & conversations, even from rooms near the camera, may be broadcast. To
protect the privacy of your home, always turn the camera off when not in use.

please consult a qualified person for ascertaining the cor rect fixing to be used.
Note 3: The approximate maximum transmission range is 300 feet (clear line of site),
however the actual transmission distance will be dependant on the number and type of
walls/ceilings/constructions and other obstacles that may reduce the transmission range.

7.0 ADDITIONAL FACILITIES
7.1 Recording on a VCR (See Fig. 11)
7.2 Additional Cameras
The Parent unit has a AV (audio/video) output jack for connecting to a VCR/TV for
recording/viewing.
Connect the mini plug of the provided AV cable to the AV jack on the rear of the
Parent unit.
Connect the other end of the AV cable to the Scart connector on the VCR/TV, usually
labelled LINE IN.
This unit has the added facility of catering for two additional cameras. These cameras can
be purchased as separate accessories. Both indoor and outdoor cameras are available
directly from Electramax. Whilst camera 1 is viewing your baby in the nursery, cameras 2
or 3 could be used either as a security device (ie installed outside your front door/side
entrance) or alternatively for monitoring separate rooms. Each location can be viewed by
changing the channel number on the Parent Unit to channels 1, 2 or 3.
You will be pleased to know that you can also view your baby on your television screen
as well as record your baby on a VCR (via the Parent Unit) so you don’t miss those
special moments. If your television has a picture in picture facility, you can constantly
view your baby at the same time as watching your favourite programme.
6.1 Power Supply
The monitor uses either 4 x AA-Size batteries (use alkaline battery only) or the
