Important guidelines for installing your Baby Monitor

• To use your baby unit and parent unit together, you must be able to establish a radio link
between them, and the range will be affected by environmental conditions.

• Any large metal object, like a refrigerator, a mirror, a filing cabinet, metallic doors or
reinforced concrete, between the baby and parent unit may block the radio signal.

• The signal strength may also be reduced by other 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 wireless products, such as wireless networks, Bluetooth™ systems or
microwave ovens may cause interference with this product, so keep the baby monitor
away from these types of products, or turn them off if they appear to be causing
interference.

• If the signal is poor, try moving the parent and/or the baby unit to different positions in the
rooms.

• It is recommended to place the baby unit about 1.5m from the Cot to ensure sound can
be received and heard.

• It is essential to ensure sufficient clear space around the baby unit.
