Problems & Solutions
PROBLEM
You can hear conversations or sounds from other homes.
“Did you read
about…”
16
“That’s gotta
be coming from
next door…”

There is signal interference due to other nursery monitors on same
channel or cordless telephone use. Change channel switches on
both transmitter and remote control receiver to eliminate source
of interference.
SOLUTION
Hints:
- Do not use more than one transmitter and one receiver at same time
in same household.
- Always remember that you are using public airwaves when using
your monitor. Conversations, even from rooms near transmitter, may
broadcast to other nursery monitors, radios, cordless telephones, or
scanners outside your home.To protect privacy of your home, always
turn transmitter off when not in use.

“I better get

Problems & Solutions
PROBLEM SOLUTION
You hear static or buzzing because
remote control receiver is out of
range of transmitter.
Move remote control receiver
closer to transmitter.
Note: Range varies depending
on surrounding conditions such
as noise levels, physical obstruc-
tions and signal interference.
Hint: If you cannot hear your child and all four dots do not light, your remote
control receiver battery is weak. Replace remote control receiver battery with
a fresh, 9V alkaline battery or use AC adaptor for power source.
