Important Notes for Installing Baby Monitor
When using your baby monitor, you must ensure that the
devices can establish radio communication. The distance of
communication between the camera and monitor may be
impacted by environmental conditions. Due to the unstable and
constantly changing nature of wireless communication, the
distance and signal quality may fluctuate, which is a normal
occurrence.
Large metal objects, such as refrigerators, metal doors, or
reinforced concrete, may block radio signals between two units.
The strength of the signal may be weakened by solid structures
like walls, as well as radio or electrical equipment such as
televisions and computers.
If the signal is weak, try relocating the device to a different
indoor location or adjusting the monitor's antenna.
Do not place the parent unit and the camera within one meter of
each other, as it may cause howling if the volume is set too high.
When you first receive the product, the parent unit may have a
protective film. You can choose to keep it on or remove it.
