4.1. Charging the Parent Unit

4.2. Positioning the Camera Unit(s)
Place the camera unit(s) in a location that provides a clear view of the area you wish to monitor. Ensure the camera is at a safe distance from the monitored individual and out of reach. The camera units can be placed on a flat surface or mounted to a wall using the provided wall-mounting kit. Connect each camera unit to a power adapter and plug it into a power outlet.
4.3. Powering On the System

5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Basic Monitoring
Once powered on, the parent unit displays live video from the connected camera. You can hear audio from the camera's location. Use the navigation buttons on the parent unit to adjust settings or switch between cameras if multiple are connected.
5.2. VOX Mode (ECO Mode)
VOX mode conserves battery by turning off the parent unit's screen when no sound is detected from the camera unit. The screen will automatically reactivate when sound is detected, such as a baby crying.
