devices and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
- Should keep wireless devices at least six inches from the pacemaker.

Three Ways to Connect Your Baby Monitor
Direct mode
The Parent Viewer and the Baby Unit are pre-paired and can connect to each
other directly in Direct mode by default, which allows you to stream live
video right out of the box.
Wi-Fi Router mode
Router mode uses your home Wi-Fi network to connect your baby monitor
system. It enhances your local access by extending connection range.
With the LeapFrog mobile app, your Wi-Fi router (not included) also provides
Internet connectivity to your baby monitor system, allowing you to control
your Baby Unit wherever you are.
Auto mode
The Parent Viewer will automatically select the most reliable connection mode
(Direct or Wi-Fi) when connecting to the Baby Unit(s). Mobile app access will
not be interrupted in Auto mode.
Test the Location
If you plan to install your Baby Unit to a designated location, and will use
your home Wi-Fi network to connect your video monitor, test whether your
selected monitoring areas have good Wi-Fi signal strength.
Check the Parent Viewer’s Wi-Fi signal strength by going to:
> Configure WIFI > Connection Status.
Adjust the direction and distance between your Baby Unit, Parent Viewer, and
Wi-Fi router until you have identified a suitable location with good
connection.
Protect Your Privacy and Online Security
LeapFrog cares about your privacy and peace of mind. That’s why we’ve put
together a list of industry-recommended best practices to help keep your
wireless connection private and your devices protected when online.
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.
– 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.

Night Light

Adjust the night light on Baby Unit
- Tap the Night light control key located on the top of Baby Unit to turn on and turn off the night light.
- Tap and hold the Night light control key to adjust the night light’s brightness level.
Note:
