Positioning the baby monitor
Place the parent unit within the operating range
of the baby unit. We recommend the parent
unit is at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from the
baby unit to avoid audio feedback. If you still
experience audio feedback, move the parent
unit and the baby unit farther apart.
Operating range
The operating range of the baby monitor is
up to 300 meters (1000 feet) outdoors or
50 meters (160 feet) indoors. The actual
operating range may vary depending on
the environmental conditions, and other
interferences such as walls, doors, and other
obstructions.

4. Connect the parent unit
to the power supply
again; or insert two new
AAA alkaline batteries.

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

when I switch on the
units?

connected to the power
supply.

to power supply.
Connect the parent unit to
power supply; or insert two

to each other. Make sure
the parent unit and the baby
unit at least 1 meter (3 feet)
away from each other.
Why does the
parent unit react
too quickly to other
sounds?
The baby unit also picks up
other sounds than those
of your baby. Adjust the
speaker volume on the
parent unit.
Why don’t I hear a
sound/Why can’t I
hear my baby cry?
You may have muted the
volume or set it to a lower
level. You may need to
adjust the volume to a
higher level.
Why does the
parent unit beep?
The baby units may be out
of range. Move the parent
unit closer to the baby units
(but not less than 1 meter /
3 feet).
Why does the
parent unit LOW
BATTERY light
flash?
When the parent unit is
powered by batteries, there
is not sufficient power for
the parent unit to perform
normally. Replace with two
new AAA alkaline batteries.
Why can’t I establish
a connection? Why
is the connection
lost every now and
then? Why are there
sound interruptions?
The baby units may be out
of range. Move the parent
unit closer to the baby units
(but not less than 1 meter /
3 feet).

may cause interference with
your baby monitor. Try
