PROBLEM

You can hear conversations or
sounds from other homes. There
is signal interference due to other
nursery monitors on same channel
or cordless telephones.

SOLUTION

Change channel switches on both trans­mitter and receiver to eliminate source
of interference.

Helpful Hints:

- Do not use more than one transmitter
and one receiver at same time in same
household.

- Always remember that you are using
public airwaves when using your moni­tor. Conversations, even from rooms
near transmitter, may broadcast to other
nursery monitors, radios, cordless tele­phones, or scanners outside your home.
To protect privacy of your home, always
turn transmitter off when not in use.

You hear static or buzzing because receiver is out
of range of transmitter.

Note: Range varies depending on surrounding
conditions such as noise levels, physical obstructions
and signal interference.

Move receiver closer to transmitter.

Helpful Hint:

- If you cannot hear your child and all five bars do not light, your
receiver battery is weak. Replace receiver battery with a fresh,
9V alkaline battery or use AC adaptor for power source.

IMPORTANT!

• This product is not intended to be used as a medical monitor
and its use should not replace adult supervision.

• Test sound reception of receiver before first-time use and
whenever you change location of transmitter.

• To prevent entanglement:

- Never place transmitter in a crib or playpen. Keep transmitter

and receiver out of baby’s reach.

- Never use extension cords with the AC adaptors.

• Never use transmitter or receiver near water (ie.: bathtub, sink,
laundry tub or wet basement, etc.).

• Always use transmitter and receiver where there is adequate
ventilation. To prevent overheating, keep transmitter and receiver
away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, direct sun­light, stoves, amplifiers, or other appliances which produce heat.
