Overview of Your Baby Unit (Camera)
Important guidelines for installing your Baby Monitor
• To use your Video Monitor Baby and the Parent Unit together, you must be
able to establish a radio link between them, and the range may be affected
by environmental conditions.
• Any large metal object, like a refrigerator, a mirror, a filing cabinet, metallic
doors or reinforced concrete between the Baby and Parent Units may block
the radio signal.
• The signal strength may also be reduced by other solid structures, like walls
or electrical equipment, such as radios, TVs, computers, cordless or mobile
phones, fluorescent lights or dimmer switches.
• Use of other 2.4 GHz products, such as wireless networks (Wi-Fi®routers),
Bluetooth®systems, or microwave ovens, may cause interference with this
product, so keep the Baby Monitor at least 5 feet from these types of
products, or turn them off if they appear to be causing interference.
• If the signal is weak, try moving the Parent and/or the Baby Unit to different
positions in the rooms.
