Important guidelines for installing your Baby Monitor

• To use your camera 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, a metallic door or reinforced concrete, between the
camera 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.

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