IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR INSTALLING YOUR BABY MONITOR

• To use your camera (baby unit) and the monitor (Parent Unit) together, you must be able to establish a radio link between them, and the range may be affected by environmental conditions.
• Any large metal object, like a refrigerator, a mirror, a filing cabinet, metallic doors or reinforced concrete between the camera and the monitor may block the radio signal.
• The signal strength may also be reduced by other solid structures, like walls or electrical equipment, such as radios, TVs, computers, cordless or mobile phones, fluorescent lights or dimmer switches.
• Use of other 2.4 GHz products, such as wireless networks (Wi-Fi® routers), Bluetooth® systems, or microwave ovens, may cause interference with this product, so keep the Baby Monitor at least 1.5 metres (5 feet) from these types of products, or turn them off if they appear to be causing interference.
• If the signal is weak, try moving the monitor and/or the camera to different positions in the rooms.
