Important guidelines for installing your Wi-Fi® Video Baby Monitor

• To use your B aby Unit and Pare nt 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 Baby Unit 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.

• Other 2.4GHz products, such as wireless networks (Wi-Fi systems, microwave ovens or other Baby Monitors, may cause interference with this product, so keep the Baby Monitor at least 5ft (1.5m) away from these types of product, or turn them off if they appear to be causing interference.

• If the signal is weak, try moving the Parent and/or the Baby Unit to different positions in the rooms.

• Always ensure that you have a good Wi-Fi

connection available.
