Maintenance
Cleaning
Wipe both the Parent Unit and Baby Unit with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents. Avoid getting moisture into any openings.
Battery Care (Parent Unit)
To prolong battery life, fully charge the Parent Unit before its first use. If storing the unit for an extended period, charge it periodically to prevent deep discharge.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No image/sound on Parent Unit | Units are not powered on or not connected. | Ensure both units are powered on and connected to their respective power adapters. Check if the Parent Unit battery is charged. |
| Poor signal/Interference | Units are too far apart or obstructions are present. | Move the Parent Unit closer to the Baby Unit. Reduce obstacles like thick walls or other electronic devices. |
| VOX mode not activating | VOX sensitivity is set too low. | Increase the VOX sensitivity level in the Parent Unit settings. |
| Parent Unit battery drains quickly | Continuous screen-on time or aging battery. | Use VOX mode to conserve battery. Ensure the battery is fully charged. Battery life naturally decreases over time. |
| Temperature reading seems inaccurate | Camera placed near a heat source or draft. | Relocate the Baby Unit away from direct heat, cold drafts, or direct sunlight. |
