Overview of Your Baby Unit
Important guidelines for installing your Baby Monitor
• To use your Video Monitor Baby and Parent Units 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 1.5 metres (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.
