Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips Avent! To benet
fully from the support that Philips Avent offers, register your product at
www.philips.com/welcome.
The uGrow Smart Baby Monitor uses new SafeConnect Technology to
work across networks. It automatically adjusts to the network conditions
to maintain a high-quality constant connection to your baby. It continuously
seeks to reconnect if connection drops. Bandwidth usage has been
optimised so that it does not drain the battery of your mobile device
unnecessarily. It even works when you use your phone for other things.
The uGrow Smart Baby Monitor requires Internet connection and
WiFi. A good Internet connection and WiFi are essential to get the best
performance of your uGrow Smart Baby Monitor. A lower quality Internet
connection and WiFi can reduce the quality of the connection between
the uGrow app and baby monitor. It is compatible with iOS 7 or higher,
or Android 4.1 or higher. It has all the support features you expect of a
baby monitor, including lullabies, multi-colour nightlight, and humidity and
temperature monitoring.

monitor only works on a 2.4 GHz WiFi network.
2 Enter the WiFi password.
ENGLISH 7
3 As instructed by the app, hold the WiFi QR code on the screen of
your smartphone or tablet at a distance of around 20 cm in front of
the baby monitor lens. Slowly move the smartphone or tablet closer
or further away from the lens to ensure the WiFi QR is read properly.
When the baby monitor has read the WiFi QR code, it plays a short
tune and the WiFi status light starts to ash green.
4 Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup procedure.

monitor’ and ‘Let me see my baby’.
8 If you choose the rst option, you can follow the on-screen
instructions to mount the baby monitor on the wall (see chapter
‘Mounting the baby monitor on the wall’). At the end of the on-screen
instructions you can choose ‘Let me see my baby’.
Mounting the baby monitor on the wall
The baby monitor comes with a wall mounting bracket. Before you mount
the baby monitor on the wall, make sure there is a good WiFi signal at the
point where you want to mount the baby monitor. Follow the instructions
below to fasten the wall mounting bracket to the wall and to attach the
baby monitor onto the wall mounting bracket.
1 Use a pencil to put a cross on the wall at the place where you want to
mount the baby monitor.
2 Hold the wall mounting bracket to the wall. Make sure that one of the
holes is right over the cross that you put on the wall at step 1.
Note: Make sure that the ring of the wall mounting bracket slants downward
when you hold it to the wall. If the ring of the wall mounting bracket slants
upward, turn the wall mounting bracket the other way around so that it is in
the correct position.
ENGLISH8
3 Use a pencil to mark the other screw hole on the wall.
4 Drill 2 holes in the wall at the marks.
5 Use 2 screws to fasten the wall mounting bracket to the wall.
Tighten the screws with a screwdriver.
6 Pass the humidity and temperature sensor unit through the hole in
the wall mounting bracket. Then align the slots in the foot of the baby
monitor with the projections on the ring. Fit the groove in the foot of
the baby monitor onto the raised edge on the inside of the ring.

