TROUBLESHOOTING

Why won't my baby monitor turn on?

• Make sure the monitor is turned on and there is still power left.
• Charge with the included power cable only.
• Check if the charging indicator is on. If not, please switch to another power outlet or change the adapter.

Is a WiFi connection required to set up and use?

• This non-WiFi appliance does not need an internet connection for setup.
• The baby monitor and camera use 2.4GHz radio frequency for transmission.

Why won't my baby monitor connect to the camera?

• Make sure the camera is securely plugged in. Check if the plug and power cord are damaged.
• Make sure the monitor is close to the camera when pairing.
• Check if there are large metallic objects like doors, refrigerators, mirrors that might block signal transmission.
• Check if there are existing 2.4GHz equipment like WiFi networks and microwave ovens that might interfere with signal transmission.
• Press [Menu], select through [+ Add], press the PAIR button on the camera, then the camera will pair with the monitor automatically.

Why does the monitor screen keep switching off when I'm using it?

• You may have the VOX (Voice Activated Alert) mode on so that the screen will only come on when the sound is above the alert level. You can switch this feature off within the menu.
• Press [Menu], select through [Screen Timeout], and press [+/-] to set the desired time for the screen to turn off automatically.

Why is the screen black when I view a camera?

• Make sure the camera is in range and securely plugged in.
• Check if the plug and power cord are damaged.

Why is there no sound from the monitor?

• Check if the video volume is too low. Press the Menu Button, select through [Monitor Volume] and press [+/-] [OK] to set the desired volume level.

• Never immerse in water or other liquids. They are not waterproof.
• Clean with a dry cloth only. Exercise caution when cleaning the camera lens.
• Clean the temperature sensor on the camera with a dry cotton swab on a regular basis.

Why is the temperature shown on the monitor not accurate?

• The temperature sensor is on the camera. Please make sure there is enough air circulation around the sensor.
• Do not place the camera near heat sources, including heaters, air-conditioning vents, and lamps.
• The air at the ceiling is warmer than the air at the floor. Place the camera at a relatively low height to read the temperature more accurately.

Why did the monitor video suddenly turn black and white?

• Power the monitor and camera off and on again, reset the monitor to factory settings, and pair the camera with the monitor again.
• Night vision may have become activated. Turn on the room lights and night vision will turn off automatically.

Why is the screen a bit choppy?

• Make sure the camera is in range.
• Adjust the monitor antenna to improve the signal strength.

My baby monitor makes a noise.

• Microphone feedback might occur when the monitor is too close to the camera. Keep them away from each other.
• Volume is too high. Press the Menu Button, select through [Monitor Volume] and press [+/-] [OK] to lower the volume.
