Getting started
Baby unit battery installation
You can power up the baby unit by connecting it to AC power or to four
AA alkaline batteries. Even if the baby unit is connected to AC power, we
recommend you also install four AA alkaline batteries. This guarantees
continual operation in case of a power outage.
Install four AA alkaline batteries (not supplied) into the battery compartment,
matching the polarity markings (+ and -) inside the battery compartment.
Make sure the ribbon attached inside the battery compartment is put under the
batteries and the excess ribbon is tucked in properly. Then replace the battery
compartment cover.
Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline and standard
(carbon-zinc) batteries.
The operating time for using AA batteries is short, only for a few hours. If you
want to monitor your baby for a long time, we recommend you connect your
baby unit to AC power.
If the baby unit will not be used for a long time, disconnect and remove the
battery to prevent possible leakage.
You can use rechargeable AA batteries for the baby unit, but the baby unit
cannot charge rechargeable batteries.

Getting started
Baby unit installation options
The baby unit is ready for tabletop use. Use the provided wall mount if you
want to mount it on a wall. Make sure to test the reception and the baby unit
position before completing the wall mounting installation (see Test your video
and audio monitor before use on page 20).
Tabletop to wall mount installation
Option 1: Use this method to fix the wall mount securely on the wall.
Place the wall mount on a wall and then use a pencil to mark the top two
holes as shown. Then remove the wall mount and drill two holes in the
wall (7/32” drill bit). Check for reception strength and camera angle before
drilling the holes.
If you drill the holes into a stud, go to step 3.
-OR-
If you drill the holes into an object other than a stud, insert the wall
anchors into the holes and tap gently on the ends with a hammer until the
wall anchors are flush with the wall.

sure to attach the screw in the middle hole first so that the wall mount
position is fixed. Then attach the other screw in the top hole.
Place the baby unit on the wall mount and tighten the screw into the
threaded socket at the bottom to secure the baby unit.

angle before drilling the holes.
If you drill the holes into a stud, go to step 3.

Parent unit battery installation
You can power up the parent unit by connecting it to AC power or to the
rechargeable battery provided. Even if the parent unit is connected to
AC power, we recommend you also install the battery. This guarantees
continual operation in case of a power outage.
Install the battery as shown below.
With the label THIS SIDE UP facing up, insert the small tabs of the battery
into the slots inside the battery compartment. Make sure the metallic contact
is correctly oriented as shown below. Push the battery into the battery
compartment until it clicks securely into place.
Align the battery compartment cover flat against the battery compartment,
then slide it towards the center of the parent unit until it clicks into place.
