7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your SMONET Baby Monitor, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No image/signal on monitor | Camera not powered on or out of range; monitor battery low; cameras not paired. | Ensure cameras are plugged in and powered. Move monitor closer to cameras. Recharge monitor. Re-pair cameras via menu settings (refer to manual for specific steps). |
| Poor image quality/freezing | Interference from other devices; camera lens dirty; low light conditions. | Move monitor/cameras away from other electronic devices. Clean camera lens. Ensure adequate lighting for optimal color image (night vision will activate in darkness). |
| No sound or poor audio quality | Monitor volume too low; camera microphone blocked; interference. | Increase monitor volume. Ensure nothing is obstructing the camera's microphone. Reduce interference by moving devices. |
| Monitor battery drains quickly | Screen always on; VOX sensitivity too high; aging battery. | Use VOX mode to turn off the screen when quiet. Reduce screen brightness. Keep monitor plugged in for extended use. Battery life naturally degrades over time. |
| Camera disconnects frequently | Out of range; interference; power supply issue. | Move camera closer to the monitor. Check for strong interference sources. Ensure camera power adapter is securely connected and functioning. |
| Monitor restarts unexpectedly / "Saving Data" message | Software glitch; power instability. | Perform a factory reset (check menu for option). Ensure stable power supply.
