CABLE MANAGEMENT
PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY AND ONLINE SECURITY
VTech cares about your privacy and peace of mind. That’s why we’ve put together a list of industryrecommended best practices to help keep your wireless connection private and your devices protected when online. We recommend you carefully review and consider complying with the following tips.
Ensure your wireless connection is secure.
- Before installing a device, ensure your router’s wireless signal is encrypted by selecting the “WPA2PSK with AES” setting in your router’s wireless security menu.
Change default settings.
- Change your wireless router’s default wireless network name (SSID) to something unique.
- Change default passwords to unique, strong passwords. A strong password:
– Is at least 10 characters long.
– Is complex.
– Does not contain dictionary words or personal information.
– Contains a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, special characters and numbers.
Keep your devices up to date.
- Download security patches from manufacturers as soon as they become available. This will ensure you always have the latest security updates.
- If the feature is available, enable automatic updates for future releases.
Disable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) on your router.
- UPnP enabled on a router can limit the effectiveness of your firewall by allowing other network devices to open inbound ports without any intervention or approval from you. A virus or other malware program could use this function to compromise security for the entire network.
For more information on wireless connections and protecting your data, please review the following resources from industry experts:

•Turn down the volume of your parent unit.
TEST THE LOCATION FOR THE BABY UNIT
If you plan to install your baby unit in a designated location, and use your home Wi-Fi network to connect your video monitor, you need to test which of your selected monitoring areas within the house have good Wi-Fi signal strength. After you have powered on your parent unit, you can use your parent unit Wi-Fi signal strength indicator to assist in checking. Once you have identified the suitable location, you can install your baby unit. Adjust the distance between your baby unit and the Wi-Fi router if needed.
TIP
•Depending on surroundings and obstructing factors, such as the effect
distance and internal walls have on signal strength, you may experience
reduced Wi-Fi signal. To improve the Wi-Fi signal strength, adjust the
distance or direction of your parent unit. Check with your parent unit
again.
MOUNT THE BABY UNIT OPTIONAL
NOTES
- Check for reception strength and camera angle of the baby unit before drilling the holes.
- The types of screws and plugs you need depend on the composition of the wall.
You may need to purchase the screws and plugs separately to mount your baby units.
-
Place the wall mount bracket on a wall and then use a pencil to mark two holes in parallel. Remove the wall mount bracket and drill two holes in the wall (5.5mm drill bit).
-
If you drill the holes into a stud, go to step 3.
If you drill the holes into an object other than a stud, insert the wall plugs into the holes.
Tap gently on the ends with a hammer until the wall plugs are flush with the wall. -
Align the wall mount bracket and screws with the holes in the wall as shown. Tighten the screw in the middle hole first, so that the wall mount bracket position is fixed. You can tighten the other screw in the top hole.
-
Place the baby unit on the wall mount bracket, and then slide it forward until it locks into place.
Connect the power adapter to the baby unit . 3.Insert the screws into the holes and tighten the screws until only 6.5mm inch of the screws are exposed. 4.Place the baby unit on the wall mount bracket, and then slide it forward until it locks into place. Align the holes on the wall mount bracket with the screws on the wall, and slide the wall mount bracket down until it locks into place. -
You can maximize your baby unit viewing angles by tilting the wall mount bracket.