Guest viewers and accounts
Inviting guests and a second admin
You can invite up to nine relatives or friends as guests and allow them to
watch your baby on their smartphone or tablet. You can invite one of these
guests to act as second admin. A second admin has the same rights as the
rst admin. Guests only have viewing rights and these rights are controlled
by the admin(s). Just like a guest, an admin has viewing rights.
On top of that, the admin has the right to invite guests, to give them
access, to remove their access and to disconnect them. The admin can also
deactivate his or her account and thereby disassociate the guests from the
baby monitor.
1 In the left tray, tap on the settings icon next to the baby monitor.
2 Scroll down and tap ‘Add new user’.
3 Add a guest’s email address and his or her role (admin or guest).
4 The app sends an email to the person invited and you see a
notication pop up that an email has been sent.
5 The guest receives an email with an invitation code that is only valid
for a limited period. The email also contains a link to the App Store.
The guest can click this link to install the app.
6 After installing the app, the guest creates an account by following the
instructions in the app.
ENGLISH 17
7 The guest selects the ‘Connect to a shared baby monitor’ option
during the setup process. This opens the page on which the invitation
is validated.
8 The guest enters the invitation code, his email address and conrms.
The code and the email address are checked.
9 The admin receives an email that conrms that the guest has been
connected to the baby monitor and that the admin can now grant
the guest access.
10 When the admin has granted the guest access, the guest can view
the baby.
- When one or more people watch the baby, the red viewing indicator
lights up red.
Note: Although up to ten people (eight or nine guests and one or two admins)
have viewing rights to the same baby monitor, only three people can watch
the baby at the same time. If guests try to access the baby monitor while
three viewers are already watching, they will receive the message ‘Too many
connections’. Admins can always override the access of the guests if they want
to watch the baby.
Giving and removing access
Users with admin rights can determine who can watch the baby.
1 To remove access for a guest viewer, go to the right tray, tap the
guest whose access you want to remove and tap the eye icon next
to the guest’s name.
Tip: If there are already three people watching your baby and you want to give
someone, e.g. the babysitter, access to the baby monitor, you can remove access
for one of the current viewers and give someone else access instead.
2 To give a guest viewer access, go to the right tray, tap the guest you
want to give access and tap the eye icon next to the guest’s icon.
3 If you want to remove access for all viewers simultaneously, tap the
privacy mode button. This will deny everyone except yourself access
to the baby monitor until you tap the privacy mode button again.
Tip: You can use the privacy mode button to have a moment of privacy with
your baby, e.g. to breastfeed or bathe the baby or to change its nappy.
The guests who try to access the baby monitor receive an on-screen notication.
ENGLISH18
Account management
Disconnecting a guest
To disconnect guest users from the app permanently, you have to
remove them from the list of guests. A guest may also disconnect himself
permanently from the app.
Deactivating your user account
If there is only one admin and this admin deactivates his or her account,
all the accounts of guest users are disassociated from the baby monitor,
although the accounts continue to exist. If there are two admins, both
admins have to deactivate their accounts to disassociate all accounts. If only
one of the two admins deactivates his or her account, the guests remain
connected to the baby monitor.
If you want to transfer the baby monitor to someone else, if you lose the
baby monitor or if the baby monitor is stolen, we advise you to deactivate
the admin account or accounts. This is essential to protect you and your
baby’s privacy.
1 To deactivate your account, go to the left tray and tap on
‘My account’.
2 Tap on ‘Deactivate account’.
3 A pop-up window appears that asks you to conrm that you wish to
deactivate your account.
4 When you tap on ‘Deactivate’, a pop-up window conrms that your
account has been deactivated.
Adding or removing baby monitors
You can add up to ten baby monitors in the app. This allows you to
monitor more children or the same child in more rooms. You may, for
instance, want to install a monitor over the baby’s cot in the baby room
and over its playpen in the living room. You have to connect the baby
monitors to the app one by one.
ENGLISH 19
1 Go to ‘My account’ in the left tray.
2 You will see the list of baby monitors connected. Tap on ‘Add baby
monitor’.
3 Follow the instructions in chapter ‘First-time setup’ in this user
manual to connect the baby monitor to the app.
General app use
Video and audio quality optimisation
The quality of the video and audio on your smart device may change
over time, depending on the available bandwidth of your connection to
Internet. Using a WiFi connection typically gives the best results, while 4G
and 3G may offer less bandwidth and deliver reduced quality. The app will
automatically offer you the best possible experience, by matching the video
and audio quality to the bandwidth available.
Matching takes place in steps:
1 Large bandwidth: good video and audio quality, with text notications.
2 Reduced bandwidth (such as when using 3G): reduced video quality;
good audio quality, with text notications.
3 Small bandwidth (such as when using 2G): only an audio link will be
available, with text notications
4 Very small bandwidth: only text notications are available
ENGLISH20
WiFi connection to the Internet
You get the best results if you connect your smart device to the Internet
via WiFi. It will then automatically use the WiFi network to link to your baby
monitor. When there is no WiFi connection to the Internet, your smart
device switches to its 3G or 4G mobile data connection. Use of this data
connection may involve extra charges from your provider, depending on
your subscription. A video connection typically requires 0.1 to 0.25 MB of
data per second. An audio connection requires 0.01 MB of data per second.
If you want to prevent your smart device from connecting to the 3G or 4G
network, you have to switch off the mobile data connection of your device.
This will affect all other apps that may use the 3G or 4G mobile data
connection. Please note that, if you switch off the mobile data connection,
you will not be alerted that your baby is crying when you lose the WiFi
connection to the Internet.
Using the baby monitor away from home
You can use the monitor at any place where a 2.4 GHz WiFi network is
available, whether it as a friend’s or relative’s home or at a hotel or holiday
residence. If you have the WiFi network name and the WiFi password, you
can set up and use your baby monitor away from home. Follow the setup
instructions below to do so. Once you have set up connection with a WiFi
network, the settings are stored in the memory of your device and you
need not repeat the setup procedure as long as you use your app and
baby monitor at the same place.
Note: If the WiFi network connection requires an extra conrmation, e.g. to
agree to the terms of use, the baby monitor will not be able to connect to the
WiFi network. This may happen on hotel WiFi networks and other public WiFi
networks.
1 There are two options to connect the baby monitor to the WiFi
network.
- The rst option: When you switch on the baby monitor, you get the
message ‘Baby monitor not found’. Wait until the app offers the option
‘Reconnect the baby monitor’.
- The second option: Switch on the baby monitor. Open the left tray,
select the baby monitor and choose ‘Reconnect the baby monitor’.
2 When the app has generated a WiFi QR code, hold the screen of
your smartphone or tablet at a distance of around 20 cm in front
of the baby monitor lens. Slowly move the smartphone or tablet
closer or further away from the lens to ensure the WiFi QR is read
properly.
ENGLISH 21
3 Follow the rest of the on-screen instructions to complete setup.
The setup procedure is completed and the baby monitor is
connected to the WiFi network and ready for use, when the WiFi
status light on the front of the baby monitor turns solid green.
Note: When you return home, you have to follow the procedure above to
reconnect the baby monitor to your home WiFi network.
Using the app on several devices
You can use the uGrow Smart Baby Monitor app on more than one device
(e.g. on your iPhone and your iPad).
Note: When you log in with the same account on a device while the app is
active on another device, the device on which the app was active rst will
automatically log you out. You cannot use the app under the same account on
two different devices simultaneously.
Resetting the baby monitor
The baby monitor has a reset button on the back. When you press this
button the baby monitor is reset to its factory default settings. This means
that you disassociate all accounts from the baby monitor.
Note: Always reset the baby monitor by pressing the reset button before you
transfer the baby monitor to someone else. This is necessary to protect your
privacy. Also reset the baby monitor when you buy or receive it second-hand.
How to reset to factory default settings
Note: Make sure the baby monitor is switched on before you reset it.
1 While the baby monitor is on, press the reset button on the back
of the baby monitor with a paperclip or another pointed object. It
is recommended to do this when the baby monitor is connected to
your WiFi network.
2 Keep the reset button pressed until the baby monitor beeps, then
you can release the button. When you release the button, the baby
monitor plays a short tune to conrm the reset.
What to do after a reset to factory default settings
After the baby monitor has been reset, the WiFi status light ashes orange
when you switch on the baby monitor to indicate that it is rebooting after
a reset. When the WiFi status light stops ashing, you can connect the baby
monitor to your WiFi network again. Follow the instructions in chapter
‘First-time setup’ in this user manual. If you invited other people to access
the baby monitor, you need to invite them again.
ENGLISH22
Firmware upgrades
Upgrading is essential to safeguard your privacy and the proper functioning
of the baby monitor and the app.
- Essential upgrades are mandatory. Mandatory app upgrades are
installed on your smart device automatically and do not require
conrmation.You will only receive a notication that a forced
mandatory upgrade is taking place.
- From time to time, you receive notications that upgrades are available
for your baby monitor’s rmware or for the app software.
The upgrades are installed when you conrm them.
- To look for rmware upgrades for your baby monitor, open the left
tray and tap the settings icon next to the baby monitor. Scroll down to
‘Firmware’ and tap on it to check for rmware upgrades. If an upgrade
is available, tap on it to install.

