Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent
research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the
interference between portable wireless devices and
implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians
that:
Pacemaker patients
• Should keep wireless devices at least six inches from the
pacemaker.
• Should NOT place wireless devices directly over the
pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned
ON.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with
pacemakers from other persons using wireless devices.

Connect and charge the baby monitor - BM3350N | BM3350N-2
The rechargeable battery in the parent unit is built-in.
Use only the power adapters supplied with this product.
Make sure the baby monitor is not connected to a switch-controlled electric outlet.
Connect the power adapters in a vertical or floor mount position only. The adapters’ prongs are not
designed to hold the weight of baby monitor, so do not connect them to any ceiling, under-the table, or cabinet
outlets. Otherwise, the adapters may not properly connect to the outlets.
Make sure the parent unit, the baby units and the power adapter cords are out of reach of children.
The battery icon indicates the battery status (see the following table).
Before using the baby monitor for the first time, charge the parent unit battery for 12 hours. When the parent
unit battery is fully charged, the battery icon becomes solid .
It takes longer to charge the battery when the parent unit is turned on. To shorten the charging time, turn the
parent unit off while charging.
The standby time varies depending on the sensitivity level you set, your actual use and the age of the battery.
5

Position the baby monitor - BM3350N | BM3350N-2
Keep the baby unit out of the reach of your baby. Never place or mount the baby unit inside the baby’s crib or
playpen.
The default volume of your parent unit is level 3, and the maximum volume is level 5. If you experience high-
pitched screeching noise from your baby monitor while positioning:
- Make sure your baby unit and parent unit are more than 1 metre apart, OR
- Lower the volume of your parent unit.
To avoid interference from other electronic devices, place your baby monitor at least 1 metre away from
devices such as wireless routers, microwaves, cell phones and computers.

Wall-Mount (Optional) - BM3350N | BM3350N-2
Check for reception strength and camera angle before drilling the holes.
The types of screws and anchors you need depend on the composition of the wall. You may need to purchase
the screws and anchors separately to mount your camera units.
1. Place the wall mount bracket on a wall and then use a pencil to mark two holes in parallel. Remove the wall
mount bracket and drill two holes in the wall (7/32 inch drill bit).
2. If you drill the holes into a stud, go to step 3.
If you drill the holes into an object other than a stud, insert the wall anchors into the holes. Tap gently on
the ends with a hammer until the wall anchors are flush with the wall.
3. Insert the screws into the holes and tighten the screws until only 1/4 inch of the screws are exposed.
7

4. Place the camera unit on the wall mount bracket, and then slide it forward until it locks into place. Align the
holes on the wall mount bracket with the screws on the wall, and slide the wall mount bracket down until it
locks into place.
5. You can maximize your camera unit’s viewing angles by tilting the wall mount bracket. Hold the camera unit,
and then rotate the knob in anticlockwise direction. This will loosen the joint of the wall mount bracket. Tilt your
camera unit up or down to adjust to your preferred angle. Then, rotate the knob in clockwise direction to tighten
the joint and secure the angle.v
