DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY AND APRS

This baby monitor employs full digital technology with zero interference.

The unit can automatically select free channel or hop to free channel during
communication to avoid interference from other electronic devices. In addition,
thanks to the Automatic Power Reduction System (APRS) which senses the signal
strength between the baby and parent unit and automatically reduces the emission
power from baby unit when the two units are in close vicinity. The level of radiation
to baby is greatly reduced.