Security and privacy
Network security
WiFi hotspots in public places, such as airpor ts and hotels, are convenient,
but they are often not secure.
We advise you to use the baby monitor only on a WiFi network protected
with WPA2 encryption. We advise you not to use the baby monitor on a
network that uses WEP encryption.
Note: WiFi networks that do not require a password are not secure.
Strong passwords
Passwords are essential to protect your WiFi network and your account
against unauthorised access. The stronger your password, the better
protected your WiFi network and your account is.
The rules for a strong password are:
1 A strong password has at least 8 characters.
2 A strong password does not contain your name, your baby’s name,
another real name or a brand name.
3 A strong password does not contain a complete word.
4 A strong password is very different from passwords that you have used
before.
5 A strong password contains characters from at least two of the
following categories:
- Letters: A, B, C or a, b, c
- Numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
- Symbols: _ . @ $
Safe use of the baby monitor app
Only use the app on a secure network
Don’t use the app on an unsecured WiFi network. We advise you to use the
baby monitor only on a WiFi network protected with WPA2 encryption.
You can also use your phone’s data network (often referred to as 3G or 4G).
Always use the latest software and rmware
Always upgrade the app software and the baby monitor rmware when
you receive a notication that an upgrade is available. Upgrades are made
available when there are software improvements or to prevent a security
issue. If you fail to upgrade, your connection to the baby monitor via the
app may no longer be safe and private.

