3. Installation Guidelines

To use the parent unit and camera 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 other solid structures, such as walls, or by radio or electrical equipment like 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 5ft (1.5m) away from such products, or turn them off if they cause interference.

4. Placement of the Baby Monitor

The camera can be placed on a desktop or mounted on a wall. Do not place the baby monitor on soft quilts or blankets, or in the corners of cupboards, shelves, etc. Keep the baby monitor away from heat sources such as radiators, chimneys, cookers, and direct sunlight. Keep the baby unit away from TV sets, microwave ovens, and radios. If interference occurs, move the camera elsewhere.

Place the camera within 6 feet (2 meters) of the area being monitored for optimum performance.
