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.
• If the signal is poor, try moving the parent unit and/or the baby unit to
different positions in the rooms.
