Night vision

The baby unit has infrared LEDs that allow you to see your baby clearly at night or in a dark room. When the baby unit being viewed detects low light levels, the infrared LEDs are switched on automatically. The images from the baby unit are in black and white, and appears on the screen.

Notes

• It is normal if you see a short white glare on your parent unit screen as the baby unit is adapting to the dark environment.

• When the infrared LEDs are on, the images are in black and white. This is normal.
  Tip

• Depending on the surroundings and other interfering factors, like lightings, objects, colors and backgrounds, the display resolution may vary. Adjust the baby unit’s angle or place the baby unit at a higher level to prevent glare and blurry display.

Mount the baby unit (optional)

Note

• Check for reception strength and camera angle before drilling the holes.
• The types of screws and anchors you need depend on the composition of the wall.
• Use a pencil to mark two holes in parallel. Make sure they are the same distance apart as the wall mount holes on the baby unit.

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

• Insert the screws into the holes and tighten the screws until only 1/4 inch of the screws are exposed.

• Place the baby unit on the wall mount bracket. Tighten the screw into the threaded socket at the bottom to secure the baby unit.

• Place the baby unit on the wall mount bracket. Tighten the screw into the threaded socket at the bottom to secure the baby unit. 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’s viewing angles by tilting the wall mount bracket.
Hold the baby unit, and then rotate the knob in anticlockwise direction. This will loosen the joint of the wall mount bracket.
Tilt your baby unit up or down to adjust to your preferred angle.
Then, rotate the knob in clockwise direction to tighten the joint and secure the angle.
