When the infrared LEDs are on, the image is in black and white. This is normal due to external light sources.

Depending on the surroundings and other interfering factors, like lightings, objects, colors and backgrounds, the display resolution may vary. Adjust the baby unit’s angle or place the baby unit at a higher level to prevent glare and blurry display.

Add new baby unit (VM305)

The baby units and parent unit provided are already paired. You can add or replace any baby units (VM305 purchased separately) to your video and audio monitor system. You can pair a maximum of four baby units to your parent unit.

For more details, refer to the user’s manual that comes with your VM305 new baby unit.

Frequently asked questions

Below are the questions most frequently asked about the baby monitor. If you cannot ﬁnd the answer to your question, visit our website at www.vtechphones.com, or contact 1 (800) 595-9511 for customer service.

Why does the baby monitor not respond normally?

Why don’t the power-on light of the baby unit and parent unit go on when I switch on the units?

Why doesn’t my parent unit charge while connected to AC power?

Why is my screen in black and white?

Why do I get glare or blurry display on my screen when viewing my baby at night?

Why does the baby monitor produce a high-pitched noise?

Try the following (in the order listed) for common sure:

1. Disconnect the power to the baby units and the parent unit.

2. Remove the batteries in the parent unit. Then install the batteries again.

3. Wait a few minutes before connecting power back to the baby units and the parent unit.

4. Turn on the baby units and the parent unit.

5. Wait for the parent unit to synchronize with the baby units. Allow up to one minute for this to take place.

Perhaps the parent unit is not connected to the mains. Insert the appliance plug into the parent unit and put the adapter in a wall socket. Then press to switch on the parent unit and to establish connection with the baby unit.

Perhaps the baby unit is not connected to the mains. Connect the baby unit to the mains. Then set ON/OFF switch to ON to switch on the baby unit and to establish connection with the parent unit.

Make sure the power is not controlled by a wall switch.

You may have used the battery for a long time. Replace a new battery.

The screen is in black and white during nighttime or in a dark room. This is normal due to external light sources.

During nighttime or in a dark room, the surroundings and other interfering factors, like lightings, objects, colors and backgrounds may affect the image quality on your parent unit screen. Adjust the baby unit’s angle or place the baby unit at a higher level to prevent glare and blurry display.

The units may be too close to each other. Make sure the parent unit and the baby unit at least 1 meter/3 feet away from each other.

The ON/OFF light on the baby unit ﬂashes and the parent unit displays .

Why does the parent unit beep?

Why does the parent unit beep/vibrate frequently in SPLIT-VIEW mode?

If the parent unit is powered by the provided battery, it may not have enough charge for the parent unit to perform normally. Charge the battery in the parent unit for up to 3 hours.

If your parent unit is in SPLIT-VIEW mode, some of your baby units may detect sounds.

The temperature of your baby’s room may be too high or too low.

You may have set the sound sensitivity level to level 5 when the sound alert (and vibration) feature are turned on. The parent unit notiﬁes you of all sounds including background noise with beeps (or vibrations). Adjust the sound sensitivity to a lower level.

The baby unit also picks up other sounds than those of your baby. Adjust the sensitivity level to a lower level or adjust the speaker volume on the parent unit.

Why don’t I hear a sound/ Why can’t I hear my baby cry?

Why can’t I establish a connection? Why is the connection lost every now and then? Why are there sound interruptions?

The parent unit speaker volume may be too low or off. Press VOL+ to increase the volume.

You may have set a low sound sensitivity level. See Adjust the

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers

Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless devices):

Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless devices and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:

Pacemaker patients

Should keep wireless devices at least six inches

•

from the pacemaker. Should NOT place wireless devices directly over the

•

pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.

WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless devices.

Stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme

Les simulateurs cardiaques (ne s’applique qu’aux dispositifs numériques sans fil) :

L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)’, une firme de recherche indépendante, a mené une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre les téléphones sans fil portatifs et les stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme. Appuyée par l’Administration des aliments et drogues (FDA) des États-Unis, la firme WTR recommande aux médecins:

Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques

Vous devriez maintenir les dispositifs sans fil à au

•

moins six pouces du simulateur cardiaque. Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil

•

directement sur le stimulateur cardiaque, tel que dans une poche de chemise, lorsque celui-ci est en marche.

L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas identifié de risque pour les détenteurs de simulateurs cardiaques causés par les gens qui utilisent dispositifs sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.
