4. Setup Guide
4.1. Charging the Units
Before first use, fully charge both the parent unit and the child unit. Connect the provided power adapters to each unit and plug them into a power outlet. The charging indicator on the parent unit will show its charging status.
4.2. Positioning the Camera (Child Unit)
Place the child unit in a location that provides a clear view of your baby, such as on a flat surface near the crib or mounted on a wall. Ensure it is at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from the baby to prevent entanglement with the power cord. The camera features multi-angle setting for optimal positioning.
