Sound sensitivity and sound activation

Adjust the sound sensitivity of the baby unit
The parent unit screen will turn on only when the detected sounds exceed a set level. Use the parent unit to adjust the microphone sensitivity of your baby unit. The higher the sensitivity level, the more sensitive the baby unit is in detecting sounds that transmit to the parent unit. The sound sensitivity level is preset to the highest level.

When AUTO is selected, the parent unit screen stays off to save power when the baby unit detects sounds that are lower than the set sensitivity level. Once the baby unit detects sounds that are louder than the set sensitivity level, the parent unit screen turns on automatically. It will then turn off again after 50 seconds if the sounds detected are lower than the set sensitivity level.

Dim mode

Dim mode helps you save parent unit power. Your parent unit display will automatically dim after 10 minutes of inactivity, when no keys are pressed or alerts are received from the baby unit.

Notes

• Check for reception strength and cam-era angle of the baby unit before drilling the holes.
• The types of screws and anchors you need depend on the composition of the wall. You may need to purchase the screws and plugs separately to mount your baby units.

1. 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 (7/32 inch drill bit).

2. 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 anchors into the holes. Tap gently on the ends with a hammer until the anchors are flush with the wall.

3. 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.
   Insert the screws into the holes and tighten the screws until only 1/4 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. Connect the power adapter to the baby unit and a power supply.

5. 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.
