2. Positioning the Baby Unit

3. Initial Charge

For optimal battery performance, charge the parent unit for at least 12 hours before initial use. The battery icon on the screen will indicate charging status.

4. Secure Connection

The VTech VM320 uses a secured 2.4GHz FHSS transmission, meaning the baby unit and parent unit are pre-paired for a private connection. No Wi-Fi or app pairing is required for operation.
