Important Guidelines for Installing Your Baby Monitor

To use your parent unit and baby unit together, a radio link must be established. The range will be affected by environmental conditions.

Large metal objects, such as refrigerators, mirrors, filing cabinets, metallic doors, or reinforced concrete, between the baby and parent unit may block the radio signal.

Signal strength may also be reduced by solid structures like walls, or by radio or electrical equipment such as TVs, computers, cordless or mobile phones, fluorescent lights, or dimmer switches.

Use of other 2.4GHz products, such as wireless networks (Wi-Fi routers), Bluetooth systems, or microwave ovens, may cause interference. Keep the baby monitor at least 5 feet (1.5m) away from these products, or turn them off if they appear to be causing interference.

If the signal is weak, try moving the parent or baby unit to different positions in the rooms.
