Important guidelines for installing your digital video baby monitor
• To use your Baby Unit and Parent Unit together, you must be able to establish a radio link
between them, and the range will be affected by environmental conditions.
• Any large metal object, like a refrigerator, a mirror, a filing cabinet, a metallic door or
reinforced concrete, between the Baby Unit and Parent Unit may block the radio signal.
• The signal strength may also be reduced by other solid structures, like walls, or by radio
or electrical equipment, such as 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 away at least 5ft (1.5m) from these types of products, or turn them off if
they appear to be causing interference.
• If the signal is poor, try lifting up the Parent Unit Antenna or moving the Parent Unit and/
or the Baby Unit to different positions in the rooms.
