Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| No picture/sound on Parent Unit. | Ensure both Parent and Baby Units are powered on and within range. Check battery levels and power connections. Re-sync units if necessary. |
| Poor reception or static. | Move Parent Unit closer to Baby Unit. Avoid placing units near other electronic devices that may cause interference (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, microwaves). |
