Important guidelines for installing your Pet Monitor
• To use your Video Monitor Pet and Owner Units 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, metallic
doors or reinforced concrete between the Pet and Owner 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 pet 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 weak, try moving the Owner and/or the Pet Unit to different
positions in the rooms.