App Store or Google Play, your phone may not have the required iOS or
Android version. This app is only compatible with iOS 7 or higher, or Android
4.1 or higher.
Please check if any of the following factors prevent a smooth download. Is
your WiFi signal stable and strong enough? Does your smart device run on
iOS 7 or higher, or Android 4.1 and higher? Do you have enough space left
on your smart device to save the app? Did you enter the correct password
for the App Store or Google Play?
If the WiFi status light is solid orange and ashed red while trying to connect,
the WiFi password entered is wrong. Restart the set up process. Re-enter the
WiFi password and make sure that the password is correct .
If the WiFi status light is solid orange and was solid red while trying to
connect, the baby monitor fails to connect to the WiFi network. First check
if your phone or tablet uses the same WiFi network you want to connect
the baby monitor to. Then check if you have Internet access to 2.4GHz WiFi.
If this does not solve the problem, make sure the router SSID (the network
name) does not contain special symbols. If it does, change the name of your
router SSID accordingly.
Make sure that you hold the WiFi QR code at approx. 20 cm/8 inch distance
from the lens. Try moving the smart device slightly up or down or left or right
to ensure the WiFi QR code is directly in front of the baby monitor. You can
also try moving the smart device closer to or further away from the baby
monitor lens to allow proper focussing. Make sure that there is enough light
in the room, but avoid too bright light. When the baby monitor has read
the WiFi QR code, you hear a conrmation sound and the WiFi status light
ashes green.

