Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| No link/Connection lost | Ensure both units are powered on and within range (up to 1,000 ft). Move the Parent Unit closer to the Baby Unit. Check for obstructions or interference. |
| No picture/Screen is black | Check if the Baby Unit is powered on. Ensure the Parent Unit's screen is not turned off (press the LCD OFF button). Adjust screen brightness in the menu. |
| Poor sound quality/Interference | Move the units closer together. Ensure no other 2.4GHz devices are causing interference. Adjust the volume on the Parent Unit. |
| Battery drains quickly | Ensure the Parent Unit is fully charged before use. Reduce screen brightness or set a screen-off timer. Battery life naturally degrades over time. |
