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
will be aected 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 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 1 metre from these types of products, or turn them o if they
appear to be causing interference.
• If the signal is weak, try moving the Parent and/or the Baby Unit
to dierent positions in the room(s).
