SET UP & USE (continued):
Testing Your Initial Setup:
Be sure to test your Monitor’s reception before initial use.
We also recommend testing your Monitor’s reception periodically.
Please keep in mind that the Best View™ Digital Color Video Monitor
will not provide the same level of picture quality as your television
with cable, satellite dish, or digital service.
To test reception you will need two adults. One adult should view the
picture on the Monitor while the other is in the nursery to adjust the
Camera. Often the quality of the reception can be improved by
slightly repositioning the Camera, Monitor, or both. It may help to
place a stuffed animal or doll in the crib to simulate the position and
size of your baby. Adjust the picture quality on the Monitor as
needed by using the Brightness Adjustment within monitor menu.
To test sound quality, have one adult speak in both a normal tone
and a whisper near the crib. Adjust volume on the Monitor’s
Volume Adjustment as needed.
To Use the Video Monitor in Portable Mode:
For use in portable mode, the Monitor requires 1 3.7V LITHIUM-ION
rechargeable battery (included).
Tips:
• Before using Monitor in portable mode (battery), be sure to
charge battery 12-16 hours.
• To charge battery, plug the Monitor AC Adapter into the
Monitor’s AC Adapter Jack. Plug the other end into a standard
electrical outlet.
• After initial 12-16 hour charge, to achieve optimal battery life,
charge battery overnight and unplug all day during use.
• Note: Only charge battery when low indicator light comes on.
Constant recharging of your battery before low battery indicator
light comes on will decrease the life of your batteries.
• When battery is low, the Power On LED will illuminate amber,
indicating that the battery needs to be recharged.
SET UP & USE (continued):
• To conserve battery power, use AC Adapter whenever possible.
Remove battery during long periods of non-use.
• If battery is exhausted, remove immediately from the Monitor.
• Properly dispose of exhausted battery.

Note: This step is only needed if replacing battery.
1. Locate the battery compartment door on back of monitor.
2. Remove battery door screw with flat head
screwdriver.
3. Remove battery door and battery.

convenience. Simply flip out footrest and place
the Monitor on a stable, level surface (Figure G).
Synching Monitor and CAMERA:
The Monitor and Camera are synched at the factory
for privacy reasons. If the Monitor and Camera are
not synching with each other for any reason, please
