3.5 Positioning and operating range
3.5.1 Position the audio monitor
Place the parent unit within the operating range of the baby unit. We
recommend the parent unit is at least 1.5 metres away from the baby
unit to avoid audio feedback. If you still experience audio feedback,
move the parent unit and the baby unit farther apart.
NOTES
If the signal is poor, try moving the parent and/or the baby unit to different
positions in the rooms.
It is the caregiver’s responsibility to stay close enough to take care of any
eventuality.
3.5.2 Test your audio monitor before use
It is important to test the audio monitor when it is installed initially, and at
regular times thereafter. Test your parent unit and baby units if they have
not been used for a long time or you suspect they are defective.
To test your audio monitor:
Place the parent unit and the baby unit in the same room to test the
product. Make sure the baby unit is at least 1.5 metres away from
the parent unit.
Press and hold on the baby unit until the Power indicator light
turns on.
Press and hold on the parent unit until the Power indicator turns
on steadily. The parent unit plays sound detected from the baby unit.
Your audio monitor is now ready for use.
Note
If no connection can be established, the Power indicator light on the parent unit
ashes in green.
