4.1 Camera View - Switching Between Paired Cameras

This function is available when two or more cameras are paired. Use the CAM option in the MENU to switch between the paired cameras. The number of the currently connected camera will be displayed on the top of the LCD screen.

4.2 Automatic Scan (Loop) Mode

In Scan (loop) mode, each paired camera will be displayed on the screen for approximately 10 seconds before automatically switching to the next paired camera. This allows for continuous monitoring of multiple locations.

4.3 Manual Pan & Tilt

The camera unit features manual pan (360 degrees) and tilt (90 degrees) adjustments. This allows you to physically position the camera to achieve the desired viewing angle. For optimal placement, consider tabletop or wall mounting options.

4.4 Volume Control

Adjust the volume of the Parent Unit using the dedicated volume buttons to hear sounds from the Baby Unit clearly.

4.5 Screen On/Off

The Parent Unit allows you to turn off the screen while still maintaining audio monitoring. This is useful for conserving battery or reducing light disturbance during nighttime use.

4.6 Digital Zoom

The Parent Unit supports digital zoom, allowing you to get a closer look at your child. Refer to your V24R monitor's manual for specific zoom controls.

4.7 Two-Way Audio

Utilize the two-way audio feature to speak to your child through the Parent Unit, providing comfort or reassurance from another room.

4.8 Lullabies and White Noise

The Parent Unit offers various lullabies and white noise options that can be played through the Baby Unit to soothe your child. Consult your V24R monitor's manual for selecting and controlling these sounds.

4.9 Temperature Monitoring and Alerts

The Baby Unit includes a temperature sensor that transmits the room temperature to the Parent Unit. You can set alerts for high or low temperature thresholds to ensure your child's comfort.

4.10 VOX Sensitivity

The VOX (Voice Operated eXchange) sensitivity can be adjusted on the Parent Unit. This feature allows the monitor screen to activate and transmit audio only when a certain level of sound is detected in the baby's room, conserving battery life.

4.11 Feeding Timer

A feeding timer can be set on the Parent Unit to remind you of feeding schedules.

5. Maintenance

• Clean the camera lens and monitor screen with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Ensure the camera unit and power adapter are kept dry.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Image/Sound: Ensure both units are powered on and within range. Re-attempt the pairing process.
• Poor Signal: Move the Parent Unit closer to the Baby Unit. Avoid obstructions like thick walls or other electronic devices that may cause interference.
• Night Vision Issues: If night vision appears to cycle between bleached, clear, and dark, ensure the camera lens is clean and there are no direct light sources interfering with the infrared sensors.
• Battery Life: If the Parent Unit's battery life is shorter than expected, ensure it is fully charged before use. Reduce screen brightness or utilize VOX mode to conserve power.
