ANR Explained

How it works
The DXR-8 PRO is fitted with a sound processing chipset that detects repetitive sound waves in background audio and reduces it, allowing you to hear sounds made by your baby to be more pronounced. ANR works best with appliances that emit a repetitive/constant droning sound.
Intended purpose
Activate ANR to filter out background noise from appliances such as:

• Fans
• Air purifiers
• Air conditioners
• Humidifiers
• Heaters
• Mechanical white noise machines

ANR also filters out the ambient static noise that is commonly found in baby monitors. Usage with sound machines
Results may vary with certain sound machines. Some soundtracks from digital sound machines are non-repeating sound waves. This may result the background noise to be distorted. If the sound machine is very loud or very close to the camera unit, the effects will be more pronounced. Sounds made by your baby (such as crying, talking, mumbling, or shuffling in the bedsheets) are not affected. If background noises sound distorted with ANR activated, please contact our ANR Experts at ANR@infantoptics.com.
Constant sound waves -> ANR  e.g. fans, air purifiers, heaters  , Non-Constant sound waves -> ANR e.g. certain sound machines

Lens Type

the camera lens. No special video effects. Recommended for normal settings.
Optical Zoom Lens| | Telephoto lens zooms inward, resulting in objects appearing closer while enchanting the detail of objects at further distances. Recommended when the Camera Unit is a greater distance away from the crib.
Optical Wide Angle Lens (sold separately)| | Zooms image outwards, allowing greater peripheral vision. Provides wide angle vision. Results in slight distortion and reduced clarity. Recommended for room activity surveillance.

WARNING:
STRANGULATION HAZARD
STRANGULATION HAZARD – Children have STRANGLED in cords.
Keep this cord out of the children (keep at least 3 ft (0.9m) away). CHOKING HAZARD
The Optical Lens (and Lens Hood) are small parts. Keep the Camera
Unit away from the baby’s reach at all times.

Troubleshooting

Camera Unit does not switch on

• Ensure that the Camera Unit is ON (Power LED indicator shows a green light).
• Ensure the Camera Power Adapter is properly connected.
• There may be no power from the outlet. Switch to another electrical outlet.

Monitor Unit does not switch on

• The battery may not be securely connected inside the battery compartment.
  Reconnect the battery and ensure that the tab is firmly plugged into the slot.

• The battery may be depleted. Recharge or replace the battery.

• Ensure that the power button is pressed and held for at least 4 seconds.

Camera Unit loses link with Monitor Unit

• If the Camera Unit is too far away with low reception, move the Camera Unit closer to the Monitor Unit.
• Reset both units by disconnecting them from both battery and electrical power. Wait about 15 seconds, then reconnect.
• Large metallic objects, including doors, refrigerators, mirrors, filing cabinets, and reinforced concrete, may block the radio signal between the Camera Unit and Monitor Unit.
• The signal strength may be reduced when in close proximity to radio or electrical equipment, such as TVs, computers, cordless or mobile phones, fluorescent lights, or dimmer switches.
• Use of other 2.4GHz products, such as wireless networks (WiFi routers), Bluetooth systems, or microwave ovens, may cause interference with this product. Keep the Camera and Monitor Unit at least 5 ft (1.5m) away from these items, or tum them off if they appear to cause interference.
•  Pair the Camera Unit under a different channel.

No picture from Camera Unit

• Ensure that the Camera and Monitor Unit are both ON.
• The Camera Unit has not been registered to the Monitor Unit. Register the Camera Unit.

No sound from Monitor Unit

• Volume setting may be too low. Adjust to a higher setting. Picture is black and white
• Night vision LEO may be ON. Night vision mode operates in black and white.
• Turn on room lights to force the monitor out of night vision mode.

The picture playback is not smooth {choppy video with low frame rate)

• The Camera and Monitor Unit may be too far apart.
• Ensure that both the Monitor and Camera Unit remain at least three feet away from any routers or 2.4GHz Wi-Fi devices such as smartphones and tablets. Users may forget that they have a smartphone in their pocket when using the Monitor Unit, or may place the Monitor Unit close to their smartphone on a bedside table at night. Maintaining distance between the Monitor Unit and Wi-Fi devices minimizes interference. Ensure that no 2.4GHz devices are located between the direct line of communication of the Monitor and Camera Unit. For example, ensure that there is no smartphone between the Monitor Unit and the Camera Unit (regardless of the room in which the devices are placed).
• If the Monitor and Camera Unit are located on the same floor, position the antenna in the upright position. If the Monitor and Camera Unit are on different floors (e.g. in a two-story house), position the antenna in the horizontal position.
• Change the Wi-Fi channel setting on your router. As per the instruction manual of your router, change the Channel from “Automatic* to “Channel 1° in “Settings”. If “Channel 1″ does not work, try other channels.
• Thera may be interference with your Wi-Fi network, such as slow download speeds. Try positioning the Monitor and Camera Unit as far away from your router as possible. Avoid placing your router between the Camera Unit and the Monitor Unit. Ensure that nearby Wi-Fi devices are in the SGHz band, if possible.

Camera Unit power LED changes brightness.

• This is normal. The Power LED indicator is set to dim when in the dark and brighten when ambient light is detected.

Noise (static, beeping)

• Battery power may be too low; recharge or replace the battery.
• Possible alarm ring alert.
• Possible out of signal alert.

Noise interference on Monitor Unit

•  Volume setting may be too high. Adjust to a lower setting.
• The Camera and Monitor Unit may be too close. Move them further apart.
• The Camera Unit may be too far away and out of range. Move the Camera Unit closer to the

Monitor Unit.

• Ensure the Camera and Monitor Unit are placed away from other electrical equipment, such as a television, computer, or cordless/mobile telephone.

Battery will not charge or there is no charge light

• Try the included spare charging cable.

• The battery may not be securely connected inside the battery compartment.
  Reconnect the battery and ensure that the tab is firmly plugged into the slot.

• The battery may be depleted. Recharge or replace the battery.

Temperature reading is not accurate

• Move the sensor further away from the Camera Unit.
• Ensure adequate airflow around the Camera Unit.
• Avoid placing the Camera Unit near a structure that radiates heat, such as a window or wall.
• Avoid placing the unit near heaters, air conditioning vents, and heat producing appliances such as lights.
• Move the Camera Unit to a lower altitude to avoid heat that rises to the ceiling.

Pairing failed
Ensure that the Power Adapter is connected to the Camera Unit.

• Ensure that the Camera Unit is turned ON (Power LED indicator shows a green light).
• Ensure the PAIR Button is long pressed until the Power LED starts blinking rapidly.
• Try pairing to another CAM channel.

Video not clear with stagnant spots/marks on the screen

• The optical lens could be dirty. Smudges and dust on the optical lens can diminish sharpness and reduce video quality. Remove smudges and dust on the lens by using a microfiber cloth or a piece of lens tissue to wipe the lens surface in a circular motion.

If the above troubleshooting guide did not help you solve your problem, contact customer service. Our toll-free number and customer service email address are located in the back of this User Manual.

• The Camera and Monitor Unit have 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.
