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 “WPA2-
PSK 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: 1. Federal Communications Commission: Wireless Connections and Bluetooth Security Tips www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/how-protect-yourself- online. 2.

How the system works
Direct mode
The parent unit and the baby unit of your video monitor connect to each others in Direct mode by default, which allows you to stream live video right out of the box. Direct mode connection lets you stream live video from parent unit only.

Local access

· You may experience reduced signal strength if your parent unit and baby unit are far apart, or there are obstructing factors, such as internal walls, between them. Move the parent unit closer to the baby unit to improve the signal strength. You can also set up Router mode to connect via your home Wi- Fi network to improve the connection between your parent unit and baby unit.

Router mode

You can continue using your video monitor with Direct mode connection, or you can set up your monitor in Router mode connection.

Router mode uses your home Wi-Fi network to connect your video monitor. It supports streaming live video through parent unit and smartphone app.

We recommend that you set up your monitor in Router mode to enjoy streaming live video via your parent unit with better connection.

Mobile access

Enhanced local access

If you want to stream live video remotely with your mobile device, download and install the MyVTech Baby Pro mobile app. With the mobile app, your Wi-Fi router (not included) provides Internet connectivity to your video monitor system.

For detail, see Download app for mobile access section in this quick start guide.

Notes
· Your parent unit detects the connection signal strength. If you have connected your video monitor with your home Wi-Fi network, your parent unit automatically switches to direct or router mode – the one that has stronger signal strength.
· When both parent unit and app are viewing the camera simultaneously, the video quality will be optimised to deliver the best possible viewing result.

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.