Question Answer
Perhaps you did not remove the protective foil from the baby monitor lens.
Remove the foil.
Perhaps part of your hand covers the WiFi QR code. Hold your device in
such a way that your hand does not cover the WiFi QR code.
If the WiFi status light is solid orange, the baby monitor did not read the
QR code successfully. Go back using the arrow in the top left-hand corner of
the screen and follow the QR code instructions.
If the WiFi status light ashes orange, the camera is still booting. Wait until the
light is solid orange. Then go back using the arrow in the top left-hand corner
of the screen and follow the QR code instructions.
I cannot see my baby.
What is wrong?
Why does the app not
notify me that the baby
is crying?
Check if the WiFi signal is strong enough in the room where the baby
monitor is placed.
Check if the baby monitor is connected to a live power socket and switched
on.
The WiFi status light on the front of the baby monitor must be solid green
(see chapter ‘WiFi status light signals’).
If you use more than one baby monitor, check that the correct one is
selected. Go to the left tray and tap the baby monitor to see if it is active.
Perhaps there are already three people watching the baby. The app only
allows three people to watch simultaneously. If you have administrator rights,
you can remove access for one of the guests to be able to watch yourself.
Check if the baby monitor is connected to the WiFi network. The WiFi status
light on the front of the baby monitor must be solid green.
The baby monitor may be ofine. To receive a notication that the baby
monitor goes ofine, go to the left tray and switch on this notication under
‘Settings’.
The sound threshold for notication may have been set too high. In that
case, the app will only notify you when the baby produces a lot of sound.
Open the dashboard to lower the sound threshold to ensure that you will be
notied sooner when the baby starts crying.
You may have set the duration of the crying too long. Choose a shorter time
so that the app noties you sooner.
The volume of your phone may be off. Set the volume of your phone to
normal.
Perhaps talk-back is active. Tap the talk-back icon to switch off talk-back.
During talk-back you don’t hear any sounds from the baby.
Check if you have not received an email to notify that your account has been
removed. If you have viewing rights as a guest, the administrator may also
deny you access temporarily. Contact the administrator and ask him or her
do enable you or to reinvite you as a guest.
Question Answer
ENGLISH 27
I lose connection
frequently. What is the
matter?
After I changed my
router, I cannot see my
baby anymore. What is
wrong?
I have been invited as
a guest, but why don’t
I see anything when I
open the app?
Check if the WiFi signal in the room where the baby monitor is placed is
strong enough and stable. If this is not the case, you need a WiFi repeater to
get a strong and stable signal. If you use a WiFi repeater, make sure that your
router and your WiFi repeater have the same SSID and that you use the
same password for the router and the repeater.
If the WiFi status light on the front of the baby monitor is solid green and you
keep losing connection, there may be a problem with the Internet connection
of your smart device. Check the WiFi signal on your smart device or the 3G
or 4G speed by trying to watch a movie, e.g. one on YouTube.
First make sure that your smart device has a good WiFi signal from the
new router. There are two options to connect the baby monitor to the
WiFi network. The rst option is to switch on the baby monitor. The app
will give the message ‘Baby monitor not found’. Go to ‘Troubleshooting’ and
select ‘Reconnect baby monitor’. The second option is to open the left tray
when the app gives the message ‘Baby monitor not found’. Select the baby
monitor in the left tray and select ‘Reconnect baby monitor’. When the
app has generated a WiFi QR code, hold the screen of your smart device
at a distance of 20cm in front of the baby monitor’s lens. Next, follow the
on-screen instructions to complete setup. The setup procedure has been
completed successfully when the WiFi status light on the front of the baby
monitor turns solid green.
Check if you have not received an email to notify that your account has been
removed. If you have viewing rights as a guest, the administrator may also
deny you access temporarily. Contact the administrator and ask him or her
do enable you or to reinvite you as a guest.
Check if your smart device is connected to the Internet.
The baby monitor may be ofine. To receive a notication that the baby
monitor goes ofine, go to the left tray and switch on this notication under

The baby monitor has switched to night vision mode. The room where the
baby monitor is placed is dark.

monitor may be covered or dirty. Make sure that this sensor is fully exposed
to the light in the room.
Yes, you can choose to continue monitoring your baby in the background.
Please note that if you use your phone to make a call, you will only hear a
ringtone when the baby starts crying. You will not hear your baby. Tap the
mobile phone symbol to switch on background audio. When background
audio is on, you hear your baby while you are engaged in other activities. You
can also choose to receive a notication when your baby is crying. Tap the
bell symbol on the main screen to switch all notications on or off. When all
notications is set to on, you will receive a message on your screen when the
baby is crying.

can add a baby monitor to your uGrow Smart Baby Monitor app. Go to ‘My
account’ in the left tray. Here you see a list of the baby monitors connected
to the app. Tap on ‘Add baby monitor’. Follow the instructions in chapter
‘First-time setup’ to connect the baby monitor to the app.
You can connect up to ten baby monitors to the app, but you can only view
the video from one baby monitor at the time. You will receive notications
from the other baby monitors connected. If you receive a notication and tap
on it, the app will take you directly to that baby monitor. You can also select
the baby monitor you want to view in the left tray.
The Internet connection of your smart device or the WiFi connection of the
baby monitor may be slow. Please check the connection of your smart device
and of the baby monitor. The app needs a stable network connection.
We do everything we can to prevent hacking and issue frequent updates.
Please make sure that you always use the latest app software and the latest
baby monitor rmware. If you lose your smart device, reset the baby monitor
to remove any connections to it. You can also log in on the app from another
smart device and delete your account. If you are the only administrator, all
guest users will be disconnected from the baby monitor too.

harm your device. To prevent this, we advise you to update your device to the
latest iOS and uGrow app version. Your device does not warm up when you
