Operating range

This baby monitor operates with the maximum power allowed by the

Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this baby unit
and parent unit can communicate over only a certain distance - which
can vary with the locations of the baby unit, parent unit, the weather,
and the layout of your home.

Maintenance

Taking care of your baby monitor

Your baby monitor contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must
be treated with care.

Avoid rough treatment

Place the baby unit and parent unit down gently. Save the original
packing materials to protect your baby monitor if you ever need to
ship it.

Avoid water

Your baby monitor can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the
parent unit and/or baby unit outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet
hands. Do not install the baby monitor near a sink, bathtub or shower.

Electrical storms

Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to
electronic equipment. For your own safety, use caution when using
electrical appliances during storms.

Cleaning your baby monitor

Your baby monitor has a durable plastic casing that should retain its
luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened

with water or mild soap. Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents

of any kind.

Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you

are wet or standing in water. If the baby units and/or parent unit should fall into
water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORDS
FROM THE WALL. Then pull the units out by the unplugged cords.

FCC Part 15

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
requirements for a Class B digital device under Part 15 of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) rules. These requirements are
intended to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that

•
to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

•

Changes or modications to this equipment not expressly approved by

the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is

subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause

harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

To ensure safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the
amount of radio frequency energy that can be safely absorbed by a
user or bystander according to the intended usage of the product. This
product has been tested and found to comply with the FCC criteria.
The baby unit shall be installed and used such that parts of the baby’s

body are maintained at a distance of approximately 20 cm (8 inches)

or more.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
