• Battery Care: For the parent unit's rechargeable battery, avoid extreme temperatures. If storing the unit for an extended period, charge the battery periodically to maintain its life.
• Placement: Ensure both units are placed on stable, flat surfaces. Avoid placing them near heat sources, direct sunlight, or moisture.
• Cable Management: Keep power cords out of reach of children to prevent strangulation hazards.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Motorola MBP854CONNECT, try the following solutions:

• No Picture/Sound on Parent Unit:
  • Ensure both the parent unit and baby unit are powered on and connected to their respective power adapters.
  • Check the battery level of the parent unit.
  • Move the parent unit closer to the baby unit to improve signal strength. Obstructions can reduce range.
• Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues:
  • Ensure your home Wi-Fi network is active and the signal is strong where the baby unit is placed.
  • Restart your Wi-Fi router, the baby unit, and your viewing device.
  • Verify that the Hubble app is updated to the latest version.
  • If initial setup failed, try re-pairing the camera through the Hubble app.
• Poor Video Quality/Lag:
  • Ensure you have a stable and sufficient internet connection for remote viewing.
  • Reduce interference by moving other 2.4GHz devices away from the baby unit.
• Remote Pan/Tilt Functionality is Clunky: This can sometimes be due to network latency. Ensure a strong Wi-Fi signal and try again.
• Parent Unit Losing Connection: This may indicate being out of range or interference. Try moving the parent unit closer to the baby unit or away from other electronic devices.
