6 Troubleshooting

Warning
• Risk of electric shock. Never remove the casing of the
monitor.
To keep the warranty valid, never try to repair
the monitor yourself.
If you have problems using this monitor, check the following points before you request service. If you still have a problem, register your monitor
and get support at www.philips.com/support.
Cannot connect the monitor to a Wi-Fi network (the monitor light is blinking amber or green).
If the monitor blinks amber, you can set-up
the monitor again - please repeat '4 – Set­up' of this user manual.
If the monitor still does not work or is blinking green or amber, you may need to
reset the monitor by pressing the reset
button with a thin object (i.e. paper clip) on the back of the monitor, press and hold the thin object for 3-5 seconds. After that,
repeat '4 – Set-up' of this user manual.
Philips In.Sight supports general WEP, WPA
and WPA2. Philips recommends using WPA or WPA2 as these are the safest Wi-Fi security settings. The Philips In.Sight does
not support WEP Sub Key 2, 3 , 4. Please
change your router settings to WPA or
WPA2 if you are not able to connect, refer
to your router’s user manual.
To improve wireless performance, avoid
using a Wi-Fi channel that is heavily used
(e.g. channel 11) or overlapped with a
nearby other Wi-Fi network.
Keep away from potential sources of interference which may affect Wi-Fi signal,
such as microwave ovens.
Unlike legacy solutions, In.Sight does not require port forwarding. There is
no risk from leaving ports open on the
9EN
network. In.Sight uses secure peer to peer networking solution which provides a
secure, encrypted connection each time
your camera is viewed from a remote location. To learn more about secure
connectivity with Philips In.Sight, visit http://
www.yoics.com. This method of networking will work with most standard router settings and is also typically compatible with most anti-virus and internet security programs. On-line test diagnostic is available to determine if your network is compatible with these modern internet
applications: http://www.yoics.com/

in ‘ Settings’ .

Video streaming is slow or has a delay.
The speed of login and getting the video feed from the monitor highly depends on the speed of the connection you are using.
The Internet speed either from your Wi-Fi network or 3G/Edge highly inuences the
performance of the App. The faster the
connection speed, the faster you can see
the video from the Monitor.
Philips recommends high-speed Internet connection of 800kbps upload speed or above for your Wi-Fi router.
When on a remote network (either another Wi-Fi network or on 3G), I can only watch for 5 minutes.
When on a remote network – either Wi-Fi or on 3G, you can only watch 5 minutes
per session. You have unlimited sessions
per day. If you want to watch longer per
session, in-app upgrades are available. Go to ‘ Settings’ – ‘GENERAL (General)’ and select ‘In.Sight Account (In.Sight Account)’.
When you are on your local Wi-Fi network, you have unlimited viewing time.
I can only share to 2 friends, how can I share to more friends?
When you want to share to more than 2 friends, in-app upgrades are available. Go to ‘ Settings’ – ‘GENERAL (General)’ and select ‘In.Sight Account (In.Sight Account)’.
