Sound activated screen and audio: When this feature is enabled, the parent unit screen remains off to conserve power until a sound exceeding the set sensitivity level is detected. The screen and speaker will then turn on and off automatically after a period of no sound.

Note: If the parent unit speaker is muted, only the screen will activate upon sound detection.

If Sound activation is off, you will continuously hear sounds from the baby unit, even with the parent unit screen off.
